Maiat Token Safety Check

Goal

Before swapping or buying any ERC-20 token, verify it's not a honeypot, high-tax scam, or rug pull.

Prerequisites

• MoonPay CLI installed: npm install -g @moonpay/cli
• A funded wallet on Base (for x402 paid endpoints): mp wallet create

Free API

curl "https://app.maiat.io/api/v1/token/<contract_address>"

x402 Paid API ($0.01 USDC on Base)

Using MoonPay CLI:

mp x402 request \
  --method GET \
  --url "https://app.maiat.io/api/x402/token-check?address=<contract_address>" \
  --wallet <wallet-name> \
  --chain base

Response

{
  "address": "0x...",
  "verdict": "proceed",
  "trustScore": 85,
  "riskFlags": [],
  "riskSummary": "Token appears safe based on analysis."
}

For suspicious tokens, run Wadjet ML analysis:

mp x402 request \
  --method POST \
  --url "https://app.maiat.io/api/x402/token-forensics" \
  --body '{"projectName": "<token_name>"}' \
  --wallet <wallet-name> \
  --chain base

When to use

• Before swapping into any unknown token
• Before adding liquidity to a new pool
• When a user asks to buy a meme coin
• $0.01 is cheaper than losing funds to a rug pull
