Danger signal

High Sell Fee

Sell fee in the 30-50% range — soft rug, exits are economically unviable.

Analyzer: Swap Activity
Slug: high_sell_fee

What it means

Half the value is taken on exit. At this fee level, the contract is operationally a soft rug: technically possible to sell, economically nonsensical to do so.

Why it matters

30-50% sell fees are rug-equivalent for retail. The fee accrues to the operator's wallet on every sell, so the operator profits even from holders trying to escape.

How RektRadar detects it

Compute the percentage difference between simulated buy proceeds and reverse-simulated sell proceeds. A delta in the 30-50% band means roughly a third to a half of the trade is captured by the contract on every exit.
