NEAR Rug Check
♥ Support

Check a NEAR token before it checks out on you.

Paste any token, NFT or launchpad contract. It checks who can delete or change it, whether money has been pulled out, where that money went, and whether you can get anything back. Free, read-only, and no wallet connection.

How NEAR rugs work

On NEAR, your wallet doesn't hold tokens or NFTs. Each token is its own contract account, and your balance is just a line in that contract's storage. Whoever controls the contract controls those lines.

1Delete the contract

With a full-access key, the owner can delete the account. Every balance and NFT disappears with it, and wallets can't show them any more. NEAR blocks deleting contracts that hold a lot of data, so ruggers often wipe the data first.

2Swap the code

An upgradeable contract can get new code that zeroes balances, blocks transfers or moves NFTs to the dev. Watch for exports like upgrade, migrate or set_code.

3Drain the pot

Launchpads and bonding curves hold everyone's NEAR in one contract. An owner-only emergency_withdraw can empty it, and then every sell fails with "Exceeded the account balance".

4Pull liquidity or dump

If the dev owns the pool's LP shares or a big chunk of supply, they can pull the pool or dump on buyers. The contract never has to change.

Before you buy: 60-second checklist

Watch out for "recovery" scams. After a rug, fake support accounts and "fund recovery" services DM victims. No one can reverse a NEAR transaction. Never share your seed phrase or private key, and never sign a transaction from a link someone sends you.

Keep this tool free

NEAR Rug Check is free, has no ads, and will never ask you to connect a wallet. Donations pay for the server and better data, and they fund new checks like live rug alerts, more launchpads and a Telegram bot.
