Token security checker

Contract and market screening in Telegram. Not a professional smart-contract audit.

CryptoScout’s token security checker (also called the token risk checker) screens a token contract before you spend time on deeper research. It is a Telegram crypto research tool: you paste a contract address, and the bot returns an explainable risk score, a separate analysis-confidence score, and the underlying signals from public APIs.

A low score is not a buy signal. A high score is not proof the token is a scam. CryptoScout never claims a token is safe.

What the token risk checker analyzes

Depending on the network and which APIs respond, the report can include:

• Name, symbol, and contract identity
• Honeypot / sell-blocked indicators (see the honeypot checker)
• Buy and sell tax percentages when providers report them
• Ownership: whether the owner appears renounced, hidden, or still able to mint or blacklist
• Proxy-contract and pause/transfer restrictions when GoPlus reports them
• Contract verification (Etherscan-family explorers on supported EVM chains)
• DEX liquidity and 24h volume from DEX Screener when a matching pair exists
• Holder concentration when the source provides it
• On Solana: mint/freeze authority status via RugCheck

CryptoScout’s Risk Engine turns those normalized signals into coded flags (for example honeypot detected, high sell tax, low liquidity, active freeze authority) plus a 0–100 risk score. A separate Confidence Engine scores whether sources agreed, which sources were missing, and whether the dataset is thin.

How sources are combined

Checks run in parallel. The bot does not wait for a single vendor. If one API fails, the report is marked partial and lists missing sources instead of inventing data.

• EVM (Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon): GoPlus, Honeypot.is, Etherscan, DEX Screener
• Solana: RugCheck and DEX Screener
• TRON: token check currently validates the address only. Expanded TRON token security sources are not in production yet — the report says so and keeps confidence low.

Supported networks

You can submit a token check for Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Solana, and TRON. Depth differs by chain as described above. This is crypto token analysis from public data, not a substitute for reading the contract yourself.

How to run a token check

1. Open CryptoScout in Telegram.
2. Open Tokens, or send /token bsc 0x… (replace the network and contract).
3. Use the contract address, not a ticker symbol, when you need a specific token.

No wallet connection is required. CryptoScout does not swap, approve, or sign. For an address’s holdings rather than one contract, use the crypto wallet checker.

Scam token checker — what that means here

People search for a “scam token checker” expecting a yes/no label. CryptoScout instead shows explainable indicators: honeypot/sell failure, extreme taxes, mint with an active owner, blacklist functions, tiny liquidity, concentrated holders, unverified code, or Solana freeze authority. Several critical flags can be marked as confirmed by more than one source. That is still automated public-data research. It can miss private exploits, migrating liquidity, or social-engineering scams that never appear in a contract API.

What this tool is not

• Not a professional smart-contract audit
• Not an AML or compliance product
• Not financial advice and not a guarantee of safety
