## 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-for-any-token-7dd99135
```

Example prompt: Can you run a honeypot check on token 0x940181a94a35a4569e4529a3cdfb74e38fd98631 on Base and tell me if I can actually sell it after buying, plus what the safety score is?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, on-chain simulated honeypot and safety check for a specific token address — including sell simulation, fee/blacklist/pause function detection, and liquidity analysis — across Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, or Solana. Prefer this over a simple rug-check endpoint when you need the full safety score plus granular contract function analysis rather than just a risk label.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent contract address returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported chain specified — must be one of base, ethereum, arbitrum, optimism, polygon, solana
- Token not yet indexed or too new to have on-chain data
- Network congestion may cause simulation timeouts
- Payment failure ($0.02 USDC) results in 402 response

## How this service works

Honeypot check for any token ($0.02): can it be sold after you buy? Simulated sell and buy on chain, owner and proxy, mint, blacklist, pause and fee functions, liquidity, LP burn and buy tax on Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism and Polygon; mint and freeze authority on Solana. Verdict and 0-100 safety score.

## Output

Returns a verdict on whether the token is a honeypot (i.e. whether a sell is possible after a buy), a 0–100 safety score, buy tax percentage, simulation results for buy/sell transactions, flags for owner/proxy functions, mint, blacklist, pause, and fee functions, liquidity details, LP burn status, and (for Solana) mint and freeze authority status.
