Comparison

ScanZX vs RugCheck

The clearest difference between these two is chain focus. RugCheck is best known in the Solana ecosystem; ScanZX runs its deep contract scan on five EVM chains and gives Solana a baseline market scan only. If you are working on Solana, that difference decides the question before any other comparison matters.

What each one is

ScanZX

ScanZX runs a deep EVM contract scan on Ethereum, Base, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum and Polygon, covering contract permissions, sell-path simulation, liquidity, holder concentration, ownership and deployer history.

On Solana it verifies SPL mint and freeze authority when a Solana RPC endpoint is configured, and otherwise runs the baseline market scan — which is stated in the report rather than presented as a full result.

RugCheck

RugCheck is a token risk checker widely used in the Solana ecosystem, known for fast per-token risk summaries covering mint and freeze authority, liquidity and holder distribution.

It is a common first stop for Solana token checks.

Side by side

DimensionScanZXRugCheck
Primary chain focusFive EVM chains for the deep scan. Solana receives mint/freeze authority checks when configured, and a baseline market scan otherwise.Best known for Solana coverage — see their site for the current chain list.
Contract permission checksMint, blacklist, pause, tax setters, proxy upgradeability, hidden owner and ownership-regain routes, with the owner's account type reported.Refer to RugCheck's own documentation for its current check list.
Sell-side testingRead-only sell-path simulation against the canonical V2 router on each supported EVM chain. No wallet, no signature, no transaction.See their site for how sell restrictions are assessed.
Confidence reportingA separate confidence score with an explicit list of unavailable checks, so a thin report is visibly thin.Refer to their documentation.
Community sharingPublic report links with readable URLs, image cards and revocation, plus scheduled monitoring with alerts.Per-token pages on their site.

What ScanZX does not do

  • Score personal wallets or portfolios. The scanner requires contract code at the address and rejects an ordinary wallet address.
  • Audit source code. ScanZX reads contract properties and behaviour; it does not perform a manual security audit and is not a substitute for one.
  • Predict price, or advise on buying or selling anything. There are no recommendations anywhere in the product.
  • Detect intent. It measures whether a harmful action is possible and how concentrated that ability is — never whether anybody plans to take it.
  • Cover every chain. The deep scan runs on five EVM chains; other chains DexScreener lists receive a baseline market scan only, and that is labelled as such.
  • Guarantee that a token is sound. Every report states observed risk, the checks that could not run, and a confidence score for exactly this reason.

Which one fits

RugCheck is likely the better fit when

  • You are working primarily on Solana — that is where RugCheck is strongest and where ScanZX's deep scan does not run.
  • You want a tool the Solana community already reads fluently.
  • Your workflow is entirely within the Solana ecosystem.

ScanZX is likely the better fit when

  • You are working on Ethereum, Base, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum or Polygon, where the deep contract scan runs.
  • You need to publish a shareable, revocable report for a community rather than send a link to a third-party page.
  • You want scheduled re-checks and alerts on material change after the first scan.

Common questions

Does ScanZX support Solana?

Partly, and the report says which part. With a Solana RPC endpoint configured it verifies SPL mint and freeze authority and supply. Without one it runs the baseline market scan and reports the contract-level checks as unavailable. It is not the deep EVM scan and is not presented as one.

Which should I use for a Solana token?

For Solana-specific work, a tool built around Solana is likely to serve you better, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise. ScanZX's strength is the deep EVM scan on its five supported chains.

Do either of these guarantee a token is sound?

No automated tool can. ScanZX reports observed risk signals, the checks it could not run and a confidence score, and it explicitly does not certify tokens.

See for yourself

The most useful comparison is one you run: scan a token you already understand and see whether the report tells you what you expected. Start from the scanner, read the methodology, or check chain coverage first.

Cryptoassets are high risk and you could lose all money used to buy them. ScanZX reports observed warning signs and data gaps at scan time — it never certifies that a token is safe, it is not financial advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy or sell.
