# Kronos Signals Token Risk API

> Kronos Signals Token Risk API is a paid API for AI agents from kronossignals.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns a cited risk evidence summary for a Base ERC-20 token address, including honeypot simulation, upgradeable-proxy detection, ownership status, and verified-source status.

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 kronos-signals-token-risk-api-e25ecde0
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the risk summary for this Base token — 0x4ed4E862860beD51a9570b96d89aF5E1B0Efefed — and tell me if it passes honeypot simulation, whether the contract is upgradeable, and if the source is verified on Sourcify?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, multi-signal risk snapshot for a Base chain ERC-20 token before trading or interacting with it — specifically when you want honeypot simulation, proxy detectability, ownership status, and source verification aggregated in one call at low cost ($0.005 USDC). Prefer this over manually querying honeypot.is and Sourcify separately.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-Base ERC-20 address returns an error
- Token not yet indexed by honeypot.is may yield incomplete simulation data
- Unverified contracts on Sourcify will show as unverified rather than failing
- Payment failure via x402 prevents access to the endpoint
- Network or upstream API (honeypot.is, Sourcify) downtime may cause partial or failed responses

## How this service works

Cited risk evidence summary for a Base ERC-20 token address: honeypot buy/sell simulation (honeypot.is), upgradeable-proxy detection, ownership status, and verified-source status (Sourcify) — relayed as-is with a documented aggregation methodology, never asserted as a guarantee. $0.005 USDC via x402.

## Output

A cited risk evidence summary including: honeypot buy/sell simulation outcome (from honeypot.is), whether the contract uses an upgradeable proxy pattern, current ownership status (renounced or held), and Sourcify source-code verification status — aggregated with documented methodology and presented without guarantees.
