Kette Honeypot Detector
x402
Kette Honeypot Detector is a paid API for AI agents from kette.halowerk.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).
Simulates token transfer steps via eth_call with state override to detect honeypot-style traps on ERC-20 tokens without broadcasting any transaction.

How this service works
Runs each step separately as a simulation (eth_call with state override) against the current chain state and reports each result on its own, so a token that can be received but not moved on is visible as exactly that. Nothing is ever executed: no transaction is broadcast, no key is held, no approval is given. Limits, and they are decisive: can_buy and can_sell through a DEX router are NOT simulated - that needs a funded account and a router path this service cannot back, so both stay null. What
Output
A per-step simulation report showing which token transfer operations (e.g. receive, transfer out) succeed or fail under eth_call with state override against current chain state. Flags tokens that can be received but not moved. Note: can_buy and can_sell via a DEX router are always null because those require a funded account and router path.
Example use cases
Pre-purchase honeypot safety check
“Before I ape into this new token at 0x4e15361fd6b4bb609fa63c81a2be19d873717870 on Ethereum, can you simulate each transfer step and tell me if it looks like a honeypot?”
DeFi bot token safety gate
“I need you to check whether token 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 on Base passes the honeypot simulation — specifically tell me which steps succeed and which get blocked.”
Investigating suspicious airdrop token
“I just received some random token at 0x95aD61b0a150d79219dCF64E1E6Cc01f0B64C4cE on Arbitrum into my wallet — can you simulate whether I can actually move it, or is it a trap that freezes on transfer?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://kette.halowerk.com/token/honeypotWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a gas-free, no-transaction honeypot check that breaks down each transfer step individually, making it visible exactly where a token becomes unmovable. Prefer this over DEX-router-based simulators when you do not have a funded account or a specific router path, and when you want step-level granularity rather than a single buy/sell verdict.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-ERC-20 contract address returns an error
- Unsupported chain returns a validation error
- Undeployed or self-destructed contract cannot be simulated
- RPC node unavailability causes simulation timeout
- Token with non-standard transfer logic may produce ambiguous results
Input
Schema · Request body
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| chain | string | Chain identifier, for example ethereum, base, arbitrum, optimism, polygon or bsc. |
| token | string | ERC-20 contract address, 0x followed by 40 hex characters. |
| holder | string | Optional: an address that actually holds the token. Its balance is used as the source for the transfer simulation, which makes the result far more meaningful. |
