Cabal-Hunter vs rugcheck vs GoPlus

An honest comparison of what each Solana token safety tool actually detects — and the coordinated wallet attacks that standard tools completely miss.

⚠️ Real example — caught by Cabal-Hunter, missed by everyone else

A token last week scored 8/8 on rugcheck.xyz — LP burned, contract clean, no honeypot. GoPlus: all green. Standard tools saw nothing wrong.

Cabal-Hunter traced the top 20 holders and found 6 wallets all funded from the same source, 47 seconds before the first trade. The token rugged 3 hours later. See the on-chain proof →

The Fundamental Difference

rugcheck.xyz and GoPlus audit contract code

They answer: "Is this smart contract malicious?" They check mint authority, freeze authority, LP lock status, honeypot code patterns. All valid. But contract code doesn't rug you.

Cabal-Hunter audits wallet behaviour

It answers: "Are multiple wallets being coordinated by a single actor to control this token?" A token can have a perfectly clean contract, burned LP, and no honeypot — and still be set up for a coordinated dump by 15 wallets funded from the same master wallet 60 seconds before launch. That's the threat no contract scanner sees.
