Question 1

How do I check if a Solana token is safe before buying?

Accepted Answer

Paste its mint address here and read what the chain says: whether more can be minted, whether holders can be frozen, whether the name can be changed, and who holds the supply. If the top few wallets own most of it, or the authorities are still open, weigh that before you buy.

Question 2

What is a rug pull, and does this detect it?

Accepted Answer

A rug pull is a creator draining value — usually by pulling pool liquidity or dumping a hidden supply. No tool can promise a token is safe, but the certificate surfaces the levers a rug needs: open mint authority, concentrated holders, and liquidity that was never burned or locked.

Question 3

What is a honeypot token?

Accepted Answer

A token you can buy but not sell. On Solana the usual levers are an active freeze authority — the creator freezes your account after you buy — or extreme Token-2022 transfer fees. Both are visible here: 'unfreezable' removes the main honeypot lever, and no scanner can promise more than that honestly.

Question 4

Can a creator pay to improve their certificate?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no submission, no review, no badge for sale. The page is a live read of the chain at the moment you load it — the only way to improve a certificate is to actually strike the hallmarks.

Question 5

Does it work for tokens not created at the forge?

Accepted Answer

Yes — any SPL or Token-2022 mint on Solana. Paste the address of anything you are about to buy; the chain answers for every token equally.
