# RektRadar

> Free Ethereum scam detector. Paste any ERC-20 contract address and get an instant 0-100 risk score from 80+ on-chain signals : honeypot simulation, rug-pull detection, bytecode analysis, deployer wallet forensics, liquidity checks, and brand-jack identification across 78,000+ analyzed tokens.

RektRadar is a real-time Ethereum mainnet on-chain intelligence platform focused on identifying rug pulls, honeypots, and brand-jacked tokens before users buy them. The system runs on 3 dedicated Ethereum nodes (one mainnet + two mempool shards) with 8 independent analyzers, scoring every new ERC-20 contract within seconds of deployment. The free tier offers unlimited address lookups with no signup required; premium tiers add forensic reports, mempool alerts, and graph clustering.

The platform is built and maintained by a single developer ([@mik3fly__](https://x.com/mik3fly__)) and is openly documented — every risk signal is explained at [/signals/](https://rektradar.io/signals/), the methodology is published at [/blog/posts/inside-the-analyzer-52-signals-8-dimensions/](https://rektradar.io/blog/posts/inside-the-analyzer-52-signals-8-dimensions/), and the construction history (16 weeks, 27 repos, 7728 commits) is documented at [/blog/posts/16-weeks-27-repos-7728-commits/](https://rektradar.io/blog/posts/16-weeks-27-repos-7728-commits/).
