| Scam | What it looks like | The check |
|---|---|---|
| Fake contract address | Same name and ticker as the coin everyone is talking about, a different CA | Copy the CA from the project's own post or a terminal, never search the ticker |
| Bundled launch | Many holders, rising chart; one person holds a third through fresh wallets | Bundle share and the bubble map |
| Serial dev | A fresh coin from a creator who launched forty this week | Dev history |
| Honeypot | You can buy but not sell | Freeze authority: honeypot checker |
| Wallet drainer | A site asks you to connect and sign to claim an airdrop | Never sign on a site you reached from a DM or a reply |
| Paid callers | An account calls a coin it bought minutes earlier | Their wallet's timing: KOL tracker |
| Fake support / recovery | Someone in your DMs offers to recover funds or fix a wallet | Real support never DMs first and never asks for a seed phrase |
Three rules that stop most of them
- Never share your seed phrase or private key, with anyone, for any reason.
- Buy by contract address from a source you trust, never by ticker.
- Run the rug check before every buy; it takes seconds.
The rug check
Every coin carries a safety read that answers "is this a rug?" in one number, with the reasons under it: mint and freeze authority, whether liquidity is locked or pulled, the dev's past launches (serial launchers are flagged), bundle and sniper share, top-holder concentration and whether the dev sold. A bubble map draws the wallets that are linked by funding so a coin held by one person through twenty wallets looks like it. A coin can pass the rug check and still go to zero: the check is about the setup, not the chart.
The BLIX community
Every account comes with the BLIX Discord: the people trading on the terminal, the narratives as they form, feature drops before they are announced, and the team answering questions. Join the Discord once you have signed up.
Check a coin before you buy
Memecoins are extremely risky and most go to zero. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
Frequently asked questions
How do I avoid meme coin scams?
Buy by contract address, check the dev, bundles and authorities before buying, never sign transactions on sites from DMs, and never share a seed phrase.
What is a wallet drainer?
A malicious site or transaction that, once you sign it, moves your tokens and SOL to the attacker.
Can I get money back from a rug pull?
Almost never. Anyone offering to recover it for a fee is running a second scam.
