How to read a RugWard scan
What LOW RISK, CAUTION, HIGH RISK and DANGER mean, and what a scan cannot tell you.

Verdicts
DANGER: at least one critical finding, such as a failed sell in simulation, a sell tax of 50% or more, or a fake copy of a major token. Safe Swap blocks it.
HIGH RISK and CAUTION: several warning signs (owner powers, unlocked liquidity, concentrated holders, unverified behaviour). You can still trade but should understand why.
LOW RISK: nothing serious found right now. That is not a guarantee: projects can still fail or change later.
What a scan cannot see
Off-chain promises, team honesty, future decisions by the owner, and market risk. A token that passes every check can still lose most of its value.
Scans reflect the chain at that moment. Rescan right before you trade.
