Token Safety Scanner — Honeypot & Rug Check (EVM + Solana)

A multi-chain token safety scanner that bundles a honeypot checker, rug pull detector and a calibrated token risk score (0–100) into a single call. Check pre-trade safety for any token across Ethereum, BSC, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche and Solana — in one batch, with one consistent schema. Built for trading bots, AI agents and due-diligence workflows that need a fast, opinionated “is this token safe to buy?” answer.

Unlike Solana-only or single-chain scanners, this actor is a multi-chain token check: pass a mix of EVM and Solana tokens together and get back a per-token safety score, risk level, and the detail of every check.

What it does

• Honeypot scanner — detects tokens you can buy but cannot sell (sell-simulation + contract flags).
• Rug-pull risk — mint/freeze authority, ownership reclaim, hidden owner, self-destruct, blacklist.
• Calibrated 0–100 safety score — not just LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH or an A–F grade. One number you can threshold on.
• Buy/sell tax — real percentages from sell simulation, with extreme-tax penalties.
• Holder concentration & liquidity — top-holder %, holder count, USD liquidity, 24h volume.
• LP lock — whether liquidity is locked or burned (EVM).
• Serial-scammer creator — flags deployers linked to prior honeypot / phishing / scam activity.
• Batch input — score a whole watchlist of tokens (any chains) in one run.

What is checked

Check	EVM	Solana	Meaning
Honeypot / sell simulation	✅	⚠️ authority-based	Can the token actually be sold?
Sell tax / buy tax	✅	—	Hidden transfer taxes
Mint authority	✅ (mintable)	✅	Can supply be inflated?
Freeze authority	✅ (pausable)	✅	Can your wallet be frozen?
Contract verified	✅	—	Is the source code public?
Ownership reclaim / hidden owner	✅	—	Owner backdoors
Self-destruct / blacklist	✅	—	Kill-switch & blocklists
Holder concentration	✅	✅	Whale / insider dominance
LP lock / burn	✅	—	Can liquidity be pulled?
Liquidity & volume	✅	✅	Exit liquidity (DexScreener)
Serial-scammer creator	✅	✅	Deployer reputation

Why this one

• Multi-chain in one call. Most safety actors are Solana-only or single-EVM-chain. This one does EVM + Solana together — the differentiator. Search-friendly for multi-chain token safety, EVM token safety, Solana token safety.
• A real 0–100 score, calibrated and explained by per-check flags — not a vague band or letter grade.
• More checks than typical scanners, including LP lock, buy/sell tax and serial-scammer creator reputation.
• Agent- & bot-ready. Clean JSON, one row per token, safety_score + risk_level + verdict + a structured checks object you can branch on.
• Robust by design. Retries/backoff on every upstream, missing fields become null (never a crash), and per-source sources_ok tells you what responded.

Output fields

• safety_score — 0–100 (100 = safest). A honeypot forces the score to 0.
• risk_level — safe (≥80), low_risk (≥60), caution (≥40), high_risk (<40), or critical (honeypot).
• verdict — one-line human/LLM-ready summary.
• is_honeypot, buy_tax_pct, sell_tax_pct, holder_count, creator_address — headline signals.
• flags — array of human-readable red flags.
• checks — structured per-check object (status: pass / warn / fail / unknown + detail).
• market — price, liquidity, 24h volume, DEX and pair URL (DexScreener).
• sources_ok — which upstream sources responded for this token.
• source, timestamp, disclaimer.

Use cases

• Trading bots & snipers — gate every buy on safety_score and is_honeypot before sending a transaction.
• AI agents — a single tool call returns a structured, multi-chain safety verdict an LLM can reason over.
• Due diligence — screen a watchlist of new listings across chains in one run.
• Alerts & monitoring — schedule the actor on a token list and watch for risk-level changes.

Pricing

Pay-per-result: you are charged per token scanned (target $0.002 per result, i.e. $2 / 1,000), plus Apify platform usage. max_items caps your spend. (Final price is set on the Store listing.)

Notes & limits

• Heuristic, automated checks — not financial advice. Always do your own research.
• Solana has no reliable on-chain sell-simulation, so Solana safety relies on mint/freeze authority, holder concentration, creator reputation and liquidity (honeypot status is reported as unknown rather than guessed).
• A token not yet indexed by any source (brand-new / wrong address / unsupported chain) is reported as an error for that entry and is not charged.
• Centralized stablecoins (e.g. Circle's USDC on Solana) legitimately keep mint/freeze authority — the scanner reports the raw on-chain fact; read the flags in context.
