3. Risk Score System
3.1 Understanding Risk Scores
Every flagged coin has a risk score from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater danger:
| Score Range | Severity | Icon | What It Means |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70 – 100 | High Risk | 💀 | Strong evidence of rug pull or active scam |
| 40 – 69 | Suspicious | ⚠️ | Multiple red flags, exercise extreme caution |
| Below 40 | Reported | 🚩 | Community-reported concern, verify independently |
3.2 How Scores Are Calculated
Risk scores are determined by:
- Number and severity of red flags detected
- Liquidity patterns (sudden removal, locked status)
- Contract permissions (mint authority, freeze authority)
- Token age and holder distribution
- Trading behavior patterns (wash trading, honeypot indicators)
4. Red Flags Explained
The registry tracks these common warning signs:
| Red Flag | Description |
|---|---|
| Hidden Mint | Contract can create new tokens without public notice |
| Unlocked Liquidity | Developers can remove liquidity at any time |
| High Tax | Buy/sell taxes above 10% that drain trader funds |
| Ownership Not Renounced | Developers retain admin control of the contract |
| Selling Restrictions | Code prevents or limits the ability to sell tokens |
| Whale Concentration | A few wallets hold most of the supply |
| No Audit | Contract has not been independently reviewed |
| Honeypot | Tokens can be bought but not sold |
5. Searching the Registry
5.1 Live DexScreener Search
The search bar performs a live search against DexScreener's database in real time:
- Type in the search bar: Enter any coin name (e.g., "DOGE", "PEPE") or contract address
- See live results: A dropdown shows matching tokens from DexScreener
- Select a coin: Click any result to fill the search field
- Registry check: If the coin is in our registry, its full entry appears below
5.2 Chain Filter
Filter the registry by blockchain:
- Click the chain dropdown (defaults to "All Chains")

5.3 Interpreting Results
If a coin appears in the registry:
- You'll see its risk score, severity icon, and all recorded red flags
- Links to DexScreener and Solscan/Etherscan let you verify independently
If a coin is NOT in the registry:
- It has not been flagged yet — this does not mean it is safe
- Always do your own research before investing
6. Auto-Population from Gameplay

- Community moderators review flagged submissions
8. Using the Registry for Research
8.1 Before Buying Any Token
Recommended research workflow:
- Search the Known Rug Pull Registry first
- Check independent audit platforms (Token Sniffer, RugCheck, SolSniffer)
- Verify contract permissions on Solscan or Etherscan
- Review the token's social channels and whitepaper
- Check holder distribution and liquidity lock status
8.2 Red Flags to Watch Independently
Beyond the registry, watch for these signs:
- Anonymous team with no verifiable background
- Unrealistic promises ("1000x guaranteed")
- Copycat names of popular tokens
- Pressure to buy immediately before "price explodes"
- Liquidity that is not locked or is locked for a very short time
