Chain Token Safety
by Tanod chainpeek in Onchain & crypto
Use when an agent must decide whether an ERC-20 token on Base or Ethereum is safe to buy or interact with. Input: address, chain. Returns a verdict (high_risk, caution, no_major_flags_found, unknown) with reasons, honeypot simulation, tax and contract flags. Not an audit.
