How this service works
Heuristic honeypot and risk check for an ERC20 token via on-chain eth_call - detects active owner control and transfer restrictions that can trap buyers, on Ethereum and Base. honeypot check, honeypot detector, can i sell token, token scam check, rug detection, transfer restriction Accepts payment on Base or Solana — either network works.

Returns a risk assessment indicating whether the token is a likely honeypot, whether the owner retains privileged control, whether transfer restrictions are active that could prevent selling, and any other on-chain signals suggesting buyer-trapping or rug-pull risk.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Before I buy, run a honeypot check on this token contract 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 on Ethereum — can I actually sell it later, or does it have transfer restrictions that would trap me?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.x402node.dev/chain/honeypotWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to assess whether a specific ERC20 token can be resold after purchase — particularly before executing a buy on Ethereum or Base. Prefer this over general token info endpoints when the primary concern is sell-ability, owner control, and transfer restriction traps rather than tax rates or contract age.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent contract address returns an error
- Unsupported chain (not Ethereum or Base) returns unsupported network error
- Contract is not an ERC20 token, leading to inconclusive or error response
- RPC node timeout causing a failed eth_call
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC, resulting in 402 Payment Required
