​
Scan a token

Protos pulls live liquidity, volume, and trading data from DexScreener and returns a risk score from LOW to CRITICAL, along with the specific flags that drove it.

​
Risk flags

The overall score weighs these together — a possible honeypot or sub-$10K liquidity is always CRITICAL, regardless of anything else.

​
Bare symbols vs contract addresses

A bare symbol like pepe resolves via DexScreener search, which ranks by market cap and filters out obvious wash-traded pools. For frequently-impersonated tickers, paste the actual contract address if you want certainty — Protos will always scan the exact token you give it.

​
Transaction-level safety

Paste any transaction hash and Protos decodes it. If the transaction is an approve() call granting an unlimited (or near-unlimited) allowance, Protos flags it explicitly — that’s the pattern behind most wallet-drainer exploits.
This works across all 10 chains Protos’s address/transaction lookup covers: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BSC, Avalanche, zkSync, Linea, and Gnosis.

​
What this doesn’t cover yet

Token safety scanning is per-token, on demand — it does not currently scan your wallet’s existing approvals to find ones you should revoke. If that’s what you’re looking for, ask Protos directly; it’s an active area of work.
