# Honeypot Check – Arbitrum One

> Honeypot Check – Arbitrum One is a paid API for AI agents from chain.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Simulates a buy and sell of an ERC-20 token on Arbitrum One to detect honeypots, returning sellability, real tax rates, and the reason if it can't be sold.

## 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 honeypot-check-arbitrum-one-144da761
```

Example prompt: Before I buy this token on Arbitrum, can you check if it's a honeypot — run a buy and sell simulation for contract address 0xABC123... and tell me if I can sell it, and what the real buy and sell taxes are?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint specifically for tokens on Arbitrum One when you need a fast, simulation-based honeypot check before executing a buy. Prefer this over generic contract scanners when you need real buy/sell tax values and a direct sellability verdict. For tokens on other chains, use the equivalent BNB, Polygon, or Optimism honeypot endpoints from the same provider.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent contract address returns an error or null result
- Token not traded on any Arbitrum DEX — simulation cannot be performed
- Network congestion or RPC failure may cause timeout
- Token with extreme taxes may be flagged but not strictly classified as honeypot
- Contract is a proxy or upgradeable and simulation may not reflect latest behavior

## How this service works

Arbitrum One: Can I sell this token? Honeypot detector: simulates a buy and a sell and returns is_honeypot, can_sell, real buy and sell tax and the reason. Check before an agent buys any new token. $0.02 per call.

## Output

Returns a JSON object indicating whether the token is a honeypot (is_honeypot boolean), whether it can be sold (can_sell boolean), the real buy tax percentage, the real sell tax percentage, and a human-readable reason explaining why the token cannot be sold if applicable.
