How to Check a Crypto Token Before Buying
Go to stablehub.io/check/token, enter the token's name or contract address, and click Check Token. You'll get a Rug Risk Score (0–100) within 60 seconds — along with a plain-English breakdown of five key safety signals. Lower scores mean fewer red flags, but no score is a guarantee. Always do your own research before buying any crypto.
Buying a crypto token without checking it first is like buying a second-hand car without looking under the hood. Most beginners skip this step — and that’s exactly what scammers rely on. This guide walks you through a five-step process to check any token’s safety signals in under five minutes, using StableHub’s free Rug Risk Score tool.
The 5-Step Check
You need either the token's name, ticker symbol, or its contract address. The contract address (a string starting with 0x…) is the most accurate identifier — multiple tokens can share the same name. Find it on CoinGecko, Etherscan, or the project's official website.
Go to stablehub.io/check/token. Type the token name in the search box, or paste the full contract address. Click Check Token →. The tool fetches live data from CoinGecko and Etherscan — no account or wallet connection needed.

Your score appears as a number from 0 to 100, with a colour-coded risk label. LOW (0–30) means few red flags detected. MEDIUM (31–60) means some caution signals. HIGH (61–85) means significant warnings. CRITICAL (86–100) means multiple serious red flags — extreme caution required.
Below the score, you'll see a table of five signals — the factors that contributed to the score. Each one is either a pass (✓) or a fail (✗), with a plain-English explanation. Pay close attention to: contract verification status (unverified = big warning), top holder concentration (one wallet holding 50%+ is dangerous), and liquidity (under $10K makes exit nearly impossible).
The Rug Risk Score is one input — not a verdict. A score of 20/100 doesn't mean "safe to buy." It means the on-chain data StableHub can access showed few red flags at that moment. Use this alongside your own research: read the project's whitepaper, check the team's identity, and never invest more than you can afford to lose completely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The rug checker is completely free. No account, no wallet connection, no payment required. You can check as many tokens as you like.
A rug pull is when a crypto project’s developers abandon the project and take investor funds. They typically drain the liquidity pool overnight, leaving token holders with coins they can no longer sell.
No. A low Rug Risk Score means fewer on-chain red flags were found in the data available at that moment. It is not a guarantee the token will increase in value or that it won’t be abandoned. Always do your own research before buying.
StableHub currently checks tokens on Ethereum and BNB Chain. More chains are on the roadmap — see the Changelog for updates.
Yes. Paste the full contract address (starting with 0x) directly into the search box. This is more precise than searching by name — multiple tokens can share the same name, but each has a unique contract address.
