Honeypot checker: verify sellability first

A honeypot may let you buy but prevent you from selling normally—or make exit prohibitively expensive through rules and taxes.

Scan a contract address

What does a honeypot look like?

Patterns include an outright sell block, whitelist-only sells, wallet- or amount-specific restrictions, and extreme sell tax. Some risks are not labelled “honeypot”: pause controls, blacklists, upgradeable proxies and active owner privileges can all change the rules later.

A three-minute check

  1. Confirm the address. Copy it from an official contract source, a trusted explorer, or the correct trading pair—not a token name alone.
  2. Check sellability and tax. “Not a honeypot” does not mean that exit tax is low.
  3. Inspect privileges. Owner, blacklist, transfer-pause, proxy and external-call flags mean the rules may still change.
  4. Check liquidity and trading. A sellable token can still be impossible to exit near its quoted price when liquidity is thin.
Using 1A.mom: scan a full EVM or Tron address. Read the honeypot, tax, owner, proxy and trading-pause flags under Contract, then put them beside Liquidity and Volume before acting.

Two common mistakes

“Open source means safe.” No—source visibility does not remove tax or liquidity risk. “Zero tax means buy.” No—concentrated ownership, thin liquidity and creator inventory can still make exits painful.
