HoneypotScan is a free tool that analyzes smart contracts to detect honeypot scams before you invest. It scans contract source code for malicious patterns that prevent selling tokens.
We fetch the contract source code from blockchain explorers and analyze it using pattern matching to detect common honeypot techniques like tx.origin abuse, hidden fees, transfer restrictions, and sell blocking logic.
We ONLY support Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. These are the only chains we scan. We automatically detect which chain your contract is on. Other chains (BSC, Solana, Base, etc.) are not supported.
We ONLY scan Solidity smart contracts. We cannot analyze contracts written in Vyper, Rust (Solana), or other languages. The contract must be written in Solidity and deployed on Ethereum, Polygon, or Arbitrum.
NO. HoneypotScan is specialized for honeypot detection ONLY. We do NOT scan for reentrancy bugs, overflow/underflow, access control issues, oracle manipulation, or other smart contract vulnerabilities. We only answer one question: "Can I sell this token after I buy it?" For comprehensive security audits, consult professional auditors.
Yes! 100% free with no limits, no registration, and no API keys needed. We use Cloudflare's free tier and smart caching to keep costs at $0/month.
Our scanner detects 6+ honeypot patterns with 95%+ confidence when patterns are found. However, no tool is perfect - always do your own research before investing.
We can only scan contracts with verified source code on blockchain explorers. Unverified contracts are a red flag on their own.
Most scans complete in 2 seconds thanks to our 95%+ cache hit rate. First-time scans may take slightly longer.
Yes. We don't track users, collect personal data, or store search history. Only contract addresses are cached for performance.
