# Honeypot Check – Optimism (OP Mainnet)

> Honeypot Check – Optimism (OP Mainnet) 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 Optimism to detect if it is a honeypot, returning sellability, real buy/sell tax, and the reason.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-optimism-op-mainnet-abe13dc2
```

Example prompt: Before I buy this token at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000042 on Optimism, can you check if it's a honeypot — will I actually be able to sell it, and what are the real buy and sell taxes?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to evaluate an ERC-20 token on the Optimism (OP Mainnet) network for honeypot risk before executing a buy. It is distinct from the Ethereum honeypot checker (which targets Ethereum mainnet) and the full token-security-scan (which covers broader contract risks like mintability). Use this for fast, cheap ($0.02), targeted pre-trade safety validation on Optimism.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent token contract address returns an error or empty result
- Token not deployed on Optimism causes a chain mismatch error
- Simulation fails if the token has no liquidity pool on Optimism DEXes
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 error
- Newly deployed tokens with no trades may return inconclusive results

## How this service works

OP Mainnet: 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), can_sell (boolean), real buy tax percentage, real sell tax percentage, and the reason or explanation if a honeypot condition is detected.
