Danger signal

Extreme Sell Fee

Sell fee above 50% - borderline honeypot, the contract drains exits.

Analyzer: Swap Activity
Slug: extreme_sell_fee

What it means

More than half of every sell is captured by the contract. At this level the fee is indistinguishable from a honeypot, except that the funds aren't trapped - they're funneled to the operator.

Why it matters

Above 50% the math no longer favors any holder. Each sell directly enriches the operator. The token isn't a market, it's a one-way drain.

How RektRadar detects it

Same simulation delta as the other sell-fee bands, but above 50% the contract is taking more than half of every exit. At that level the fee is no longer a tax - it is the rug.
