Honeypot.is review

Buy and sell simulation for EVM tokens#S09EVM

The narrowest tool of the series and the one with the fewest excuses: it actually buys and sells the token for you and reports the result, with buy, sell and transfer taxes, gas, the honeypot reason, open-source and proxy flags, and the pair's liquidity. Three chains only, and nothing about holders or wallets.

Price: Free · public API, no keyFree and open: no account, and the v2 API answers without a key. A live call returned the full simulation, including taxes, gas, contract flags and pair liquidity.

Chains: Ethereum, BSC, Base
What it needs from you: Nothing to connect: paste an address, or call the API. The simulation runs on the chain, not from your wallet.
New-user perk: None documented
Usage signal: Not published

Who it’s for

Pick it if

You are about to buy on BSC, Ethereum or Base and want the one answer that matters: can I sell it?

Skip it if

You trade Solana, or you want holder concentration and wallet clustering.

Strengths

A real simulation: buy and sell are executed and the taxes and gas of both legs are returned.
A summary with a risk level and flags, next to the contract flags (open source, root open source, proxy, proxy calls).
Public API without a key, so a script can check a whole list before you go near it.
Telegram bot for a check from the phone.

Limits

Only Ethereum, BSC and Base, with no Solana coverage at all.
No holder concentration, no wallet clustering, no creator history, no alerts.
The site looks frozen (static pages, 2024 copyright), and its own wording warns a clean result today does not guarantee it stays clean.

How to start safely

Open the official site
Type honeypot.is yourself or use a bookmark: scam copies of popular scanners exist too.
Paste the token address
Use the contract address from the launchpad or the DEX pair, never a ticker: dozens of tokens share a name.
Read the red flags first
Mint or freeze authority still active, unlocked liquidity, a few wallets holding most of the supply, snipers and linked wallets.
Cross-check before you buy
Confirm on a second scanner and on the chain explorer, look at who is buying with a wallet tracker, then size the trade small.
