# DeFi Safety Oracle – Honeypot & Rug Detector

> DeFi Safety Oracle – Honeypot & Rug Detector is a paid API for AI agents from oracle.cyberwarex.com, paid per call via x402, $0.04/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-13).

Analyzes an ERC-20 token contract on Base or BSC for honeypot traps, rug-pull risk, and trading safety, returning an A–F grade with tradeable status.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 defi-safety-oracle-honeypot-rug-detector-78a48cbf
```

Example prompt: Can you check if the token at 0x4ed4E862860beD51a9570b96d89aF5E1B0Efefed on Base is safe to trade — is it a honeypot or rug pull risk?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need deterministic, simulation-based honeypot detection rather than purely heuristic scoring — it actually simulates buy/sell transactions on real DEX pools (Aerodrome, Uniswap V2/V3) via eth_call state overrides, not just static contract analysis. Prefer it over GoPlus alone when you want a cross-validated A–F grade combining multiple data sources. Best for Base and BSC chains specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent contract address returns an error or low grade
- Unsupported chain (not Base or BSC) returns validation error
- Very new contracts with no liquidity pool may produce inconclusive results
- Network or RPC timeouts during eth_call simulation may cause request failure
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 response before analysis runs

## How this service works

Focused honeypot check: a live buy-then-sell simulation against real DEX liquidity (Aerodrome, Uniswap V2/V3/V4). Tells an agent whether the token can actually be SOLD, the round-trip loss percent, and whether GoPlus or honeypot.is flag it too. Catches sell-blocking scam tokens, extreme sell taxes and no-liquidity traps before a buy is placed.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: a letter grade (A–F) summarizing overall safety, a boolean 'is_honeypot' flag, a boolean 'tradeable' field indicating if the token can actually be sold after purchase, and a human-readable 'summary' explaining the findings from DEX simulation and cross-checks.
