Honeypot Detection
Catch traps before capital gets locked
Sniper Detection
Know when you’re competing against coordinated actors
- Trading Lite API — Sub-200ms token screening optimized for bots
- Honeypot detection — Don’t buy what you can’t sell
- Hidden tax detection — Expose the real cost before buying
- Holder analysis — Detect sniper clusters and bundler activity
- Liquidity analysis — Verify there’s enough depth to exit
- Multi-chain support — Solana, Base, ETH, and more

Fast Token Screening
Speed is critical for trading bots. The Trading Lite API is optimized for sub-second decisions.Trading Lite API (Solana)
Get essential risk data in under 200ms.| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
riskScore | number | 0-100 overall risk score |
isHoneypot | boolean | Can you sell this token? |
liquidity | number | Total liquidity in USD |
holderCount | number | Number of token holders |
Honeypot Detection
The most critical check—don’t buy what you can’t sell.Tax Detection
Hidden taxes can destroy profitability. A 10x gain means nothing with a 90% sell tax.| Scenario | Max Tax | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Scalping | 3% total | Need tight spreads |
| Swing trading | 10% total | Can absorb some tax |
| Long-term | 15% total | Price appreciation covers tax |
| Never trade | > 25% | Likely scam |

Example Tokens for Testing
Solana Tokens
Test against tokens from Pump.fun, Raydium, and Jupiter trending lists. Scam tokens are deployed constantly, so live data is the best test data.EVM Test Tokens
| Address | Chain | Description |
|---|---|---|
0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 | ETH | USDT - safe, no tax |
0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 | ETH | USDC - safe baseline |
Testing tip: For realistic testing, grab tokens from live trending feeds and run them through your risk engine. This gives you real data on current scam patterns.
