This automated check looked at PENGU's contract mechanics on Ethereum and scored 16 out of 18, with no honeypot behaviour detected at the time of the check. In practical terms, that means the contract does not currently contain code that would let an owner mint new tokens at will, freeze or blacklist specific wallets, pause transfers, or route the contract through an upgradeable proxy that could change its rules later. A test transfer confirmed the token can be sold, and no buy or sell tax data was found, meaning no evidence of a hidden fee being taken on trades was detected — though the absence of data is not the same as a confirmed zero. The contract's source code is verified on the block explorer, which means the actual code is publicly readable rather than hidden, letting anyone (including automated tools like this one) inspect what it does.
Two findings stand out as worth weighing carefully. Liquidity is not locked, which means whoever controls the liquidity pool retains the technical ability to withdraw it, potentially affecting the ability to sell at a given price. Separately, the top 10 holders control 48.9% of supply, a concentration level that means a small number of wallets could move a large amount of the token at once, which can affect price stability. Neither of these is a defect in the code itself, but both describe conditions that affect risk.
It's important to be clear about what this check does not cover. It only reads what the smart contract can technically do — it says nothing about who the team behind PENGU is, whether their stated plans or roadmap will be followed, how tokenomics are designed to play out over time, or whether any legal or regulatory structure applies to the project. No human has reviewed this token, and this check cannot assess intent, reputation, or future conduct — only current contract mechanics as of the date checked.
Before putting money in, it's worth independently verifying who controls the liquidity pool and whether there are any public statements or plans about locking it, looking at the wallet addresses behind the top holders to see if any are known exchange or team wallets rather than independent holders, checking whether the project has any official communication channels or documentation you can verify directly, and reviewing recent transaction activity on the block explorer yourself. None of this should be treated as a recommendation to buy or sell — it's simply a starting point for your own research.

We checked 18 points out of 100.
The other 82 are where money is usually lost: who the team is, where the tokens sit, what the documents actually say, and what the project chose not to put on its front page.
