Plain-English safety check · not financial advice▸ Why is this risky?
What it means: The trading pool's funds don't appear to be locked or burned, so whoever controls them can pull them out.
How scammers use it: This is the classic rug: the team waits for buyers to add money, then removes all the liquidity, collapsing the price to zero.
What to do: Don't buy unless you can see proof the liquidity is locked or burned. Unverified is a real risk, not a neutral.
▸ Why is this risky?
What it means: The token's supply isn't fixed — an owner or authority can create new tokens at will.
How scammers use it: Scammers mint a huge new batch for themselves and sell it, diluting everyone else's holdings toward zero.
What to do: Prefer tokens where minting is revoked/renounced. If mint is active, treat any price as fragile.
▸ Why is this risky?
What it means: A percentage of each trade is taken as a fee — and on some tokens the owner can raise it.
How scammers use it: Scammers set the sell tax to 100% (or raise it after you buy), so any sale returns almost nothing — a soft honeypot.
What to do: Avoid high taxes, and especially tokens where the tax can be changed after launch.
▸ Why is this risky?
What it means: A single non-pool wallet controls a large share of the total supply.
How scammers use it: That holder can dump their entire bag at once, crashing the price and leaving everyone else underwater.
What to do: Be very cautious when one wallet holds a big slice — a single sell can wipe out the price.
▸ Why is this risky?
What it means: The wallet that created this token is connected to tokens that were honeypots or rugged before.
How scammers use it: Serial scammers launch token after token with the same playbook, rugging each one and moving to the next.
What to do: A repeat-offender deployer is one of the strongest warning signs. Don't trust a new token from a known bad creator.
What should I do next?
- Wait for more data — we couldn't verify the key safety checks yet.
- Check the holder distribution on a block explorer ↗
- Verify the LP is locked or burned manually →
- Avoid large buys until it's verified — treat unverified as risky.
