15 / 18 On-chain Check Few risk indicators found
Checked 19 Aug 2026. This is the On-chain Check, not the ChainSift Score. It covers contract mechanics, holder concentration and source verification only — 18 points of the 100-point ChainSift Score.
Previous check: 16/18 on 19 Aug 2026 — the score changed after the contract's mechanics changed.

What this means

This automated check found no honeypot behaviour: a simulated transfer showed the token can be sold, and buy and sell taxes were both read as 0% from the contract at the time of the check. No admin minting function, transfer-pausing function, or address blacklisting function was detected in the contract code as it stands today. Together, these mean the contract does not currently give its owner an obvious on-chain mechanism to block a specific holder from selling, freeze transfers network-wide, or dilute supply through hidden minting. The contract does use an upgradeable proxy pattern, which means the logic behind the token can be swapped out by whoever controls the upgrade key — in practice, this means functions like taxes, transfer rules, or minting could be altered after the fact, even if today's code looks clean. Contract source is verified on the block explorer, so the deployed code can be read by anyone, and top-10 wallets were found to hold 43% of supply, which is a concentration level that could allow coordinated large sells to move the market. Liquidity was found to not be locked at the time of the check, meaning whoever provided it retains the ability to withdraw it.

It's worth being clear about what this check does not cover. It only reads contract mechanics as they existed on the date of the check — it says nothing about the team behind the project, how tokens are allocated or scheduled to unlock, whether there's a registered legal entity behind it, or what the people controlling the upgrade key or the 43% intend to do. A contract can score well on mechanics and still carry risk from off-chain decisions, and conversely a lower mechanical score doesn't mean malicious intent. No human has reviewed this token; the findings above come entirely from automated analysis of contract code and on-chain data.

Before putting money in, it would be reasonable to look into who holds the proxy admin or upgrade key and whether it sits behind a multisig or timelock, since that affects how much unilateral power exists over the contract's future behaviour. It's also worth checking where the top-10 holder addresses sit — exchange wallets, treasury, or team allocations behave differently from unrelated large individual holders. Looking at where liquidity actually sits, who provided it, and on which venues, would clarify the practical risk of it being withdrawn. Finally, reviewing any public documentation, audits, or governance structure the project has published, separately from this contract-level check, would fill in the parts this tool doesn't assess.

What this check does not cover. Who the team is and whether their claims hold up, how the token is distributed and unlocked, and whether a legal entity exists behind the project — none of that is assessed here. A clean contract run by people who never intended to deliver is the most common way money is lost, and no automated check catches it. Those three categories make up the remaining 82 points of the ChainSift Score.
