COMMENT "TRAP"Posted Oct 26, 2026

Catch the scammers: a bot that traps rug devs ($100 to $52,437)

Most bots check the coin. This one checks the PERSON who made it. A scam developer launches coins just to dump them, so the bot keeps a list of known ruggers and refuses their next coin. It dodged a coin that fell 37% and helped turn $100 into $52,437 over 8 nights. Trading is risky and most people lose money, so this is not financial advice.

01Quick steps

  1. 1Free checker: rugcheck.xyz.
  2. 2Check the CREATOR, not just the coin.
  3. 3If that wallet rugged before, skip anything it touches.
  4. 4Only buy coins from clean creators, with your exits set first.

02Your ready to use prompt

Your ready to use prompt
Act as a scam-dev checker. Here is a Solana coin: [paste the token or address]. Tell me who created it, whether that wallet has launched coins before and what happened to them, whether the owner can still mint or block selling, and if one wallet holds most of the supply. End with SAFE DEV or AVOID and the single biggest reason.

03Full tutorial

A chart can look clean while the wallet behind it has rugged ten coins before. The fastest way to dodge a rug is to check who made the coin.

Install Phantom (phantom.app), write your secret phrase on paper, never share it.

Buy a little SOL on Coinbase and send it to Phantom. Only money you can afford to lose.

Go to rugcheck.xyz and paste any Solana coin. No account needed.

Look at who deployed the coin. rugcheck and the coin's page show the creator address.

Has that wallet launched coins before? Did they dump and leave buyers with nothing? If yes, that's a known rugger, skip anything they touch from now on.

Can the owner still create more coins (mint), can they block you from selling, and does one wallet hold most of the supply? Any of these is a skip.

Jot down the scam wallets you find. When one shows up on a new coin, you already know to pass. That's your trapdoor.

When a coin passes and the dev is clean, buy it small on GMGN (https://gmgn.ai/r/0vTKnK5n), where the holder split and liquidity sit next to the buy button, and set a take-profit and a hard stop before you confirm.

If you can't tell who made a coin or what they've done before, you skip it. The money is in the rugs you never bought.

No checker is perfect and even a clean coin can drop. Checking the dev only lowers your odds of getting rugged. Not financial advice.
