GL1TCH — scan before you buy
A free, open-source token safety scanner for Solana (plus 15 EVM chains). Paste any token
and get a 0–100 risk score with a plain-language reason for every check, in seconds. Read-only:
it never asks for a signature, never touches a wallet, and costs nothing to use.
Why it exists
Most tokens launched on Pump.fun collapse shortly after launch (Solidus Labs counted 98.6% of
7M+ tokens from Jan 2024 to Mar 2025 as pump-and-dumps). The warning signs sit in on-chain
state that buyers can't read: a live mint authority, a freeze authority, a hidden Token-2022
transfer fee, unlocked liquidity, bundled sniper wallets, a deployer with a history of rugs.
GL1TCH reads that state, explains it in plain words, and gives it away for free.
What every Solana scan checks
A token whose volume is botted, or whose holders are mostly one linked network, can't read better than CAUTION,
whatever its contract looks like. The scan also flags a token that has fallen 85% or more from its peak, and paid
DexScreener promotion. EVM chains use GoPlus for honeypot, sell tax, mintable, ownership, pausable and blacklist
checks, plus the same trading-activity check.
Every scan also feeds the Signal Graph, a cross-scan memory of deployers, so a serial
rugger's next token is flagged. Scoring changes are logged in
docs/scoring-changelog.md.
Use it from your own app (free, no key)
Verdicts: CLEAN, LOW RISK, CAUTION, HIGH RISK, RUG-SHAPED, UNKNOWN. The API is rate
limited per IP (40 requests/min), the same for every caller. If you are building an integration
that needs more, ask at [email protected]; it stays free.

How it's built
Mobile Experience & Solana Seeker (Android Prototype)
A working mobile-first Android prototype (mobile/, MIT) built for Solana Seeker and Android devices:
- Share to Scan: Share a token link from Telegram, X, or Pump.fun straight to GL1TCH for an instant verdict before buying.
- Mobile Wallet Adapter (MWA): Connect read-only (Phantom, Solflare, Seed Vault) to inspect all tokens you hold in one tap with zero transaction signatures.
- Sign in with Solana (SIWS): Proof of wallet ownership via message signature (never a transaction).
- 📹 Demo Video (52s, real device): Watch on YouTube
- 📦 Source & Build Steps: See
mobile/README.md.
Run it locally
Requires Node.js 22.
CI type-checks and tests the site and the bot on every push, and a security workflow runs a
secret scan, a dependency audit and a check that no code ever requests a fund-moving or
approval signature.
Security and honesty
- Read-only by design. The scanner and bot never request a transaction signature. See
SECURITY.md to report a vulnerability, and
docs/threat-model.md.
- A verdict is a risk signal, not a guarantee, and never financial advice.
- Verdict anchoring (live on mainnet since 25 Oct 2026): each Rug Radar sweep's verdicts are sealed on Solana as
a Merkle root in one SPL Memo, so anyone can prove a verdict existed at that time, unedited. The memos are
signed by a dedicated fee-only attester wallet, never a user's. Check one in your browser at
https://gl1tchbased.xyz/verify-scan; the spec is
docs/verdict-anchoring.md.
- Public numbers come with their caveats: the scan counter's all-time total includes automated
Rug Radar sweeps; since 20 Oct 2026 people's scans and automated ones are counted separately
(
/api/stats returns user, auto and splitSince, or a 503 while the counter is unreachable,
never a made-up 0). Automated means Rug Radar, Watchtower, link previews, badge renders and our own
pages' self-checks of $GL1TCH. Those self-checks were at first miscounted as people's scans, so the
split restarted once that was fixed (splitSince is the restart).
The $GL1TCH token (disclosure)
The project also has a community token, $GL1TCH
(3HQJwwHvzy8pGkPqGQcb4thZCH88MUCHVVSNtHn6pump), launched on Pump.fun on 29 May 2026:
Token-2022, mint and freeze authority revoked, 0% tax, fixed 1B supply, liquidity in the Pump.fun bonding curve.
- Safety is never token-gated. The scanner, its API, the badge, Rug Radar and Watchtower
are free for everyone. Holding the token only unlocks community ranks and the
verifiable-randomness API.
- Deployer wallet: sold its full position on 2026-08-20, then bought back about 3.1% of
supply on 17–19 Oct 2026. The live balance and both receipts are on the
Proof page.
- The market is very thin. Grant funding is never used for the token, buybacks or liquidity.
