Venues / RugCheck

Is RugCheck legit?

The checklist

Custody: who holds your money

Analytics only; RugCheck does not hold user funds. Its TRADE buttons open FluxBeam or the FluxBeam Telegram bot.

Who backs RugCheck

• Solana Foundation (grant to FluxBeam, the team that built RugCheck; amount not disclosed) (2023) source

Incidents

No reported hacks, exploits or frozen withdrawals in the sources we checked.

Real downsides

• Solana only.
• Projects can pay for a Verified badge (150 USDC), which proves creator identity, not token quality.
• The free API serves cached reports; fresh reports need a paid plan.
• The TRADE buttons send you to FluxBeam/FluxBot, which are partner venues.

Can you use it where you live?

No country restrictions are stated in the pages reviewed; RugCheck's own terms page is a client-rendered app page and could not be read, so regional availability is left unconfirmed. (source)

We report what the venue's own terms say. Don't use a VPN to get around restrictions; venues can freeze accounts that do.

How to use RugCheck without getting scammed

• Only open rugcheck.xyz — fake lookalike sites and "support" DMs are the most common way people lose funds on any trading venue.
• Never share a seed phrase or private key. No real support agent will ask for one.
• A referral code only changes your fee and who gets a share of it. It never needs your keys.
• Treat every new memecoin as able to go to zero. A legit venue does not make the coins on it safe.
