Memecoin screening
Memecoin screening is a sequence of reject checks on a pair you already found. The agent looks for mint and freeze authority, liquidity control, taxes, holder concentration, and unverified code. A pair that survives is not a buy. It is a candidate for a second question: is there a product you can actually use?

Memecoin screening FAQ
Does passing a rug screen mean the token is safe?
No. A screen reduces a few mechanical ways you get stuck or diluted. It says nothing about whether anyone will buy the token after you do, or whether the social accounts are a costume.
What is a verified product in this category?
Something you can open and use without trusting the chart: a contract you can read or that is verified in a block explorer, a function you can name, and a user other than the deployer. A slogan is not a product.
Why are these pages biased toward rejection?
Most new pairs fail a basic control check. The expensive error is talking yourself into an exception. The playbooks make the agent list reject reasons before it lists anything interesting.
