Stop Getting Rugged: Glider Token Risk Now Live in CoinStats


What do we all think before buying a new coin? "Am I about to get rekt?" "Where can I check for hidden threats in this smart contract?" And honestly, why do I need to be a blockchain developer just to trade safely?



Valid questions. Terrible answers, until now.



We've all been there. That shiny new token everyone's talking about. The charts look good. The community's buzzing. You ape in. Then your tokens become unsellable. Or the dev mints a trillion more. Or your balance mysteriously drops to zero. Welcome to crypto, where 74,000+ scam tokens were launched in 2024 alone.



Meet Glider Token Risk Scanner



Here's the thing: we're done watching users get rekt by hidden smart contract risks. That's why we've partnered with Hexens, an elite cybersecurity firm, to bring you something different. Their Glider technology doesn't just check boxes; it actually reads and analyzes smart contract logic to spot threats.

Glider doesn’t just skim the surface. It decomposes contract logic, breaking down every function, path, and dependency, to reveal threats that others miss. Think of it as an X-ray for tokens, showing you the bones of a contract before you trade.



What makes this special? In benchmark tests, Glider caught all the critical threats and did not produce false positives in that run. The others missed between 40% and 75% of the same risks. That is the difference between probably checked and actually checked.



What This Scanner Actually Catches



The Glider Token Risk scanner currently detects 22 types of issues. Here are the most common ones with a special translation 😂

Basically, if it smells like a rug, it will get flagged.



How to Scan Before You Trade



Using it is dead simple. Here's your new pre-trade ritual:




Open your CoinStats app



Paste the token address (or name) in the search bar



Navigate to the Risks tab

Education is the first line of defense. Glider Token Risk is not about blind trust in risk scores. It is about clear and actionable insights into the tokens you interact with. Not every low-trust project is a scam, and not every scam looks suspicious. By breaking down and exposing the risks coded into smart contracts, we help you make smarter, safer decisions.



With this integration, CoinStats is no longer only a portfolio tracker. It becomes your education tool, your security guard, and your BS detector, all inside one app.



Ready to scan your first token? The Glider Token Risk is now live on iOS, Android, and Web for all Degen plan users.

The following is a guest post and opinion from  Dr. Jae S. Jeong, Co-Founder and CTO, Gurufin. Today’s stablecoins are an extension of the U.S. financial system. Backed by the U.S. Dollar, they are tied to its monetary policy and indirectly answerable to its policy goals. This allegiance is useful to some, but not all. […]
