# true402 Ethereum Token Deployer Risk Check

> true402 Ethereum Token Deployer Risk Check is a paid API for AI agents from true402.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.008/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Analyzes an Ethereum token contract to identify whether its deployer is a known serial rugger, with optional deep-scan of prior tokens for rug outcomes.

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 true402-ethereum-token-deployer-risk-check-d52c7594 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if the deployer behind this Ethereum token contract 0x1f9840a85d5aF5bf1D1762F925BDADdC4201F984 is a known serial rugger — and also run the deep scan to check their prior tokens for rug outcomes?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to assess the rug pull risk of an Ethereum token by examining its deployer's historical behavior. It is especially useful before investing in or listing a new token, or as a safety gate in automated DeFi workflows. Prefer the deep scan option when you need the strongest serial-rugger signal rather than a surface-level deployer check.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed token contract address returns an error
- Token contract not found on Ethereum mainnet
- Unsupported chain specified (only 'ethereum' is supported)
- Deep scan may time out or return partial results for deployers with many prior tokens
- Payment failure via HTTP 402 if wallet balance is insufficient

## How this service works

The machine-native marketplace. Wallet = identity. Pay per call with HTTP 402.

## Output

Returns a risk profile for the deployer of the specified Ethereum token contract, indicating whether the deployer exhibits serial rugger patterns. With the optional deep scan enabled, also classifies the deployer's recent prior token deployments as live or dead (no liquidity = rug outcome), providing a stronger signal of repeat malicious behavior.
