FAQ

Is Rug Radar financial advice?​

No. It is an analysis tool.

What chain does Rug Radar support?​

The implementation in this repository is Solana-specific.

Why does the same token sometimes get a different score later?​

Market, liquidity, holder distribution, and contract-status observations can change quickly. Scores are time-dependent snapshots, not permanent labels.

What if data is missing?​

You still get partial output plus source availability notes. Confidence may be lower.

What does confidence mean?​

Confidence is a completeness signal. It reflects how many of the expected upstream sources returned usable data for that run.

Can I use token names instead of addresses?​

Yes for analyze_token and compare_tokens, but addresses are safer. Name lookups rely on search results and choose the most liquid Solana pair match.

How do watch features work?​

  • watch_token stores monitoring rules + a baseline snapshot.
  • get_token_changes compares against the previous snapshot and shows triggered alerts.

Are alerts pushed automatically?​

No. This repository stores watchlists, snapshots, and alerts, but alert evaluation happens when get_token_changes is called.

What storage is required?​

  • analyze_token, scan_risk, analyze_wallet, and compare_tokens can run without Postgres or Redis
  • watch_token and get_token_changes require DATABASE_URL
  • Redis is optional and only improves alert deduplication

Why might a wallet be labeled Bot or Sniper?​

Those labels come from heuristic rules based on trading cadence, early-buy behavior, position sizing, and suspicious patterns. They are descriptive shortcuts, not identity proof.

Should I copy wallets labeled as smart?​

No automatic copying is recommended. Use wallet classification as context, not a trading command.
