Is Gukesh D. 18th World Champion ($Gukesh18) a rug pull?

As of the latest on-chain check, Gukesh D. 18th World Champion scored 34/100 on SolFoundry's rug check — Danger · likely rug. The score is based on mint authority, freeze authority, metadata authority, holder concentration (including a separate penalty if one wallet alone holds a large share), and trading pattern, minus penalties for risky Token-2022 extensions (permanent delegate, transfer hook, pause, transfer fee) and for a pool whose liquidity can still be withdrawn. It also subtracts points for a shallow pool (under $15,000 of liquidity, most under $2,000). Linked top holders (wallets first funded by the same source) and a ticker-squatting cross-check are shown as unscored context. A safety score is not financial advice; always do your own research before buying.

How can I verify $Gukesh18 myself?

Open the token on Solscan and DexScreener: confirm mint and freeze authority are revoked, check that the top 10 holders do not dominate supply (and that no single wallet holds an outsized share on its own), watch for 24h volume that dwarfs the market cap (a pump-and-dump signature), search the token's symbol for other tokens sharing the same name (ticker squatting), check a Token-2022 mint's extensions for a permanent delegate, transfer hook or transfer fee, and confirm liquidity is locked or burned. SolFoundry Rug Check runs these checks automatically and refreshes on each visit.

Red flagHow much the top 10 wallets hold

Top 10 humans hold 48.0%, heavily concentrated (18.7% is held by pools, program vaults, or burn addresses and excluded from this score). One wallet alone holds 43.9%. That's a sharper dump risk than the top-10 sum alone suggests, scored as an extra penalty below.

Why it matters: If a few wallets hold most of the supply, they can crash the price by selling. Locked liquidity and burned tokens are left out, so this reads the human holders.

Concentration penalty

-15

Red flagExtra points off for heavy top-10 concentration

Subtracted from the total score for the top-10 concentration in Top holders distribution. Aggregate concentration this high keeps hurting the score beyond the flag's own points.

Single-holder penalty

-21

Red flagExtra points off for one dominant wallet

Subtracted for the single largest wallet in Top holders distribution. The part of that risk that doesn't fit in the distribution flag's own points comes off the total here.

Metadata authority

+0/10

CautionCan the name and image be changed?

Active (TSLvdd…). Token can be renamed or rebranded.

Why it matters: With metadata authority the creator can rename or rebrand the token after you buy, a common way to impersonate another project.

Linked wallets

CautionWere top holders funded by the same wallet?

7 of the top 9 holders, together 3.5% of supply, trace back to the same funding wallet (xv4t…xSiL). Wallets funded from one source are often run by one person, so the holder spread may be narrower than it looks. Not scored: shared funding is a strong hint, not proof.

Why it matters: We trace who first funded each top holder. Several holders funded from one source usually means one person spread the supply across wallets to look distributed.

Passed checks

Revoked. Supply is fixed forever.

Why it matters: An open mint authority lets the creator print new supply at any time, diluting every holder. Revoked means the supply is fixed for good.

Revoked. Wallets cannot be frozen.

Why it matters: A freeze authority can lock any wallet's tokens so they can't be sold. Revoked means no one can stop you from selling.

Classic SPL token. Token-2022 extensions (permanent delegate, transfer hook, transfer fee, pause) cannot exist on it.

Why it matters: Token-2022 mints can carry a permanent delegate, a transfer hook, a pause switch or a transfer fee. Each is a lever over holders that the mint and freeze checks never see.

24h volume is 0.6% of market cap on a 16571.0h old pool, in line with organic trading.

Why it matters: 24h volume is weighed against market cap and pool age. Extreme turnover followed by a sharp price drop is the shape of a pump-and-dump.

Pool depth: $15,593 on pumpswap. 100% LP Burned, read on-chain: the pool's liquidity cannot be withdrawn.

Why it matters: Burned or permanently locked LP can't be withdrawn. If whoever holds the LP can pull it, holders are left with nothing to sell into: the classic rug.

Want to launch a token without these red flags?

SolFoundry revokes mint and freeze authority at launch, and metadata authority too if you choose. Liquidity is a separate step: you create a Meteora or Raydium pool and lock it permanently, a lock the check above reads on-chain. Holder distribution still depends on your tokenomics.

Early Supporter perk: zero platform fee on your first launch. Network fees still apply.
