Question 1

What is a crypto rug check?

Accepted Answer

A rug check scans a token's on-chain properties for signs of a scam or 'rug pull' — such as an active mint authority (owner can print unlimited supply), an active freeze authority (owner can stop you selling), very low liquidity, extreme holder concentration, or honeypot behaviour. It's a quick risk filter, not a guarantee of safety.

Question 2

Is the CryptoLens rug checker free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste any Solana, Base, BNB Chain or Ethereum token contract address and get an instant risk scan for free, with no signup. Data is sourced from Birdeye and DexScreener.

Question 3

Does a 'lower risk' result mean a token is safe?

Accepted Answer

No. The scan surfaces common risk signals only. A token with no red flags can still lose value or be manipulated. Always do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
