How to Avoid a Rug Pull on Solana Meme Coins: 7 Checks Before You Press Buy
Run seven checks before you put $SOL into a Solana meme coin. Banana Gun runs the pre-trade sell check by default and adds Anti-Rug protection. Its buy menu shows liquidity and tax.
Read holder share and token age in your chart tool before you paste.
Why a name proves nothing
On-chain data, 2 Nov 2026: two different tokens were both named American Oil Dividend Fund (AODF), created 1 Nov at 00:59 and 13:22 UTC. Each did over $2M in 24h volume, and each is down 99.99% with a market cap under $5K.
Searching by name fails here, because a name cannot tell you which of the two you are buying.
The seven checks
1. Paste the contract address and never search by name.
2. Read the liquidity in $SOL in the Banana Gun buy menu.
3. Check the top-10 holder share. On-chain data, 2 Nov 2026: CRIME had 50.35% in its top 10 holders, Anakin had 18.09%.
4. Read the tax in the buy menu as soon as you paste.
5. Check the token age in your chart tool.
6. Let the pre-trade sell check run. It blocks tokens you cannot sell and runs before the buy.
7. Know what Anti-Rug covers: a documented 80 to 85 percent success rate, on the scenarios it targets only.
Sell check vs rug check
A token you can sell today can still have its liquidity pulled tomorrow. The sell check covers the first case, and Anti-Rug covers only the scenarios it targets.
Once the buy shows under /positions in Banana Gun, tap Setup Sell Limit Order and set a Stop Loss.
Which of the seven do you skip most often?
