Research direction

This is a moderation and impersonation dispute about a published listing, not a code change, and the payload names no files, tests or entry points. A newcomer cannot finish it by editing the repository. It needs a registry maintainer to review the listing and decide on removal under the project's dispute process. Done means a maintainer has ruled on the report, not that a patch has merged.

Description

Impersonation report

Hi team, I need to report a listing that appears to impersonate an existing product published in this registry.

Our product (prior use):

  • RugRadar, a free token-safety / honeypot checker, live at https://rugradar-dun.vercel.app
  • Publicly launched 12 Oct 2026 (launch post: https://x.com/The_Real_EJC/status/2109675509726450112)
  • Registered in this registry since 6 Oct 2026 as io.github.Darkjay123/rugradar v1.0.0 (we marked that version deleted today while consolidating into an ownership-verified domain namespace; publish timestamp visible in registry history)
  • Canonical entry now: app.vercel.rugradar-dun/rugradar-mcp (status: active, ownership verified via the HTTP challenge on rugradar-dun.vercel.app)

The listing at issue:

Why we believe this is impersonation: the name ("RugRadar"), title, and product description ("rug-pull, token-safety and honeypot risk checks") closely mirror our product and wording, and the listing was published after both our 6 Oct registry registration and our 12 Oct public launch, pointing at an unrelated endpoint and repository, and monetizing per call. To anyone (or any agent) browsing the registry, this entry reads as our product. It is not.

Request: could the maintainers review io.github.jimmybr-PDX/rugradar for impersonation and remove it, or advise the correct process for this kind of dispute? Happy to provide any additional evidence (launch archives, registry history timestamps).

Thanks.
