> Ethereum rug checker

> What this tool checks:

> Our scanner queries the Ethereum blockchain in real time to analyze the token's contract and on-chain behavior. Every check is performed live — results reflect the current state of the chain.

> 9 Safety Indicators:

> 1. Honeypot Detection — tests whether buyers can actually sell the token. A honeypot contract allows buys but blocks all sell transactions. This is the most dangerous rug pull mechanism on Ethereum.

> 2. Mint Authority — whether the contract owner can create new tokens. A renounced mint means the total supply is fixed and cannot be inflated.

> 3. Freeze Authority — whether the contract owner can freeze token transfers. An active freeze authority means holders could be prevented from selling.

> 4. Liquidity Lock — checks if the liquidity pool tokens are locked in a timelock or vesting contract, preventing the developer from pulling liquidity immediately.

> 5. LP Burn — verifies if liquidity pool tokens have been sent to a dead address. Burned LP makes a rug pull mathematically impossible for that pool.

> 6. Buy / Sell Tax — measures the tax rate applied to buy and sell transactions. High taxes (>5%) are frequently used as a rug pull mechanism.

> 7. Has Blacklist — detects whether the contract includes an address blacklist function that could selectively block specific wallets from trading.

> 8. Owner Renounced — checks if contract ownership has been transferred to the null address, permanently removing all admin privileges.

> 9. Open Source — confirms whether the contract source code is published and verified on the Ethereum block explorer.

> How the Risk Score works:

> Each indicator contributes to a weighted score from 0 (safest) to 100 (highest risk). Honeypots carry the heaviest penalty (60 pts) — a honeypot is essentially guaranteed to be a scam. Active mint authority (25 pts), top-10 holder concentration above 50% (25 pts), and unlocked / unburned liquidity (20 pts) are the main factors that elevate the risk assessment. Blacklist capability also adds 15 pts.

> The final score is color-coded: green ≤20 (low risk), yellow ≤40 (moderate), orange ≤60 (elevated), red >60 (high risk).

> Address formats: This checker accepts hex addresses starting with 0x (e.g. 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7). Each chain has its own dedicated checker page — make sure you paste the address into the correct chain's tool.

> Limitations: This tool analyzes contract-level security only. It does not evaluate the project's team, community, marketing, or long-term viability. A low risk score means the contract is unlikely to contain common exploit vectors — it is not a buy recommendation.

> NFA — Not Financial Advice. This tool provides contract-level security analysis only. Nothing on this page constitutes investment advice.

> A low risk score indicates the contract is unlikely to contain common rug pull mechanisms. It does NOT guarantee the token will hold its value or that the development team is trustworthy.

> Scammers continuously develop new exploit techniques that automated scanners may not detect. Never rely on a single tool for your safety assessment.

> Memecoins and newly launched tokens are extremely high-risk. Most lose the majority of their value within hours or days of launch.

> Results are queried live from the Ethereum blockchain through third-party infrastructure. Data may occasionally be delayed or unavailable during periods of high network activity.

> Always cross-verify findings — check the contract on the official Ethereum block explorer, review holder distribution, and research the team independently before committing funds.

> Use at your own risk. Never trade more than you can afford to lose.
