BASE / 8453 · TOKEN RISK GUIDE

Check the honeypot.
Then check the rest.

A Base token can avoid a honeypot flag and still carry material execution risk. Jepeta combines the honeypot signal with mintability, taxes, liquidity, holder concentration and source quality before returning PASS, WARN or BLOCK.

What a Base honeypot checker tells you

A honeypot check is designed to identify tokens that appear buyable but cannot be sold normally, or that expose related transfer restrictions. It is an important blocker, but it is only one part of a pre-trade risk check.

HoneypotA current security-provider signal that can trigger a hard BLOCK.
MintabilityWhether new supply can be created according to the available contract-security data.
Buy / sell taxObserved token taxes when the source provides them; missing values are not treated as zero.
LiquidityLiquidity from the largest matching Base pool found by the market source, not a guarantee of executable depth or locked liquidity.
Holder concentrationObserved concentration from the reported holder sample, with known limitations around beneficial ownership.
Data qualityJepeta fails closed when required evidence is unknown rather than converting missing data into a reassuring result.

Why “not a honeypot” is not the same as “safe”

A token can be sellable and still have upgradeable permissions, minting risk, high taxes, shallow liquidity or concentrated holders. Market conditions and contract state can also change after a scan.

Jepeta rule: PASS means no configured WARN/BLOCK condition was observed in the available data at scan time. It is not a safety guarantee, probability of loss, audit or permission to trade.

How to check a Base token

  1. Copy the exact 42-character ERC-20 contract address. Do not rely on a ticker symbol.
  2. Run the address through the Jepeta Base scanner.
  3. Read the PASS / WARN / BLOCK result together with the raw signals and source status.
  4. For WARN or BLOCK, inspect the specific evidence rather than treating the score alone as the decision.
  5. Apply your own execution policy. Jepeta does not connect to your wallet or execute trades.

For autonomous agents

The free preview is a GET-only JSON endpoint, so an agent can place Jepeta between token resolution and its own execution policy.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check if a Base token is a honeypot?

Use the exact Base contract address and a current security source. Jepeta uses GoPlus as the required security source and adds market context from DEX Screener when available.

Does PASS mean the token is safe?

No. PASS is a screening result at one point in time. The underlying contract, liquidity and available data can change.

Does Jepeta need wallet access?

No. The free scanner is read-only. No wallet connection, signature or payment is required for the preview.
