Honest comparison

Contract safety, coordination and deployer history. In one call.

There are good Solana-safety tools out there, and most are strongest in one area. Cabal-Hunter puts contract safety, wallet-graph coordination and deployer history into one verdict your bot can act on.

The whole field, one table

We are not going to pretend we invented this

RugCheck is a genuinely good tool and covers a lot of the same ground β€” contract checks, LP lockers, insider networks, a risk score. If it does what you need, use it. We mean that.

The difference is what it costs to run inside a bot, and how many calls it takes. One call returns the whole verdict β€” contract safety, coordination and deployer history, fused into a single are-you-exit-liquidity answer your agent can act on. $9/month, no account, MCP or REST.

What each band did next β†’

Why the gaps exist

The field splits into two camps

They overlap less than you might expect.

Camp 1

Contract-checkers

GoPlus, RugCheck, the free MCP checkers. Strongest on the token itself β€” honeypot, mint/freeze, LP. RugCheck also maps insider networks from token transfers. Neither GoPlus nor RugCheck documents funding-source tracing or same-block dump detection.

Camp 2

Cluster visualisers

Bubblemaps. The mirror image β€” it owns the map. Its API documents holders, transfers, wallet clusters and a decentralisation score, with no contract-safety checks and no deployer history. It draws the map; you interpret it.

Cabal-Hunter is the bridge. It covers both camps and turns them into a single "are you exit liquidity?" verdict β€” with the evidence β€” that a bot can act on in one call.
Head to head

How we differ, tool by tool

We respect all of these. Here's exactly where we add what they don't.

vs Bubblemaps

Best-in-class wallet-cluster visualisation. It's genuinely great.

We add: a verdict a bot can gate on (not a map for a human to read), plus contract-safety checks and deployer launch history that its API does not document β€” MCP-native, with a free tier.

vs GoPlus

A large multi-chain contract-security API. Excellent for honeypot and authority checks.

We add: the wallet graph its API does not document β€” who funded the holders, who bundled the launch, who sold together in the same block β€” fused with the contract check into one Solana-native verdict.

vs RugCheck

A widely used Solana token-safety scanner with a free API. Solid holder and authority data.

We add: funding-source tracing, same-block bundles and same-block coordinated dumps, with the transactions behind each wallet cluster in evidence_txs β€” built for an agent to call, not a human to browse.

vs Solana Tracker

A broad token data API with a risk score and bundler, sniper and insider data. Great if you need everything.

We add: funding-source clusters with their proof transactions, and the deployer's launch history β€” delivered as an MCP tool with a zero-signup free tier, not one field in a bulk feed.

vs Free MCPs

Free, MCP-native Solana honeypot/rug checkers. Good for the contract basics.

We add: the coordination layer β€” funding clusters, same-block bundles, coordinated dumps and deployer history β€” the difference between "is the contract safe" and "who's on the other side of this trade."

The honest caveat

We're not the deepest at any single row β€” Bubblemaps draws a richer map, GoPlus has a bigger security DB.

Our edge is the fusion: one pre-trade verdict that combines all three bands, agent-native, with the evidence attached. That is the space we occupy.
