# SCV Honeypot Check

> SCV Honeypot Check is a paid API for AI agents from scv-agent.online, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-11-01).

Checks whether an EVM token contract is a honeypot — detecting if it can be sold, and probing for on-chain blacklists, taxes, mint/pause functions, and proxy patterns.

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 scv-honeypot-check-239527b2
```

Example prompt: Before I buy, check whether the token at 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 on Ethereum is a honeypot — can it actually be sold, and does it have any blacklist, suspicious taxes, or mint/pause functions?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, pre-trade safety check on an EVM token contract to detect honeypot traps, blacklists, abnormal taxes, or dangerous contract features (mint/pause/proxy) before committing funds. Prefer this over generic contract scanners when you specifically need sellability confirmation and on-chain blacklist probing across Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Base.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed contract address (not 0x + 40 hex) returns error
- Contract address not found on specified network returns not-found or empty result
- Unsupported network value outside allowed enum returns validation error
- Network RPC timeout or congestion may delay or fail the on-chain probe
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request via x402

## How this service works

SCV Honeypot Check: can this token be sold, or is it a trap? Trading gate, on-chain blacklist probe, taxes, mint/pause, proxy for $0.005 USDC via x402

## Output

Returns a structured assessment of the token contract including: whether the token is a honeypot (i.e. cannot be sold after purchase), on-chain blacklist probe results, buy/sell tax percentages, presence of mint and pause functions, and whether the contract uses a proxy pattern — enabling a go/no-go trading decision.
