Ethereum rug checker.
Before you ape.

Ethereum is the most liquid DeFi ecosystem — and a prime target for sophisticated exit scams, fake tokens, and proxy contract exploits.

What we check

Every signal that matters on Ethereum.

ETH scams tend to be more sophisticated than BSC: proxy upgrade contracts that change logic post-launch, fake token impersonation, and whale concentration dumps disguised as market corrections.

  • Fake token detection

    Tokens that impersonate real projects (fake USDT, fake PEPE) are caught via GoPlus's fake token registry and flagged as critical.

  • Proxy contract risk

    Proxy contracts allow the owner to swap out contract logic after launch. We flag them and check whether the owner is renounced.

  • Source code verification

    Unverified contracts hide functionality. We check Etherscan verification status and penalize closed-source tokens.

  • Deployer wallet analysis

    We pull the deployer's full on-chain history — malicious contracts created, links to cybercrime, phishing, and money laundering flagged by GoPlus.

  • Holder concentration

    Whale concentration on Ethereum can disguise itself as protocol holdings. We strip out DEX contracts and burn addresses before scoring.

  • Contract age

    New contracts under 24h old carry elevated penalties. Most Ethereum exit scams happen in the first 72 hours of trading.

How to use it

Scan any Ethereum token in seconds.

01

Copy the contract address

Find the token on DEXScreener or a Ethereum explorer. Copy the contract address — not the pair address.

02

Paste into DexScanner

Drop the address into the scanner. We detect the chain automatically — no need to select it manually.

03

Read the risk score

A 0–100 score with plain-English signals. Green is safe. Red means check the signals before you buy anything.

FAQ

Ethereum token safety — common questions.

  • How do I check an Ethereum token for scams?

    Paste the ERC-20 contract address into DexScanner. We check honeypot status, contract source verification, proxy upgrades, deployer history, and holder concentration — all in one scan.

  • What is a proxy contract risk on Ethereum?

    A proxy contract separates the storage layer from the logic layer. The owner can upgrade the logic post-launch — effectively changing the token's rules without redeploying. DexScanner flags proxy contracts and reports whether ownership has been renounced.

  • How are fake tokens detected on Ethereum?

    GoPlus maintains a registry of tokens that impersonate established projects. DexScanner checks this and returns an instant critical flag if the token is a known impersonator.

  • Does DexScanner work with all Ethereum tokens?

    Yes — any ERC-20 with a deployed contract address. Paste the address and DexScanner identifies the chain automatically.
