# EVM Token Honeypot & Trap Flag Detector

> EVM Token Honeypot & Trap Flag Detector is a paid API for AI agents from api.fadeandco.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Fetches GoPlus token security flags for an EVM token contract — including honeypot status, buy/sell/transfer tax rates, blacklist, pausable transfers, hidden owner, mintability, anti-whale, and slippage modifiers.

## 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 evm-token-honeypot-trap-flag-detector-6a258310
```

Example prompt: Can you check if the token at 0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7 on Ethereum is a honeypot, and tell me the buy/sell tax rates and any trap flags like blacklist or pausable transfers?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, structured security flag summary for an EVM token before executing a trade or recommending a token to a user. It is ideal when you want GoPlus-sourced honeypot and tax data across Ethereum, BSC, Base, Arbitrum, and Polygon without running your own on-chain simulation. Prefer this over raw GoPlus API calls when you need a pre-parsed verdict and trap flag list in a single lightweight response.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed contract address returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported chain name causes a bad request response
- Token not indexed by GoPlus returns no data
- GoPlus upstream API downtime causes service unavailability
- Newly deployed contracts may not yet be indexed, returning incomplete flags

## How this service works

Trap flags for an EVM token (Ethereum, BSC, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon) from GoPlus token security, which simulates buy and sell: honeypot result, buy/sell/transfer tax, blacklist, pausable transfers, hidden owner, mintable, anti-whale and slippage modifiers. The tool reports GoPlus's flags; it runs no simulation of its own.

## Output

A JSON object containing: token name and symbol, contract address, chain, GoPlus source URL, check timestamp, honeypot boolean, buy/sell/transfer tax percentages, a verdict string (e.g. TRAP_SIGNALS or SAFE), and a flags object with mintable, blacklist, openSource, hiddenOwner, and transferPausable booleans, plus an array of human-readable trap flag descriptions.
