How this service works
Is this token a honeypot? Check if a token can be bought but not sold. Fast honeypot detection for any ERC-20 token on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BSC, Avalanche.
Output
Returns whether the token is a honeypot (buy-only trap) on the specified chain, indicating if sell transactions are blocked or restricted by the contract. May include buy/sell tax rates and tradability signals.
Example use cases
Pre-trade token safety check
“I'm about to buy this token on Base — contract address 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006 — can you run a honeypot check on it before I put any money in?”
DeFi bot scam filter
“My trading bot found an interesting token at 0xbb4CdB9CBd36B01bD1cBaEBF2De08d9173bc095c on BSC — scan it for honeypot traps before we execute any trades.”
Portfolio risk audit for held tokens
“Can you check if the Arbitrum token at address 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 is a honeypot? I already hold some and want to know if I can actually sell it.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://hexscan.xyz/honeypotWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need fast, cheap, pre-trade honeypot detection on a specific ERC-20 token across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BSC, or Avalanche. Ideal for DeFi bots, trading agents, or wallet UIs that need a quick boolean risk signal before executing a swap. Prefer this over full smart contract auditing services when speed and cost matter more than exhaustive code review.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent contract address returns an error
- Unsupported chain name causes request rejection
- Unverified or proxy contracts may produce inconclusive results
- Network congestion on the target chain may slow simulation
- Token too new to have trading history may yield uncertain results
