Crypto safety starts at the address, not the ticker. This page is the short version of the fields Kedge Alert reads.
Not an audit. Not a score we cannot compute.
A ticker is letters people put on a chart: USDC, WETH, or whatever four-letter word is trending. Anyone can reuse those letters.
A token contract is a 0x address on a chain. That is what you actually hold or swap. Two contracts can share a ticker and have nothing else in common.
Kedge Alert watches the address you paste. We do not watch a name.
Some contracts have an owner key. That key can change fees, pause trading, mint, or blacklist wallets — if the code allows it.
Renounced means the source says that key is gone. Hidden means we cannot see who controls it. Set means there is an owner address.
A flip matters because the rules of the token just changed. Renounced to an owner. An owner appearing after none. That is an email, not a score.
Mint is a function that creates new tokens. If it is on, supply can rise without you buying anything.
A flip from no mint to mint is the alert. We do not guess what that does to price. Dilution is a contract fact. Price is not.
Buy tax and sell tax are fees taken in the swap. They can be raised after you are in, if an owner still controls them.
A honeypot lets you buy and then blocks or breaks the sell. Public scanners try to flag that. They miss, lag, and go down.
Unavailable is not a pass. We show the field as missing and we do not invent a clean bill.
On a DEX, liquidity lives in a pool. The LP tokens are a claim on that pool. If they are unlocked, someone can pull the pool.
A lock is only a lock when a source reports one — percent, locker, unlock date. We do not invent a lock. We do not treat “looks locked” as locked.
A CEX listing is a different setup. The venue holds inventory. That is not a DEX LP lock. We still watch the contract fields we can read. We do not treat a listing as safety.
Same symbol, different 0x address, same chain. That is a clone warning. It is common.
It is not proof of a scam and it is not uniqueness. It means: check the address, not the letters on the chart.
Paste an address. Get a snapshot. Confirm the email. Get mailed if those fields get worse. Free is one live watch. Pro is $9/mo for 10. Team is $29/mo for 50.
Step 1
Contract on Base or Ethereum, plus an email you control. Base is the default.
Step 2
We pull public sources and show ownership, mint, tax, honeypot, pause, blacklist, LP lock, verified, and proxy — when those APIs answer.
Step 3
Alerts stay off until you click the link. We will not email that inbox otherwise.
Step 4
If a watched field flips the wrong way, we send another email. We do not mail on price.
