Observation coverage
We checked a broad set of core on-chain indicators. Unchecked indicators are neither risky nor safe.

This assessment is an uncalibrated estimate of fraud patterns — not a price or investment judgment.

A single decisive fact fixes grade F: Hidden owner present This one fact fixes the grade (risk 85% · F). No matter how good the other metrics are, they cannot reverse this verdict, because it is a reproducible hard gate. Why? Verified · 2026-08-22 07:34 KST

Axis cards show where signals are, not a per-axis score — the %p contribution is a simple sum, while the actual combine uses diminishing returns (overlaps add less).

Can you sell? — You can sell now, but sell-blocking mechanisms exist

Mechanisms an owner could use to block sells — transfer pause, blacklist, cooldown — were found. It can turn into a honeypot at any time.

The main risk signals include Owner can arbitrarily change wallet balances, Transfers can be paused, Blacklist function. 5 positive signals were also found. This is an uncalibrated estimate and not investment advice.

How this score was produced

  • 🔴 A decisive risk factor forces at least 85%
  • ⚠ Risk signals combined (diminishing returns): 28% (overlapping signals add less and less)
  • = Final 85% (the larger of the two, capped at 100% · the weights are human-set)

🔴 Decisive facts (reproducible, near-certain)

FACT Hidden owner present

There is an owner that is not openly visible, so real control may be hidden even when ownership looks renounced.

Risk signals (probability contribution)

MEDIUM Owner can arbitrarily change wallet balances +12

The owner can arbitrarily change wallet balances, effectively zeroing out holders' tokens.

⚖️ Canonical-verified token — the holder of this privilege is judged to be a standard bridge/issuer (e.g., the OP Stack bridge 0x4200…0010), the normal structure of a bridge token, so it is reflected only as mint-centralization information rather than a hard risk. For a non-canonical token this would be a hard risk.

HIGH Mintable — supply can be diluted without limit +3

The operator can mint additional tokens, inflating the supply without limit and diluting the value you hold.

⚖️ In projects that keep distributing rewards or airdrops, this is a common design. Even so, the fact that the privilege exists is unchanged, and the risk does not disappear.

HIGH Blacklist function — specific wallets can be blocked from trading +6

A blacklist function can block specific wallets from trading, so sells can be blocked at will.

HIGH Transfers can be paused — trading can be frozen +8

Transfers can be paused, letting the operator freeze trading.

MEDIUM Ownership not renounced — owner powers remain (0x9028967bcb7c8ea664813714c5f2f54f84fd8308) +3

Owner powers are still active, so the owner-only functions listed above can actually be exercised.

⚖️ In projects that keep distributing rewards or airdrops, this is a common design. Even so, the fact that the privilege exists is unchanged, and the risk does not disappear.

🟢 Positive signals (Green Flags)

These are observed facts, not approvals — appearing on a listing or data service means a profile exists there, not that anyone vetted the project.

GOOD Source code verified and published

The contract source is public and verified, so anyone can check its behavior.

GOOD Sells work normally (not a honeypot)

A static check found no sell-blocking configuration. This reflects a code/configuration check, not an actual trade run — cross-checking via a real sell simulation is shown separately as the 'second-source cross-check' item.

GOOD Holders are well distributed (Max holding 8.5%)

No single wallet monopolizes the supply, so the risk of a single dump is small.

⚖️ However, this metric looks only at the single largest wallet — one party splitting holdings across several wallets lowers each share and can look distributed.

GOOD Ample liquidity ($371,353)

Liquidity is deep, so the risk of price shock or difficulty exiting is low.

GOOD Listed on a major tracking service

A profile for this token exists on major data services such as CoinGecko. Being listed is not being vetted and is not evidence of safety — it does not mean anyone reviewed or approved the project, and widely listed coins have collapsed before.

Web reputation & whitepaper check (optional · about 10s)

The score above is based on on-chain indicators. This button searches the public web now for scam allegations and whitepaper content (no re-run of the on-chain check). Web search is paid and slow, so we do not run it automatically on every token — only manually when needed. Once run, the result is saved and shown automatically from then on. Web allegations are not conclusions, so verify them directly.

Liquidity & volume (for rug-risk judgment · not a price/value assessment)

Total liquidity (all pairs) $862,354 30 trading pairs combined
Total 24h volume (all pairs) $93,996 30 trading pairs combined

Main pair (deepest pool) liquidity $371,353 (velodrome) · the totals combine every pair on this chain · View pool ↗

⚠ Note the two different bases: the risk score and signals are computed from the main pair alone, while the figures above are the sum of all pairs. A low main-pair pool can therefore raise a "very low liquidity" signal even when the combined total looks large.
