Check a coin

Spot the rug before it's pulled.

We check every new Solana memecoin for the tricks used to take buyers' money, and show you what we find. Free, and you never connect a wallet.

Prices update every 10 seconds. Safety checks run again every 10 minutes.

What happened after we flagged them

Every coin we graded E or F in the last 7 days, and how its price has moved since the moment we flagged it. Updated every minute, never edited.

Copycat watch

Tokens sharing a name with an older token. The first one listed came first. Make sure you hold the one you meant to buy.

Still standing

Coins at least a day old that are still trading with real volume. A record, not a recommendation.

A 32-page field guide to the Solana memecoin market, written in plain English for people who are new to it. It explains who makes money from a launch, what every field on the main tools means, how each rug pattern shows up on-chain and how early you can see it. It also covers the pre-trade routine, sizing, exits, Jupiter trigger orders, wallet safety and UK tax.

Questions

All questions
Is Before It Rugs free?

Yes. The live board, every coin's grade and evidence, the survivors leaderboard and all the guides in our Learn section are free, with no account needed.

Why don't you ask me to connect a wallet?

Because we don't need it. Every check uses public on-chain data, so there is nothing a wallet connection would add. We will never ask you to connect a wallet, sign anything or share a seed phrase, and anyone who does is not us. See wallet safety.

Where does your data come from?

Token safety reports come from RugCheck. Market data such as price, liquidity, volume, buys and sells comes from DexScreener. We find new coins through DexScreener's public feeds and GeckoTerminal's new and trending pools. The full method explains how each one is used.

How often does the board update?

Market data refreshes every 10 seconds. Safety checks re-run every 10 minutes for each coin, and can take a little longer when RugCheck's rate limits are reached.

Are you affiliated with DexScreener, pump.fun, Jupiter or RugCheck?

No. We are an independent UK-run site. We use public data from RugCheck, DexScreener and GeckoTerminal, and we write guides about tools like pump.fun and Jupiter, but none of them review, approve or pay for anything we publish.

Is my data collected?

As little as possible. You can use the site without an account, and we never ask for wallet details. If you sign up for alerts we keep only what is needed to send them. Our privacy notice sets out exactly what we hold and why.

How grades work

Every check uses public on-chain data. A grade is a risk signal, never a prediction or a recommendation. Full methodology

Bundled walletsSeveral top wallets holding the same-size bag, usually bought together at launch by one team.
Insider networksWallets funded from the same source, acting as one holder spread across many addresses.
Supply concentrationHow much the biggest wallets own, not counting the liquidity pool and lockers.
Liquidity lockWhether whoever added the liquidity can still pull it.
Dev history and holdingsWhether the creator has rugged before, and how much they still hold.
Token traps and copycatsMint or freeze powers that stop you selling, and look-alike names.
