✅ Before You Buy Checklist

Scan the contract on CryptoSafe

Takes 10 seconds. Could save your entire investment.

Is the contract code verified (public)?

If you can't see the code, you can't trust it.

Is liquidity locked? For how long?

Unlocked liquidity = the creator can drain the pool (rug pull) anytime.

How old is the token?

Over 90% of tokens less than 24 hours old are scams.

Who holds the tokens?

If 5 wallets hold 80%+ of supply, they control the price.

Does the project have a real website?

Check domain age. Scam sites are usually days old.

Are there real social media accounts?

Check follower count, post history, engagement. Bots are obvious.

Can you actually sell after buying?

Honeypots let you buy but block you from selling. Literally a trap.

What are the buy/sell taxes?

Anything over 10% is suspicious. Over 30% is almost certainly a scam.

Did someone online tell you about this?

If someone you met on social media or dating apps is pushing an investment — it's a pig butchering scam.
