COMMENT "DIG"
Check a coin before you buy (free research bot)
Before you put money in a coin, you want to know if someone can still mess with it and whether you can get out. This free research setup checks any coin for red flags and hands you a plain-English risk grade, the kind of check that saves you from a rug. Trading is risky and most people lose money, so this is not financial advice.
01Quick steps
- 1Easiest free check: rugcheck.xyz.
- 2Or build the same checks into Grok or Claude (prompt below).
- 3Red flags that mean skip: no-sell, owner can mint, one wallet owns most.
- 4If it can't pass, you skip it, every time.
02Your ready to use prompt
Act as a crypto safety checker. Here is a coin: [paste the token address or page]. Check and report in plain English: can the owner still create more coins, can the owner freeze or block selling, is the liquidity real and locked, can I actually sell, and does one wallet hold most of the supply. End with a risk grade (SAFE, RISKY, or LIKELY SCAM) and the single biggest concern.
03Full tutorial
Most coins that go to zero were obvious if you looked. A 30-second check before buying is the cheapest insurance in crypto.
Paste the prompt above into Grok or Claude so you get a full plain-English report on any coin, not just a score.
Can the owner still create more coins (mint), or freeze your ability to sell? If yes to either, that's an automatic skip.
Make sure sells actually go through and the money pool is real and locked. A coin you can't sell is a trap.
If a tiny number of wallets own most of the supply, they can dump on you. Walk away.
If a coin passes every check, buy it small on GMGN (https://gmgn.ai/r/0vTKnK5n), where the holder split and liquidity sit right next to the buy button so you can glance once more before you confirm.
You never have to buy. Missing a coin costs you nothing. Buying a rug costs you everything you put in.
No checker is perfect, and even a clean coin can drop. Checking only lowers your odds of getting rugged. Not financial advice.
