Frequently Asked Questions
What is a honeypot token?
A honeypot is a malicious smart contract that lets you buy but blocks you from selling. Once you buy in, your funds are permanently trapped. They are one of the most common crypto scams.
Is this honeypot checker free?
Yes — honeypot detection is completely free on Guava. You can run a check on this page without signing up. Free accounts get 10 analyses per day. No credit card required.
Which blockchains are supported?
Guava checks EVM chains (Ethereum, BSC, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, Blast, zkSync, Linea, Scroll, Mantle, and more) using GoPlus Security, plus Solana via RugCheck.
How accurate is the detection?
We run 30+ security checks per token using GoPlus and RugCheck — the same engines trusted by major crypto exchanges and DeFi protocols.
What does a 'Critical' risk score mean?
A Critical score (50+) means multiple severe red flags were detected. You should avoid trading this token entirely.
What is a buy tax and sell tax?
Some tokens include hidden fees in their smart contract. A buy tax deducts a percentage when you purchase, and a sell tax deducts when you sell. Honeypot scams often have 0% buy tax but 90%+ sell tax, making it impossible to profit.
Can I check tokens on Solana?
Yes. Guava supports Solana token checks via RugCheck, which analyses mint authority, freeze authority, liquidity locks, and holder concentration. See our dedicated Solana Honeypot Checker page for more details.
What is a rug pull?
A rug pull is when token developers remove all liquidity from the DEX pool, making the token worthless. Guava checks whether liquidity is locked and flags unlocked liquidity as a major red flag.
Does Guava store my search history?
Your recent searches are stored locally in your browser for convenience. We do not share your search history with third parties.
What is the difference between GoPlus and RugCheck?
GoPlus Security is the leading EVM token security engine, covering Ethereum, BSC, Base, Arbitrum, and other EVM chains. RugCheck is the leading Solana token security engine. Guava uses both to provide multi-chain honeypot detection.
