# DeFade

> DeFade is a multi-chain memecoin analyzer at https://defade.org. Paste a token contract address from Solana, Ethereum, Base, BSC, Robinhood, Arc or Hyperliquid and it returns a rug pull probability score from 0 to 100 plus 35 on-chain forensic modules: holder distribution, launch-bundle detection, sniper bots, insider networks, funding-origin tracing, dev-wallet tracking, smart money and liquidity verification. It runs on the web, as a Chrome extension, as iOS and Android apps, as a Telegram bot (@DeFadeAnalyzerBot) and as an HTTP API. Free tier: 3 scans a day, no card required.

DeFade exists because contract-level rug checkers miss modern rugs. On launchpads like pump.fun every token ships from the same audited factory contract — mint revoked, no taxes, liquidity in the bonding curve — so a contract-only check green-lights almost everything. The risk has moved into wallet behaviour: the deployer holding 40% through six "unrelated" wallets funded from one source, thirty wallets buying in the launch block, a creator whose last four tokens all died inside a day. DeFade scores that layer.

Operated by DeFade Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 17136143.
