How to get a green RugCheck score on your Solana token

RugCheck.xyz is the dashboard most experienced Solana traders glance at before aping in. A red or yellow score makes holders flinch even when your project is legitimate. Here's how to land a clean green.

The signals RugCheck weighs (in order)

1. Mint authority — must be NULL. Single biggest score component.
2. Freeze authority — must be NULL. Same weight as mint.
3. LP locked or burned — needs a real lock (Streamflow, Goki) or a verified LP burn.
4. Top holder concentration — top 1 holder under 20%, top 10 under 60% is ideal.
5. Metadata present and consistent — name, symbol, image, socials all pin and match.
6. Update authority — NULL is best; team-controlled gets a yellow note.
7. Mutable metadata — same axis; immutable metadata raises the score.

Hit signals 1, 2, and 6 at mint time

Use SolanaForge's create flow and tick all three revoke toggles:

• Revoke mint authority ✓
• Revoke freeze authority ✓
• Revoke update authority ✓ (optional — only do this if you're sure about the metadata you pinned)

All three revokes settle in the same transaction as the mint. One signature, permanent. See revoke mint authority explained for what each one actually means.

Hit signal 3 by locking or burning LP

After seeding your Raydium CPMM pool, take the LP token sitting in your wallet and either:

• Lock for 6–12 months via Streamflow. Free, reversible after the term. Recommended for most launches.
• Burn permanently via the SPL Token Burn instruction. Strongest signal, but you can never recover that liquidity. See how to burn Solana tokens.

Either action shows up on RugCheck as "LP secured" within minutes.

Hit signal 4 by airdropping early

Holder concentration is the only signal you can't fix in a single transaction. The way to bring it down is to airdrop small allocations to many wallets in the first 48 hours.

• Airdrop 0.5–1% of supply to ~100 wallets.
• Avoid sending big chunks to a single influencer — that single wallet now sits in the top-10 and tanks your score.

Hit signal 5 by minting with proper metadata

SolanaForge pins metadata to IPFS via Pinata and writes the Metaplex uri in the same transaction as the mint. The image, name, symbol, description and social extensions are all present and resolve from any public gateway.

What you can't do anything about

• Historical bundling — if you funded the launch wallet from a single CEX deposit that also funded other tokens RugCheck flagged, you may get a yellow "bundler" note. Use a fresh wallet funded via Phantom swap, not a CEX, for cleanest history.

Bottom line

Revoke all three authorities at mint, lock or burn LP within an hour, airdrop to ~100 wallets in the first 48 hours, and RugCheck goes green. None of this requires extra cost beyond a clean launch on SolanaForge.
