# APEX Base Token Verdict

> APEX Base Token Verdict is a paid API for AI agents from apexfaucet.xyz, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Simulates a real buy-and-sell of a Base token in one block and grades it BASED, MID, COOKED, or RADIOACTIVE (honeypot) with round-trip cost and a one-liner summary.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability apex-base-token-verdict-dd72ea10
```

Example prompt: Can you check if the Base token at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006 is safe to trade — run a simulated buy and sell and tell me if it's BASED, MID, COOKED, or RADIOACTIVE?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a definitive, simulation-based safety verdict on a Base chain token rather than a static heuristic or model-based scan. It is specifically suited for agents operating on Base, not Ethereum mainnet or other EVM chains. Prefer this over generic honeypot checkers when you need a real simulated trade result, an actual round-trip loss percentage, and pool liquidity context — not just bytecode analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent token address returns an error
- Token not deployed on Base returns a lookup failure
- No liquidity pool found for the token causes a simulation failure
- Network or RPC issues on Base chain may cause timeouts
- Newly deployed tokens with insufficient initial liquidity may be unresolvable

## How this service works

Token verdict for any Base token from a real simulated buy and sell: BASED, MID, COOKED or RADIOACTIVE (honeypot), with round-trip cost and a one-liner. Base token verdict from a REAL trade, not a model: pass a Base token address and we execute a buy and a full sell of it in one simulated Base block, then grade it BASED (sells back, 3% or less lost, pool $50k+), MID, COOKED (over 10% lost or pool under $5k) or RADIOACTIVE (honeypot: the buy or the sell fails, or over 30% lost), with a…

## Output

Returns a grade (BASED = safe, sells back with ≤3% loss and pool ≥$50k; MID = borderline; COOKED = >10% loss or pool <$5k; RADIOACTIVE = honeypot, buy or sell fails or >30% lost), along with the round-trip cost in dollar terms and a human-readable one-liner explaining why the grade was assigned.
