RMI Platform — Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is Rug Munch Intelligence (RMI)? A unified crypto intelligence platform with 270+ tools for token security, wallet forensics, whale tracking, market data, and blockchain queries. Free tools available, paid tools via x402 micropayments.

How many tools are free? Every paid tool includes 1-5 free trial calls. Connecting a wallet unlocks full trial allotment (3-5 for basic tools, 1-2 for premium). Bots without wallets get 1 trial per tool via fingerprint.

What chains are supported? Solana, Ethereum, Base, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Fantom, Gnosis, TRON, Bitcoin (12 payment chains, 38 data chains).

Pricing & Payments

How does x402 pricing work? You pay per tool call in USDC. Prices range from $0.01 (basic lookups) to $0.25 (institutional forensics). Payment happens automatically via the x402 protocol — no accounts, no subscriptions, no prepayment.

Which chains can I pay on? Base, Solana, Ethereum, BSC, TRON, Bitcoin, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Fantom, Gnosis. Plus EUR/SEPA via AsterPay for European users.

What if a paid tool returns no data? Full automatic refund within 48 hours. You're never charged for empty results.

Do free trials reset? Yes — every 24 hours. Fingerprint gating ensures fair usage:

  • Humans (wallet connected): Full trial allotment (3-5 for basic, 1-2 for premium)
  • Bots (device fingerprint): 1 trial per tool, then payment required
  • IP-only: 1 trial max, then payment required

DataBus

What is DataBus? The single data pipeline powering all 270+ tools. 38 data chains, 67 providers, automatic failover. You never need to specify which provider to use — just request the data type and DataBus handles the rest.

What happens when a source fails? DataBus automatically tries the next provider in the chain. Token prices try: local cache → Jupiter → DexScreener → Binance → CoinGecko. You always get data.
