How ApeCheck works
Paste any Solana contract address and ApeCheck pulls live on-chain and market data, runs it through a set of rug-pull checks, and gives you one 0–100 risk score in seconds. Here's exactly what goes into it.
The checks
Mint authority
−25 if activeIf the mint authority is still active, the developer can create new tokens out of thin air and dilute your bag. Revoked = fixed supply. This is one of the biggest rug signals.
Freeze authority
−20 if activeAn active freeze authority lets the deployer freeze token accounts — meaning they can stop you from selling. Revoked is what you want to see.
Liquidity lock
up to −15The share of the liquidity pool that is locked or burned. If the LP isn't locked, the dev can pull all the liquidity and the price goes to zero instantly.
Holder concentration
up to −15How much of the supply the top 10 wallets hold. High concentration means a handful of wallets can dump on everyone else.
Liquidity depth
up to −15Thin liquidity means a single sell can crater the chart. Under $5k is a serious red flag.
Dev rap sheet
up to −20We pull every token the deployer wallet launched before and check how many are dead. A dev whose previous launches are almost all dead shows a serial-rug pattern.
The score
Every token starts at 100 and loses points for each risk found. The final number maps to a verdict:
Core checks pass. Still DYOR.
Some yellow flags. Size accordingly.
Multiple red flags stacked.
Degens only. Assume the worst.
Important: ApeCheck reports verifiable on-chain and market facts to help you assess risk. A high score is not a guarantee of safety and a low score is not an accusation — memecoins are extremely risky and any token can lose all its value. This is information, not financial advice. Always do your own research.
