Token Audit¶
The Rug Pull Detector tells you whether the person behind a token is trustworthy. Token Audit tells you whether the contract is safe. It runs a deep code analysis across 11 verification modules - ownership controls, liquidity locks, buy/sell simulation, transfer restrictions, and more - and returns one of six verdicts. Free to use, no account required.
What Token Audit Checks¶
Token Audit analyses the contract code and on-chain state across 11 modules:
| Module | What It Looks For |
|---|---|
| Ownership | Admin keys, renounced ownership, hidden owner functions |
| Liquidity | Lock status, lock duration, LP concentration |
| Supply | Minting authority, initial vs current supply, inflation risk |
| Transfer | Blacklist/whitelist functions, transfer restrictions, sell blocks |
| Pausability | Can trading be paused by the owner? |
| Approve | Approval-based drain vectors |
| Permit | Gasless approval exploit vectors |
| Reentrancy | Contract reentry vulnerabilities |
| Simulation | Live buy + sell simulation (coming soon) |
| Arithmetic | Integer overflow/underflow checks (coming soon) |
| Events | Missing or spoofed event emissions (coming soon) |
Each module returns a status - Pass, Fail, Warn, or N/A - with the specific findings that triggered it.
The Six Verdicts¶
After analysing all modules, Token Audit returns one overall verdict:
| Verdict | What It Means |
|---|---|
| CLEAN | No theft or rug mechanics found - code analysis passed every safety check |
| SUSPICIOUS | Risky mechanics present - the code can hurt holders under the wrong conditions |
| HIGH RISK | Owner-controlled rug vectors - one transaction by the owner could trap or drain holders |
| HONEYPOT | You can buy but you cannot sell - simulation confirms sells are blocked |
| THEFT | Funds drain on every transfer - every transaction leaks value to the deployer |
| UNVERIFIABLE | Source code not verified on-chain - only partial analysis was possible |
If a token is HONEYPOT or THEFT: do not buy.
How to Use It¶
- Find the token's contract address - available on the exchange listing, CoinGecko, or the project's official site
- Go to chainaware.ai/token-audit
- Select the chain the token is deployed on
- Paste the contract address and click Audit
- Results appear in seconds - review the verdict, then expand individual modules to see the specific findings
What the Results Tell You¶
Overall verdict - shown at the top with a risk score. The single most important signal.
Module statuses - each module shows Pass / Fail / Warn / N/A. Fail modules are auto-expanded with the specific finding. A token can have a High Risk verdict driven by a single critical module even if others pass.
Module findings - the detail behind each flag. For example, an Ownership fail might show "Owner can call setTaxFee() without limit" - meaning the deployer can raise buy/sell tax to 100% at any time.
N/A vs Pass - N/A means a feature isn't present in this contract (e.g. a token with no mint function shows N/A for Supply). It's not a red flag. Pass means the feature exists and was checked - no issues found.
Supported Chains¶
BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Avalanche.
Token Audit vs Rug Pull Detector¶
Use both. They catch different risks.
| Token Audit | Rug Pull Detector | |
|---|---|---|
| Analyses | The smart contract code | The deployer's wallet history |
| Catches | Hidden owner functions, sell blocks, liquidity traps | Serial scammers, exit patterns, fresh LP risk |
| Best for | "Is this contract safe?" | "Is this person trustworthy?" |
| Limitation | Can't assess the team's intentions | Can't see hidden contract mechanics |
A clean contract with a serial rug puller behind it is still dangerous. A suspicious contract from a veteran deployer still has bad mechanics. Check both.
