Check a Token Before You Buy

A 60-second scan that answers the only three questions that matter before you spend: can you sell, can the rules change, and is the liquidity real.

Runs in your browser using public data from GoPlus, honeypot.is and DexScreener. Nothing is stored.

Three questions before you buy anything

Most losses on new tokens are not bad bets — they are tokens that were never sellable in the first place, or whose rules changed the moment enough buyers were in. You can rule out those traps in under a minute by answering three questions with on-chain data instead of hope.

  1. Can I sell it? A live buy-then-sell simulation catches honeypots that let you in but block the exit.
  2. Can the developer change the rules? Mintable supply, proxy upgradeability, hidden owners, blacklist and cooldown functions all mean the token you buy today may not be the token you hold tomorrow.
  3. Is the liquidity real? A token with a few hundred dollars of liquidity held by a handful of wallets can be drained instantly — no exit tax required.

How to run the scan

Copy the token's contract address from DexScreener, a block explorer, or wherever you found it. Paste it above, leave the network on Auto-detect, and press Check. Green means no mechanical scam was found; amber means proceed carefully; red means the contract can trap or drain buyers.

What a scan cannot tell you

This filters out mechanical scams — it cannot tell you whether a token has a future. Many tokens pass every automated check and still go to zero on their own. Treat a green result as "not an obvious trap," never as "safe to buy." Never invest more than you can afford to lose.

FAQ

How do I check a crypto token before buying it?

Paste the token's contract address into the scanner above. It runs a live sell simulation, reads the contract's security flags, and checks holder concentration and liquidity — the three things that decide whether you can get your money back out.

What should I look for before buying a new token?

Whether you can actually sell it, whether the developer can still change the rules (mint, upgrade, blacklist), and whether the liquidity is real and not held by a few wallets. The tool checks all three in one scan.

Does a passing scan mean the token is safe?

No. It means no mechanical trap was found. A token can pass every automated check and still fail on its own. Automated screening reduces obvious risk; it is not a guarantee or financial advice.
