What does a Solana token risk score mean, and is a low score safe?

A Solana token risk score summarises automated checks on a token, and a lower number means lower risk. A low score is not safe in any guaranteed sense. It only says fewer red flags were found at that moment. It cannot see intent, later changes, or off-chain facts, so use it as one input.

How to check it, step by step

1. Know the direction. On MemePump a score of 0 is the lowest risk and higher numbers mean more risk. The score comes from RugCheck analysis of on-chain data, not from a MemePump model.
2. Read the band. 0 to 20 is Good, 21 to 40 is Unknown, 41 to 60 is Risky, 61 to 80 is Dangerous, and above 80 or a rugged token is Scam.
3. Open the warnings. Open the report on /token-check and read the individual warnings. Two tokens with the same score can have very different problems.
4. Check the underlying facts. Confirm authorities, liquidity lock and top holders yourself, on a block explorer and with /tools/solana-token-holders.
5. Decide with your own limits. Treat the score as a screening tool. Even a Good band is not a guarantee, and this is not financial advice.

FAQ

Does a score of 0 mean the token is safe?

No. It means the automated checks found little to flag. Tokens can still lose value, and conditions or contract settings can change after the check.

Why is a band called Unknown?

The 21 to 40 band is labelled Unknown because the checks neither clearly pass nor clearly fail. Look at the individual warnings to see why before drawing conclusions.

How often does the score update?

Reports are cached for a limited time, and a fresh check can show a different score. The report shows when it was checked, so look at that before relying on it.

Informational only. Automated analysis of public on-chain data from third-party sources; it can be incomplete, delayed or wrong. Not financial, investment or legal advice, and a low risk score does not mean a token is safe.
