Rug Check (Token Safety Check)
The process of evaluating a token's smart contract and liquidity to assess the risk of a rug pull.
Explained Simply
A rug check involves analyzing a token's smart contract code, liquidity lock status, ownership permissions, holder distribution, and trading patterns to determine if it's likely to be a scam. Red flags include: unlocked liquidity, mint functions that allow unlimited token creation, honeypot mechanisms that prevent selling, and a single wallet holding a large percentage of supply. Tools like Token Sniffer, RugDoc, and GoPlus automate these checks. Always rug-check a token before investing, especially for new or low-cap tokens.
