Crypto Rug Checker & Honeypot Detector
Before you ape in, run the contract. Paste any token address and scan it for the traps behind most rug pulls — honeypots that block selling, mint functions that print unlimited supply, blacklist switches, and abusive sell taxes. Free, no login, works on Ethereum, BSC, Base, and Solana.
What the scan looks for
Rug pulls and scam tokens almost always leave fingerprints in the smart contract. Baron reads them so you don't have to trust a stranger's word.
🍯 Honeypot / sell block
Simulates a sell and inspects transfer logic — flags tokens you can buy but can't sell.
🖨️ Mint authority
Detects a live mint function or unrenounced authority that lets the team print unlimited supply and dump.
⛔ Blacklist & pause
Finds blacklist, pausable, or trading-toggle functions that can freeze your ability to trade.
💸 Sell tax traps
Surfaces asymmetric or extreme buy/sell taxes that quietly bleed or trap holders.
🔑 Ownership
Checks whether ownership is renounced and whether privileged functions still put you at the team's mercy.
💧 Liquidity & holders
Reads liquidity and top-holder concentration — the tells of a coin one wallet can crater.
How it works
Paste the contract
Drop the token's contract address (or Solana mint) and pick the chain.

Safe, Caution, or Danger — with the specific red flags that drove it.
Why check a token before you buy?
"Rug pull" and "honeypot" aren't rare edge cases in crypto — they're the default risk on any new, unaudited token. A project can look perfect on the surface, with a slick site and a hyped Telegram, while the contract quietly contains a switch that lets the deployer disable selling or mint themselves a billion tokens. By the time the chart drops, it's too late.
A thirty-second contract scan is the cheapest insurance in crypto. It won't tell you a coin will go up — nothing can — but it will tell you whether the code is built to trap you. That's the difference between a bad trade and a total loss.
Frequently asked questions
What is a crypto rug checker?
A rug checker scans a token's smart contract for the red flags used in rug pulls and scams — honeypots that block selling, a mint function that lets the team print unlimited supply, blacklist or pause functions, and abusive sell taxes — so you can spot a scam token before you buy.
What is a honeypot token?
A honeypot lets you buy but silently blocks or heavily taxes selling, trapping your funds. A honeypot detector simulates a sell and inspects the contract's transfer logic to flag tokens you wouldn't be able to sell.
Which chains are supported?
The free scan covers Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Base, Arbitrum, and Polygon by contract address, plus Solana by mint address.
Is it really free?
Yes — the top-line verdict and key flags are free with no login. A CryptoLwa membership unlocks the full forensic breakdown and lets Baron Samedi run these checks automatically across every token, alongside the rest of the agent suite.
Does a "Safe" result mean the token is a good investment?
No. A clean contract only means the code isn't obviously built to trap you. It says nothing about the team, the tokenomics, or whether the price will rise. Always do your own research — this is educational, not financial advice.
