How it works

Most rugs leave signals
before they happen.

Locked LP that unlocks. Top-5 wallets accumulating. Owner privileges that were never renounced. The patterns are on-chain and public — you just have to look. Here's how we look.

Step01

Start with the contract address.

Every token has a contract address and a chain. Paste the address — we identify the chain. EVM, Solana, Tron, and 24 others. One URL pattern:

app.dexscanner.app/scan/<chain>/<address>

Cached scans return in under a second. Fresh scans take longer because we're actually fetching data, not regurgitating a stored snapshot.

Step02

Check what most traders miss.

Contract permissions, liquidity behavior, ownership concentration, mintability, trading restrictions — the signals that usually appear before a rug. Each comes from a single source of truth, not an averaged blur.

  • GoPlus Labs

    Honeypot simulation, LP lock status, owner privileges, contract flags (mintable, pausable, self-destruct, proxy), holder concentration, deployer wallet history.

  • DexScreener

    Live price, 24h volume, liquidity, pair creation time, social links, token logos.

  • GeckoTerminal

    OHLCV candles (last 7 days free, full range for Pro), price fallback when DexScreener doesn't index the pair.

  • Block explorers

    Contract creation timestamp, deployer address, deployer's other contracts (rug pattern detection).

These are public sources — we're not pretending to have proprietary data. The work is in how we weight, combine, and explain what they return.

Step03

One signal doesn't make a verdict.

Signals are grouped into five risk categories, each capped by how much it can hurt the score. A bad signal costs points up to the cap — never more. A honeypot is the one exception: it drops the score to zero.

Step04

A verdict you can read in plain English.

The scan result goes through an AI that's only allowed to cite the numbers in front of it. Max three findings, tone matched to the score. No hallucinations, no invented stats.

  • Cites only what's in the scan

    The prompt names every number the AI is allowed to use. Invented stats get rejected before they ever reach you.

  • Tone matches the score

    A low-risk verdict can't include a critical finding. The score bucket caps what severities are allowed in the output.

Honest

What we don't do.

  • We don't predict price.

    No 'X will moon' calls. The scan tells you whether the contract is safe to interact with — not whether the price goes up.

  • We don't give financial advice.

    Use the scan to inform your decision. The buy click is still yours.

  • We don't catch every rug.

    New tokens with no liquidity, freshly deployed contracts, tokens that go bad post-scan — these are blind spots. Re-scan before every meaningful buy.

  • We don't operate a custodial service.

    No wallets held, no funds moved. The scanner reads on-chain data; that's it.

  • We don't sell your data.

    No tracking pixels, no third-party analytics that ship PII. The scan history we store is yours, exportable to CSV.
