# Honeypot & Token Risk Check for Base ERC-20 Tokens

> Honeypot & Token Risk Check for Base ERC-20 Tokens is a paid API for AI agents from kr-x402-mvp.kgy5612.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-11-02).

Checks whether a Base ERC-20 token contract is a honeypot and returns a risk score, buy/sell taxes, holder stats, and contract flags.

## 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-token-risk-check-for-base-erc-20-tokens-ce408c94
```

Example prompt: Before you buy any of it, can you check if 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 on Base is a honeypot — I want to see the risk score, whether I can actually sell it, and any contract red flags?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI trading or onchain agent needs a fast, pay-per-call (no API key) safety check on a Base ERC-20 token before executing a trade or swap. It is ideal for autonomous DeFi agents that need to gate transactions on token risk signals without a subscription. Prefer this over generic contract explorers when you need a structured, machine-readable verdict with honeypot simulation, tax detection, and holder concentration in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-ERC-20 contract address returns an error or empty result
- Address not on Base network may return incorrect or null data
- Payment failure via x402/USDC results in 402 response and no data
- Unverified or very new contracts may have incomplete analysis
- Rate limiting or worker downtime returns 5xx errors

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto microdata for trading/onchain AI agents via x402 (USDC on Base): Base gas, token risk, balances, multi-venue prices, Hyperliquid book/funding, kimchi premium. No API keys.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: honeypot verdict (OK/HONEYPOT), risk_level (low/medium/high), risk_score (0-100), can_sell and should_buy booleans, buy_tax and sell_tax percentages, top10_holder_pct, holder_count, contract flags (e.g. upgradeable_proxy, verified_source), bytecode size, and human-readable reasons for any risks detected.
