Token Audit at Scale: 15,000 EVM Tokens Across CoinGecko + CoinMarketCap (2026)
ChainAware expanded its Token Audit study from 10,000 CoinGecko tokens to 15,008 tokens combining CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap’s full EVM listings across 7 chains (Ethereum, BSC, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche). Results: 57.7% high risk, 24.9% suspicious, 16.3% clean, and 156 confirmed honeypots via simulation analysis. 35.3% of tokens have no enforceable mint cap and 35.8% have no timelock on privileged functions – the two findings driving 77.4% of all risk verdicts, consistent with the original study. The biggest change is liquidity lock detection: now covering V2 and V3 pools across six chains and five DEX families (Uniswap, PancakeSwap, QuickSwap, SushiSwap, Trader Joe), with a new real-time recalculation feature that lets anyone verify current lock status on demand in under 5 minutes. Proxy contract detection also expanded to near-complete coverage, revealing 34.9% of tokens use upgradeable proxy patterns – including 118 controlled by a single private key with no multisig or timelock protection. Free Token Audit tool: 127 checks, deep code analysis, results in under 60 seconds, no signup required.
