A screening site for Solana tokens that reports the things a buyer is supposed to check before buying — mint and freeze authority, liquidity status, top holders, a risk score — and the verb it produced: to 'rugcheck' a coin is to run its address through the site or one like it. A green score became a marketing asset. It describes what a contract can do, not what its owner will.
A launch announcement in 2024 attaching a screenshot of a 'Good' rating as proof of legitimacy. The coin's developer sold the following morning. The rating was still 'Good' that evening, because the contract had not changed.
The site scores a contract's structure. It cannot see a developer's intentions, a marketing budget or the group chat where the exit is being planned. Its own disclaimers say as much. The verb is used as if it could.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
