Zero-Balance Deployer

The deploying wallet holds no ETH - a disposable, single-use address.

Analyzer: Network Graph
Slug: zero_balance

What it means

A deployer with a zero ETH balance is typically a throwaway wallet funded just enough to deploy, then abandoned. It is the opposite of a deployer with a real, ongoing on-chain footprint.

Why it matters

Disposable deployers exist to sever the link between a scam and its operator. On its own a low-severity hint, but combined with fresh-wallet and funding-hub signals it paints the picture of a single-use scam launch.

How RektRadar detects it

RektRadar reads the deployer's current ETH balance from its node and flags wallets sitting at zero.
