rug pull scam red flag gate

The problem

Vetting new crypto projects is time-consuming and prone to emotional bias. Investors often miss technical red flags like unlocked liquidity or malicious contract functions until it is too late.

What it does

• Evaluates team transparency by checking for doxxed identities versus anonymous founders.
• Scans tokenomics for suspicious minting, freezing functions, and unfair distribution.
• Verifies liquidity status, including lock durations and third-party locker verification.
• Identifies phishing signals such as suspicious domains and high-pressure social engineering.
• Analyzes community health to distinguish between genuine discussion and coordinated bot shilling.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Manual research often skips critical technical checks like contract permissions or liquidity locking mechanisms. This skill enforces an eight-point security framework that ensures no safety gate is overlooked, providing a standardized risk score instead of a vague opinion.

Use cases

• Perform a mandatory pre-research screen before committing to deep due diligence.
• Quickly triage a new token found on social media or DEX aggregators.
• Validate claims of "locked liquidity" or "audited code" against technical reality.
• Explain specific risk factors to others when recommending against a project.
