This automated check scanned the ARB contract on Ethereum and scored 13 out of 18, based on mechanics that were readable directly from the code and on-chain data as of the check date. A few things are worth translating into plain terms. The contract is an upgradeable proxy, which means the logic behind the token can be replaced by whoever controls the upgrade permissions — in practice, this gives that party the ability to change how the token behaves in the future, including potentially adding restrictions that don't exist today. No admin mint function, transfer pause, or address blacklist was detected, meaning the automated scan found no built-in mechanism for the contract owner to create new tokens at will, freeze transfers, or block specific wallets from moving funds. Buy and sell tax were both found to be 0%, and a transfer simulation indicated the token is sellable, meaning no honeypot behaviour was detected in this test. Source code is verified on the block explorer, which allows anyone to read the actual logic rather than relying on unverified bytecode. Two flags stand out as worth attention: top-10 wallets hold 61.4% of supply, which is a high concentration that could allow large holders to influence price through their own trading; and liquidity is not locked, meaning there is no on-chain guarantee preventing liquidity providers from withdrawing pooled funds.
It's important to be clear about what this check does not cover. This is a purely mechanical, automated read of the contract's code and current holder data — it says nothing about the team behind the token, its tokenomics or emission schedule, any legal structure, marketing claims, or the intent of whoever controls the upgrade keys or large holdings. A high score here does not mean the project is trustworthy, and flags found do not mean it is fraudulent; they simply describe what the contract can technically do.
Before putting money into any token, it's worth independently verifying who holds the upgrade and admin permissions on the proxy (for ARB specifically, this is typically controlled by a documented governance or multisig structure, which you should confirm directly), checking whether liquidity or supply distribution changes over time, reading any official documentation on token utility and unlock schedules, and looking at independent audits if available. Cross-referencing holder addresses on the block explorer and checking community discussion for reported issues are also reasonable next steps before forming a view.

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.
