Rug Radar

Most Transparent

← Back to the free tools. This research page is kept separate from the scam checker. It summarises public records and attributed third-party research; it is not part of any Rug Score.

Researchers and accounts with a documented public record of exposing rugs and insider selling, warning followers and disclosing their conflicts, ranked by our Honesty Score. Every claim is linked to its source.

Absence of evidence is not proof. A high score means we found no regulator action and no credible on-chain evidence of selling into followers. It does not mean none exists. This is not an endorsement of anyone, or of any product or token they sell, and it is not investment advice.

  1. 1

    ZachXBT @zachxbt

    93

    On-chain investigator. Per Benzinga, he alleged in July 2025 that 45+ wallets linked to an influencer sold $11M+ of a token the influencer had promoted, and he urged followers to stop blindly following calls. In Sept 2025 he published a leaked KOL price sheet and said fewer than 5 of 160+ paid accounts had disclosed their posts as ads (The Block). He also corrected an overstated wallet attribution in Bubblemaps' Sahil Arora thread (ct.com). His bio discloses "Advisor @paradigm".

  2. 2

    Molly White @molly0xFFF

    85

    Runs the critical crypto timeline Web3 Is Going Just Great (about). Her written disclosure statement says she holds under $500 of crypto in a research address, has no long or short crypto positions, and publishes no sponsored content. It also discloses a past fellowship that was funded via the Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web.

  3. 3

    Bubblemaps @bubblemaps

    81

    Wallet-cluster analytics. It published the @0xEthan and Sahil Arora investigations. Points deducted: ZachXBT showed that one Sahil wallet attribution was an exchange wallet. In addition, when its own BMT token launched, a deployer-linked cluster held about 94% of supply; Bubblemaps said the tokenomics were disclosed and vest over 4 years (Decrypt). OWN TOKEN

  4. 4

    Coffeezilla (Stephen Findeisen) @coffeebreak_YT

    80

    A three-part CryptoZoo investigation (Dec 2022), using on-chain records, reported multi-million-dollar token sales by project insiders (The Deep Dive). Logan Paul's defamation suit against him settled in July 2026 with no verdict and undisclosed terms (CoinScoop). NO DISCLOSURE POLICY FOUND

  5. 5

    Taylor Monahan @tayvano_

    78

    While at MetaMask, she linked more than $35M in thefts from 150+ victims to seed phrases stored in LastPass, and publicly urged followers to move their funds (KrebsOnSecurity).

  6. 5

    Scam Sniffer @realScamSniffer

    78

    A security company that publishes annual wallet-drainer loss reports with stated methodology and limitations: $83.85M lost across 106,106 victims in 2025 (report). It also sells a browser extension.

  8. 8

    Lookonchain @lookonchain

    70

    An on-chain tracking account. It published an analysis of wallets from the leaked KOL price sheet, concluding that the KOLs profit from promotion rather than trading. SPONSORSHIP POLICY UNVERIFIED

  9. 9

    samczsun @samczsun

    68

    Founded the Security Alliance (SEAL) and its SEAL 911 emergency line for crypto security incidents. He was Paradigm's head of security at the time (The Block). His bio discloses "founder @_SEAL_Org".

  10. 10

    0xngmi @0xngmi

    58

    DefiLlama developer. In 2023 he publicly opposed a proposed LLAMA token; DefiLlama then said no token was planned and apologized (The Block). Lower score: no rug-exposure work.

How the Honesty Score works (0–100, higher = stronger documented record)
  • Exposure work (35): 35 for multiple on-chain-backed exposés naming specific promoters or insiders; 20 for regular rug/loss alerts or data; 10 for security work only.
  • Clean regulator/court record (25): 25 if no action against them is found; 20 if sued over their reporting and resolved with no adverse finding; 0 for an adverse finding.
  • Disclosure (15): 15 for a written disclosure policy; 8 for an affiliation disclosed in their profile or in press; 0 if none is found.
  • No selling into followers (15): 15 if no credible allegation is found; 8 if criticised over token concentration without evidence of selling.
  • Accuracy (10): 10 if no documented major error is found; 5 for a documented error.

The score summarises what we found in public sources as of Oct 14, 2026.
