What the labels mean
A label is an observation with evidence attached, not a verdict on a person. Rug traces and bundling get stuck on in plain sight, and so does the chance that the label itself is wrong.
Severity is how large the risk is. Confidence is how sure the call is. They move independently: the label with the biggest severity on this page is also the one most likely to be mistaken.
Mint authority is live
mint-authority-livealerthigh confidence- What it says
- The mint account still has a mint authority set, so more supply can be issued. The label states the capability, not an intention.
- What fires it
- mintAuthority is not null on the mint account. Binary, nothing computed.
- How it can be wrong
- Almost none, it is a settled on-chain fact. Some Token-2022 staking and rebasing designs keep the authority on purpose, so a live authority is not automatically a plan to dilute.
Freeze authority is live
freeze-authority-livealerthigh confidence- What it says
- A freeze authority is set, so specific wallets can be blocked from selling.
- What fires it
- freezeAuthority is not null on the mint account.
- How it can be wrong
- Almost none. Worth knowing: launchpads that revoke mint authority by default do not always revoke freeze, so this is checked per mint rather than assumed from the launchpad.
LP burned
lp-burnedinfohigh / medium confidence- What it says
- The pool's LP tokens were burned, so that liquidity cannot be pulled back out.
- What fires it
- Burn share of 99% or more by supply calculation, or a confirmed migration burn. Partial burns are printed as the measured percentage.
- How it can be wrong
- Token-2022 pools and classic SPL pools burn differently, and reading one with the other's rule misjudges it. Liquidity split across several pools can leave a withdrawable pool behind a burned one, so the label is attached per pool.
LP locked
lp-lockedinfohigh / medium confidence- What it says
- LP tokens sit in a known locker contract with an unlock time still in the future.
- What fires it
- LP holder is an account owned by a known locker program and unlock time is after now.
- How it can be wrong
- An unknown locker reads as unlocked, so the absence of this label never means liquidity is withdrawable. Locked is also weaker than burned: the unlock date is shown because after it passes the lock is gone.
Thin liquidity
lp-thincautionhigh confidence- What it says
- Summed quote-side depth across every pool found is small enough that exiting moves the price hard.
- What fires it
- Under about $1,000 of quote depth across all pools found.
- How it can be wrong
- Missing one of several pools reads as thin when it is not, so every discovered pool is summed. A stale reserve read can misprice the moment, so the slot is recorded with the reading.
Creator holds ~N% of supply
dev-holds-N%alertmedium confidencecaution between 5% and 20% of supply, alert at 20% and above- What it says
- Wallets attributed to the creator currently hold N% of supply. N is the measured value, not a band.
- What fires it
- Shown from 5% of supply. Severity rises to alert at 20% or more.
- How it can be wrong
- Creator attribution is a heuristic: the signer, the first funder or the recorded creator can all be somebody else paying on their behalf. If the wallet is actually a staking or LP contract the figure is overstated.
Bundled buys at launch
bundle-launchcautionmedium confidence- What it says
- Several wallets bought in the same slot at launch and together took a meaningful share of supply.
- What fires it
- At least 5 wallets buying in the launch slot or adjacent slots, together taking 15% of supply or more, with a shared funder or fresh wallets as corroboration.
- How it can be wrong
- Ordinary snipers and MEV bots land in the same slot too, and a slot is only about 400ms wide. This label reports what was observed and does not call anyone a scammer.
Sniper cluster
sniper-clustercautionmedium / low confidence- What it says
- A group of wallets entered within the first few slots after launch and traces back to a shared funder.
- What fires it
- 4 or more wallets buying within the first 5 slots that link to a common funding source.
- How it can be wrong
- Independent bots can cluster by coincidence. Common funding sources such as exchange withdrawals or bundler tip wallets tie unrelated wallets together, so known shared funders are excluded before clustering.
Creator linked to earlier dead tokens
rug-historyalertlow / medium confidence- What it says
- Wallets attributed to this creator are linked to earlier mints whose liquidity went to roughly zero. The linked mints are listed as evidence.
- What fires it
- One or more earlier mints connected to the attributed creator wallets that lost effectively all liquidity, counted and listed.
- How it can be wrong
- The highest of any label here. Shared funding does not prove shared identity: wallets get reused, sold and funded by proxies. What counts as a rug is also partly a matter of interpretation on chain, so this label describes the observation instead of using the word, and stays at low confidence until several independent links agree.
