Danger signal Roadmap

This detection is documented but not yet emitted by the live pipeline - it is on the roadmap, so you will not see it on analyzed tokens yet.

Extreme Hardcoded Sell Fee

The verified source hardcodes a near-total sell tax (90%+), so selling burns almost the entire position.

Analyzer: Source-Code Analysis
Slug: extreme_hardcoded_sell_fee

What it means

The contract's Solidity source sets a sell fee or sell tax to a near-total value (90% or more, or 9000+ basis points) directly in the code. Buying works; selling returns almost nothing because the tax eats the position.

Why it matters

This is honeypot-by-fee: the token is technically sellable, so a naive sell test may pass, but a 95% sell tax means the trader gets back five cents on the dollar. It is a slow-bleed rug that looks like a working token until you try to exit with real size.

How RektRadar detects it

When the source is verified, RektRadar scans it for a hardcoded sell fee at or above 90% (or 9000 basis points). The high threshold avoids false positives on legitimate basis-point fees. It complements the live buy/sell simulation, catching the static case even when simulation is unavailable.

Detected on 1 token in our dataset so far, 1 classified scam. Sample still small - a reliable scam rate needs more occurrences.
