I got rug pulled. More than once, and for more than I'd like to write down — hundreds of dollars into pumps that were already dumps by the time I hit buy.
This doesn't get that back. But I could build the opposite of the thing that took it: a coin where every way out is closed before launch, and you check it yourself instead of trusting me.
That's the joke. It's also the point.

Paste any contract address into Rugcheck or Solscan. Three things tell you most of what you need, and it takes about thirty seconds.
Mint and freeze should both read revoked. Live mint means they can print more. Live freeze means they can stop you selling while they sell.
Burned or locked means the pool can't be pulled. Sitting in the deployer's wallet means it can vanish in one transaction, usually at 3am.
If ten wallets hold most of the supply, you're the exit. Check whether they were funded from the same place in the same block.
None of this makes anything safe. Plenty of tokens pass every check and still go to zero. It just means you lost to the market instead of to a guy with a keyboard.
Make the trick harder to run.
Every rug works the same way — someone knows something you don't, for about ninety seconds. Close that gap and most of it stops working.
