# Rug Pull Checker

GetBlock Rug Pull Checker: AI rug pull detection for smart contracts — score, trust, and flag

Rug Pull Checks is a smart-contract rug-pull risk assessment service. The service analyzes contracts across two independent dimensions and returns an overall risk score.

Two independent analysis blocks:

1. Rug Pull Probability: AI-predictive score (0–100%). Analyzes the behavior of the contract creator and liquidity providers (LPs) based on their on-chain history. Does not analyze contract code.
2. Contract Details: verification of basic contract properties (open source, proxy, self-destruct, withdrawal rights, blacklist). Does not affect the Rug Pull Probability.

{% hint style="warning" %}
These are two independent blocks. Contract Details (green checkmarks) do not affect the Rug Pull Probability. A contract with clean code, but a suspicious creator will receive a high risk score.
{% endhint %}

### Difference Between Rug Pull Checker And Wallet Audit

| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Input            | Smart contract address                             | Wallet address (EOA)                   |
| What it analyzes | Creator behavior + LPs + basic contract properties | On-chain wallet behavior, AML, intent  |
| Primary score    | Rug Pull Probability (0–100%)                      | Predicted Trust (0–100%)               |
| When to use      | Before investing in a contract/pool/token          | Before transacting with a counterparty |

### Difference Between Rug Pull Checker And Risk API (Hexens Glider)

GetBlock also provides the Risk API service, powered by Hexens Glider Token Risks. This is a fundamentally different product; they do not compete but complement each other.

| Key question     | "Can the people behind this contract be trusted?"              | "Is there malicious code in this contract?"                                                                     |

{% hint style="info" %}
Both products complement each other: ChainAware may give a green light to a contract with a clean deployer, but with a honeypot in the code. Hexens may show clean code, but the contract was created by a wallet that previously executed a rug pull. Using the two gives a full picture.

Disclaimer

Rug Pull Check provides automated risk indicators based on publicly available on-chain data. Results are informational in nature and do not constitute investment advice, a security audit, or legal counsel. The predictive model accuracy is 68% — 32% of rug pulls may go undetected. We do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the data. The decision to interact with a contract is made by the user.
{% endhint %}

### Supported Networks

1. Ethereum
2. BNB Smart Chain
3. Base

### How Rug Pull Probability Is Calculated

There are four steps involved, which are:

1. Find the contract creator: It identifies the wallet that deployed the contract and runs it through the Fraud Detector to obtain the creator's Trust Score.
2. Trace the deployment chain: if the contract was deployed by another contract, it follows the chain to the actual wallet. **The obfuscation through the chain itself is a red flag.**
3. Analyze the liquidity providers (LPs): run each LP through the Fraud Detector and obtain the Trust Score for each LP.
4. Generate the Rug Pull Probability: based on the combination of the creator's Trust Score + LP Trust Scores.

#### What increases the risk score:

* New creator address (no history to evaluate)
* Low Trust Score for the creator (behavioral history matches fraud patterns)
* New addresses adding liquidity (classic rug pull pattern)
* Low Trust Score for LPs
* Obfuscated deployment chain (contract deploys contract)

#### What decreases the risk score:

* Creator with a long clean on-chain history
* LPs with high Trust Scores
* Transparent addresses without routing through mixers

> Accuracy: 68%

The algorithm correctly identifies 68 out of 100 rug pulls based on purely behavioral analysis, without code analysis. The 32% miss rate consists of more sophisticated operators who invest in building a legitimate-looking wallet history before executing a rug pull.

{% hint style="danger" %}

#### Limitations

* The service works only with smart contracts. If a regular wallet address (EOA) is submitted, an empty result will be returned. To check wallets, use Wallet Audit.
* Rug Pull Probability does not analyze the contract source code. It evaluates the behavior of the people behind the contract, not the code.
* Data freshness depends on the last ChainAware scan (lastChecked field).
