MintGuardian: Rug Pull Checker

Rug check any crypto token before you buy. MintGuardian scans token contracts for scam patterns and rug-pull risk — before you put money in.

A honeypot checker, rug pull detector and liquidity lock scanner in one app. Paste a contract address, get a clear verdict in seconds: LOW RISK, RISKY, or DANGER. No wallet connection required. Ever.

WHAT IT CHECKS — over 40 separate checks

CAN YOU GET OUT
- Honeypot behaviour: contract that lets you buy but not sell (EVM chains)
- Sell restrictions and blocked buys
- Trade taxes: 5%, 10%, or 50%+ where exit is practically impossible
- Liquidity depth: is there a market big enough to sell into
- Liquidity lock: how much of the pool can be pulled out
- Price impact of a $500 sell

WHO STILL CONTROLS THE TOKEN
- Mint authority: can more supply still be printed
- Freeze authority: can your balance be frozen
- Permanent delegate: can anyone move or burn your tokens (Solana)
- Transfer hooks that can cancel a transfer (Solana)
- Owner powers: hidden owner, ability to reclaim ownership, pausable transfers, blacklists, changeable fees and trade limits
- Whether ownership was truly renounced — read from the contract itself, not from a provider flag

WHO HOLDS IT
- Top-10 concentration and largest single wallet
- Creator and owner holdings
- A single account holding the entire supply
- Supply still sitting in the pool or on a launch curve (Solana)

THE CONTRACT ITSELF
- Published source code
- Proxy contracts: logic that can be swapped out
- Self-destruct
- External calls
- A creator who has shipped a honeypot before
- Database of documented rug pulls

WHAT IT DOESN'T CHECK
Every scan lists what it could not measure — wallet linkage between large holders, and anything the data provider failed to return. The score is capped when coverage is thin, and new tokens cannot reach LOW RISK at all.

MintGuardian is an informational security tool. It does not provide financial advice, does not connect to your wallet, and never asks for your keys.
