Anyone who’s seasoned in the DeFi and broader crypto markets knows just how risky investing can get. From infamous scams like SquidGrow and Terra Luna to the collapse of FTX, it’s no surprise that the retail sentiment around crypto has turned sour. What’s important to note however is that 99% of the time, DeFi tokens designed to scam can be detected far before you fall a victim.

Thanks to this new integration, you can check nearly all key functions and features of a token to ensure safety in your crypto endeavors.

GoPlus offers an impressive amount of analytics, here are some to pay attention to and what exactly they mean

• Whitelist: If a token has a whitelist function, then the creator of the token can delegate certain wallets permissions to interact with the token in a different way than the public. Commonly, whitelisted wallets will have no tax, max transaction, or max wallet applied to them, while all other wallets follow those restrictions.

• Tax Modifiable: Tax modifiable refers to the token creator's ability to change the token taxes in real-time. While this isn’t always a bad thing, sometimes it can be used to ‘honeypot’ tokens after they’re already live

• Honeypot: The term honeypot in crypto refers to when you can buy, but not sell a token. When you see that a token is a honeypot, you know to stay away from this common scam technique as you will not be able to exit your position.
