Crypto Scam Checker
Paste any token’s contract address and get an instant risk score — honeypot test, owner powers, taxes, holders and liquidity, checked live on-chain.
Find the official address on the project’s website or CoinGecko — never trust one sent in a DM. Supports Ethereum, BSC, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism and Avalanche.
Holding crypto? Get it off the exchange.
The single best protection against hacks and scams is a hardware wallet — your keys stay offline where malware and phishing can’t reach them.

- Honeypot simulation — can you actually sell after buying?
- Contract verification — is the source code public, or hidden?
- Trading taxes — hidden buy/sell taxes that eat your money.
- Owner privileges — can the owner mint tokens, pause transfers, blacklist wallets or edit balances?
- Holder concentration — does one wallet control the supply?
- Liquidity & LP locks — is there real liquidity, and can it be pulled (rug)?
What it can’t check
A scan reads the contract and on-chain data — it can’t judge whether a team is lying in its marketing, whether the tokenomics make sense, or what the price will do. A low score means no common technical red flags, not a recommendation. Read how our scoring works.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a crypto token is a scam?
Paste the token’s contract address above. The scanner runs live on-chain checks and returns a risk score with plain-English explanations for each flag.
What is a honeypot token?
A token designed so you can buy but never sell. The scanner runs a sell simulation to catch this before you spend anything.
Is this free?
Yes — free, no sign-up, no wallet connection. It only reads public on-chain data; it never asks for your keys.
Does a low score mean the token is safe?
No. It means none of the common technical red flags were found. Teams can still fail or lie. Always do your own research and never invest more than you can lose.
