Token Safety Scanner

Paste a contract address and get the four checks that decide whether you can lose your money outright: is the liquidity locked or burned, has ownership been renounced, can more supply be minted, and is the source verified. Plus taxes, holder concentration and every power the owner still holds over your position.

No address to hand? Try a real memecoin or a major stablecoin.

You will never be asked to connect a wallet here. This tool reads public blockchain data from an address you paste. No safety tool needs your wallet, your seed phrase or your private key, and anything that asks for them is the thing it claims to protect you from. If a site offering to check or recover your funds asks you to connect or to type a seed phrase, close it.

What this checks, and what it cannot

Every check on this page reads public data about the contract and reports what it finds. That covers the mechanical ways money is taken: liquidity that can be withdrawn, supply that can be minted, a sale that cannot execute, a tax that can be raised after you buy, a wallet that can be blocked. It does not cover whether a project is real, whether the team will build anything, or whether the price will go anywhere. Those are judgements, and a tool that claimed to make them would be lying to you.

Where a source has no data for a contract, this says so rather than showing a pass. A very new token or a smaller chain will often return partial results. Treat an absent answer as a reason to check manually, never as an all clear.

How to use it

  1. Copy the contract address from the exchange listing, the project site or a block explorer. Do not use an address from a direct message.
  2. Choose the chain the token is on.
  3. Paste the address and run the scan.
  4. Read the four core checks first, then the owner powers, then decide.

Get the contract address from a block explorer, the exchange listing or the project's own site. Never take an address from a direct message or a reply, which is the single most common way people end up buying a copy of the token they meant to buy. If you are not sure you have the right one, the ticker collision checker shows every asset we score that uses the same symbol.

Questions people ask

Is this token safe to buy?

The scanner answers the mechanical half of that question and is honest about the rest. It tells you whether the liquidity is locked or burned, whether ownership has been renounced, whether more supply can be minted, whether the source is verified, what the trading taxes are, how concentrated the holders are, and exactly which powers the owner kept. What it cannot tell you is whether a project has any value, whether the team will deliver, or whether the price will go up. A token can pass every check here and still go to zero, because most new tokens do.

What does liquidity locked or burned actually mean?

When someone creates a trading pool they receive pool tokens representing their share of it. Whoever holds those can withdraw the pool. If they are burned, sent to an address nobody controls, or locked in a time contract, that withdrawal cannot happen. If they are neither, the person who created the pool can remove all of the liquidity in one transaction and the price goes to zero. This is the mechanism behind most rug pulls, which is why it is the first thing the scanner checks.

What does renouncing ownership mean and why does it matter?

Most token contracts have an owner address that can call privileged functions such as minting supply, pausing transfers or changing the tax rate. Renouncing ownership sets that address to nothing, so those functions can never be called again. An active owner is not automatically bad, a real project often needs one, but it means someone can change the rules after you buy. The scanner lists the exact powers rather than just telling you an owner exists.

Is the scanner free, and do I need to connect a wallet?

It is free with no sign up and no wallet connection. It reads public blockchain data using the contract address you paste. Never connect a wallet or enter a seed phrase to check whether a token is safe. No legitimate safety tool needs either, and being asked for them is itself the scam.

Which chains does it cover?

Twenty chains including Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Solana, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche and TRON. Coverage comes from public security data, and it is thinner on very new tokens and smaller chains. Where an answer is not available the scanner says so rather than showing a pass, because on this subject a false all clear is worse than no answer.

What should I do if the scanner flags something?

Read the specific finding rather than the headline. A high tax is a cost you can decide to accept. Unlocked liquidity is a risk you cannot manage, because it does not depend on the price doing anything. If the source is unverified or the token simulates as unsellable, there is nothing to weigh up.
