Token safety checker
Paste any ERC-20 contract and get an instant read: is it a real contract, has ownership been renounced, and a preview risk score with the signals behind it — across all 23 EVM chains. Including the young chains other honeypot checkers never cover — Robinhood Chain, Plasma, Ink and Zircuit — which is exactly where fresh scams launch first.
Building this into an app or agent? The Token Safety API is the same check as a single POST, with the full scoring model and the deep honeypot + holder-concentration signals.
Young-chain coverage
Robinhood, Plasma, Ink, Zircuit, Soneium, BOB, Mode — where new tokens (and new scams) appear before any tool indexes them.
Decisive signals first
Contract check, ownership renouncement and a partial score in one request — the cheap read that catches the obvious ones.
Deep checks on the API
Holder concentration + honeypot simulation + the full score, on a free key or pay-per-call over x402.
What the checker reports
- Symbol & decimals — the token's on-chain identity, read straight from the contract.
- Is a contract — confirms the address holds bytecode — an EOA masquerading as a token is an instant red flag.
- Ownership renounced — whether the owner still controls the contract, plus the owner address when present.
- Risk score & signals — a preview 0–100 score and the reasons behind it, so you know why, not just what.
Token safety — FAQ
What does the token safety checker do?
Paste an ERC-20 contract address and pick a chain. NodeFlare pulls the token's on-chain metadata (symbol, decimals), confirms it's actually a deployed contract, checks whether ownership has been renounced, and returns a preview risk score with the signals behind it. It's a fast first-pass sanity check before you approve or trade a token.
Which chains are supported?
All 23 chains NodeFlare runs nodes for — Ethereum, Base, BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and more, plus the young chains most safety tools skip: Robinhood Chain (4663), Plasma, Ink, Zircuit, Soneium, BOB and Mode. New tokens on new chains are exactly where scams hide and where coverage is thinnest, so that's where this matters most.
Does it detect honeypots and rug pulls?
The free preview surfaces the cheap, decisive signals: is it a real contract, is ownership renounced, and a partial score. True honeypot detection (simulating a buy then a sell to see if you can exit) and holder-concentration analysis (is one wallet holding enough supply to dump on you) require heavier on-chain work — those run through the NodeFlare API on a free key or pay-per-call over x402.
Is ownership renounced always safe?
No. Renounced ownership removes one class of rug (the owner can't change the tax or pause transfers anymore) but it doesn't prevent honeypots baked into the contract, liquidity being pulled, or a whale dumping. Treat the score as a starting point, not a green light — read the signals and do the deep check for anything you're about to fund.
How do I run the full risk score?
POST to the NodeFlare token-safety API with a free API key for higher limits, or pay per call in USDC over x402 with no account. The full response adds holder concentration, honeypot simulation and the complete risk score across all 23 chains. See the Data API page for endpoints and pricing.
Need the full risk score?
Holder concentration, honeypot simulation and the complete score across all 23 chains — on a free API key, or pay-per-call over x402 with no account.
