How RugSniff works

Short, plain-language explanations for beginners.

What is a rug pull?

When creators or insiders drain liquidity or dump their tokens, leaving buyers with something they can’t sell.

How sniffing works

RugSniff reads public Solana data (authorities, holders, liquidity, trades) and scores red flags. You get 5 free full sniffs per day; Pro is unlimited.

Risk score

0–100 summary of the checks below. Lower means fewer red flags were found — it is never a guarantee. We say “Lower Risk”, not “safe”.

Mint authority

If someone still holds the mint authority they can create new tokens at any time and dilute holders. Revoked is better.

Freeze authority

If active, the holder can freeze your token account so you can’t sell. Revoked is better.

Holder concentration

How much of the supply the top 10 wallets own. A few wallets holding most of it can dump the price.

Liquidity

Money in the trading pool. Low liquidity means big price swings and trouble selling.

Market cap

Price × circulating supply. Small caps move fast in both directions.

Token age

How long the token has traded. Brand-new tokens have no track record.

Order flow

Buys vs sells over recent hours. Heavy selling can mean insiders are exiting.

Trading on RugSniff

Swaps are routed through Jupiter and signed by your own wallet. We never hold your keys or funds. A small platform fee (0.25% Free, 0.15% Pro) is included in the same transaction.

Wallets & tracking

Link a wallet to see your portfolio and PnL. The Wallet Tracker lets you follow any public wallet.

Callouts & leaderboard

Callouts are public token calls with the price at post time. The leaderboard ranks verified trades made through RugSniff.

Pro

9.99 USDC/month on-chain via Solana’s Subscriptions program. Cancel any time from your profile or wallet.

Staying safe

Never share your seed phrase. Double-check the mint address. Only trade what you can afford to lose. Nothing here is financial advice.
