What This Skill Does

The Solana Scam Detector is an essential utility for decentralized finance (DeFi) participants. It acts as a safety layer by performing a comprehensive audit of Solana-based SPL tokens before any capital is deployed. The tool automates the inspection of token metadata, age, and historical blacklist data to identify fraudulent mints or "rug pull" candidates. By focusing purely on read-only operations, it ensures that your private keys and wallet data remain untouched, providing a secure analysis bridge between the blockchain and the user. It systematically scans against known malicious mint addresses and flags suspicious ticker symbols that mimic real-world financial assets.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the ClawHub CLI: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ammkode/solana-scam-detector. Ensure you have the required dependencies by running npm install @solana/web3.js in your local project directory. The skill relies on public RPC nodes by default, requiring no complex API key setup or environment variable configuration to begin, although custom RPC URLs can be provided for faster, more reliable lookups.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for traders and liquidity providers looking to filter out high-risk assets from their portfolio. Use it when:

1. Evaluating new meme coins or low-cap tokens trending on social media.
2. Verifying a token's identity before interacting with a Decentralized Exchange (DEX).
3. Automating your own custom watchlists to filter out tokens created within the last few hours.

Example Prompts

1. "Check if this token mint is safe: [Insert Mint Address] and let me know if it's too new."
2. "Use my custom RPC endpoint https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com to check the safety of the following token symbol: META."
3. "Please run a safety scan on this mint and tell me if it's blacklisted or has a suspicious ticker pattern."

Tips & Limitations

• Read-Only Guarantee: This skill does not store your wallet history, request signatures, or transmit any sensitive information to external servers.
• Limitations: Scam detection is heuristic. While it catches known threats and common patterns, it cannot predict future intent of developers. Always perform your own due diligence.
• Optimization: If you find the default public RPC to be slow, configure a dedicated Solana RPC node to speed up metadata retrieval and transaction history lookups.
