Honeypot Detector for Base Chain
A honeypot is a token contract that lets you buy but prevents you from selling. Our free scanner detects these traps before you invest.
Common Honeypot Patterns
High Buy/Sell Tax
The contract sets a high fee (sometimes 100%) on sells only. You buy normally, but selling costs more than your entire investment.
Blacklisted Addresses
The owner maintains a list of addresses that are blocked from selling. Once you buy, you get added to the list.
Pause on Sell
The contract pauses trading whenever someone tries to sell a large amount — effectively locking your funds.
How to Protect Yourself
- Always scan: Use our Token Safety Scanner before buying any new token
- Check the score: A score below 5/10 means elevated risk
- Review dangerous functions: Look for blacklist, pause, and mint functions
- Verify owner renunciation: If the owner hasn't renounced, they still control the contract
