How we check if APE is a scam

Our checker queries the live GoPlus Security on-chain audit for the APE contract and surfaces every red flag that matters for rug-pull risk:

• Honeypot detection — can you actually sell APE, or just buy it?
• Mint function — can the owner print unlimited new supply and dump on you?
• Owner balance changes — can the contract owner directly modify your balance?
• Hidden ownership — is the renounced status real or fake?
• LP lock status — is liquidity locked, or can it be pulled?
• Buy / sell tax — is there a tax trap baked into the contract?
• Source verification — is the code public so it can actually be audited?
