Rug pulls are the most common way to lose money on new Robinhood Chain tokens. They take three main forms: the liquidity is pulled from the pool, the sell side is blocked, or a tax is switched on after launch. In each case the buy goes through and the exit does not. Trnch checks tokens in two ways: TIA, the Trnch screening agent, decides which new tokens reach the Heat, and Trnch Tools reads any token address you paste. This page covers what each one looks at, the public risk categories, and how to run a check yourself.
What TIA screens
TIA (Trnch Intelligence Agency) looks at every new token Trnch spots on Robinhood Chain before it can enter the Heat, the live list of new tokens. It uses on-chain data from the whole history of the chain, reads the token contract and its pools, and records one decision per token. Tokens it flags High risk are kept out of the Heat. A token already shown can be removed later if the picture changes.
Kept out means likely to scam its buyers, or launched or funded by wallets behind past rugs and scams. A kept-out token that has not rugged yet can still pay a scam team when you buy it. TIA does not publish how it reaches a decision: no signals, thresholds or wallet lists are public, so scam teams cannot tune their launches around them. What is public is the decision, its time and a general risk category.
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| SCAM_CONTRACT | A contract built to take buyers' funds |
| LINKED_TO_PAST_RUG | A token tied to wallets behind earlier rugs or scams |
| HEAVY_SELL_TAX | Selling costs a large share of the amount |
| CANNOT_SELL | Sells fail or are blocked: a honeypot |
| COORDINATED_LAUNCH | A coordinated launch |
| COPYCAT | A copy of another token's name or ticker |
| LIQUIDITY_PULLED | Liquidity removed from the pool |
| DUMPED | Liquidity left in place, pool drained by sellers |
| OTHER_RISK | A risk outside the categories above |
How to check a token
1. Copy the contract address
Take the token address from the explorer or the project's own links, never from a reply under a post. Copycats reuse the ticker of a trending token with a different address.
2. Paste it in Trnch Tools
Trnch Tools reads the contract and its pools: buy and sell tax, liquidity, holders, a score out of 100 with the findings behind it, and the token's risk status.
3. Read the TIA status
Four answers: in the Heat, kept out, seen (spotted, not in the Heat) or unknown. Kept out comes with a public category. Unknown means Trnch has not seen the token, which is not a pass.
4. Check the exit
Look at the sell tax and whether the liquidity is locked or burned. A token you cannot sell is a trap however good the chart looks.
5. Size for the risk
A check is a snapshot. Some contracts let the deployer switch on a tax later. Check again before a large buy, and only risk what you can lose.
Rug checkers you can use on Robinhood Chain
Not every checker reads Robinhood Chain. The table lists the ones Trnch uses or offers, and what each one returns. They answer different questions, so they work best together.
| Checker | Access | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
| Trnch Tools | Web page, any token address | Score out of 100 with findings, buy and sell tax, liquidity, holders, risk status |
| Trnch Bot API check | GET /api/bot/v1/check, no key | TIA status (kept out, in the Heat, seen, unknown), public category, rugged, dumped |
| Trnch MCP server | trnch_check tool, no key | The same TIA check, for Claude, Cursor and other AI agents |
| Blockscout explorer | Web, Robinhood Chain explorer | Verified contract source, holders, transactions |
| GoPlus Security | Token security API | Contract and holder facts; one of the sources Trnch Tools reads |
What happens when a token is flagged
On the website, the High risk label is a warning, not a lock. From the Heat, the buy button of a flagged token becomes Buy anyway and asks for a second tap, so nobody buys one by accident. Selling stays open. Through the Bot API and the MCP server, Trnch refuses to build a swap into a token TIA keeps out, so a bot or an AI agent cannot buy a known rug through Trnch.
A public record of every decision
Every decision is published in the TIA track record: each token Trnch spotted, what TIA decided and when, and which tokens rugged, read from the chain. Each UTC day is frozen at 00:17 UTC the next day with a SHA-256 hash and a Merkle root, and exported as JSON, JSONL and CSV. The live counts at the top of this page come from the same data.
FAQ
How do I check if a Robinhood Chain token is a rug?
Paste its contract address in Trnch Tools at trnch.fun/tools. You get a score out of 100, the findings behind it, the taxes, the liquidity and the TIA status.
How do I know if a Robinhood Chain token is a honeypot?
A honeypot lets you buy but not sell. Trnch Tools shows the sell tax and the risk status, and TIA files blocked sells under CANNOT_SELL.
Does a locked liquidity mean no risk?
No. It removes one risk. Taxes, minting, holder concentration and the history of the deployer still matter, which is why TIA checks more than the lock.
Can I still buy a token flagged High risk?
On the website, yes: the label is a warning and the buy needs a second tap. Through the Bot API and the MCP server, swaps into kept-out tokens are refused.
Can an AI agent check a token?
Yes. The trnch_check tool on the Trnch MCP server and GET https://trnch.fun/api/bot/v1/check?token=0x... both work without a key.
Does a passed check guarantee anything?
No. A check is a signal based on the contract and its pools at that moment. It removes known traps, not market risk.
