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.
Marked from each tool's public API documentation and our own calls to it, 15 Sep 2026 (DeFade: 17 Sep 2026). A tool's web app can show more than its API documents.

RugCheck is a genuinely good tool and covers a lot of the same ground — 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 — 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.
They overlap less than you might expect.
GoPlus, RugCheck, the free MCP checkers. Strongest on the token itself — 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.
DeFade. The closest to us — bundles, funding origin, deployer reputation and a 0–100 rug score, across Solana, Ethereum, Base and Robinhood Chain. Most of the deep checks sit behind the $19 Pro plan, and its API documents no transaction evidence.
We respect all of these. Here's exactly where we add what they don't.
The closest tool to ours: a 0–100 rug score, 31 modules, apps, a Telegram bot and an MCP connector, across four chains.
We add: one chain, done in depth. 250 free scans a month against 3 a day, $9 against $19, a dump watch that checks every 15 seconds against every 5 minutes, and the transactions behind each wallet cluster in evidence_txs.
A large multi-chain contract-security API. Excellent for honeypot and authority checks.
We add: the wallet graph its API does not document — who funded the holders, who bundled the launch, who sold together in the same block — fused with the contract check into one Solana-native verdict.
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 — built for an agent to call, not a human to browse.
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 — delivered as an MCP tool with a zero-signup free tier, not one field in a bulk feed.
Free, MCP-native Solana honeypot/rug checkers. Good for the contract basics.
We add: the coordination layer — funding clusters, same-block bundles, coordinated dumps and deployer history — the difference between "is the contract safe" and "who's on the other side of this trade."
We're not the deepest at any single row — DeFade runs more modules, 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.
