# honeypot-check-bsc

> honeypot-check-bsc 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 a BNB Smart Chain token to detect if it is a honeypot, returning sellability, real tax rates, and the reason it may be unsellable.

## 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-bsc-248dedd5
```

Example prompt: Before I buy this BSC token at 0x4B0F1812e5Df2A09796481Ff14017e6005508003, run a honeypot check — simulate a buy and sell and tell me if I can actually sell it, what the real buy and sell taxes are, and why it might be blocked.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint specifically for BNB Smart Chain (BSC) tokens when you need to simulate actual buy/sell transactions to detect honeypot mechanics and real tax rates before committing funds. Prefer over generic token risk checks when you need confirmed transaction simulation rather than static code analysis. Use the Polygon sibling endpoint for Polygon PoS tokens.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent contract address returns an error or no result
- Token not yet indexed on BSC DEX may return insufficient liquidity data
- Contract address on wrong chain (e.g. Ethereum instead of BSC) returns invalid results
- Simulation may fail if token has no active DEX liquidity pool
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in 402 or 429 response

## How this service works

BNB Smart Chain: 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 structured result including: is_honeypot (boolean indicating if the token traps buyers), can_sell (boolean), real buy tax percentage, real sell tax percentage, and a plain-English reason explaining why the token may be unsellable or flagged as a honeypot.
