New Contract Deployment Risk Score

WHAT IT DOES

New Contract Deployment Risk Score calculates a risk score (0-100) for newly deployed contracts before you interact. The tool reads the contract's creation timestamp, creator address, bytecode, and interaction history, then evaluates four risk factors: age (how old the contract is), creator history (whether the creator has unusual patterns), code patterns (presence of scam signatures like selfdestruct, onlyowner, delegatecall, mint), and interaction frequency (whether the contract has been used). It then calculates a total risk score and classifies it as Low, Medium, High, or Critical. The tool then uses AI to generate a plain-language explanation of the risk score: what the score means, what factors contributed to it, and the most concerning patterns. Results include a risk level, total score, score breakdown, flags, and a comprehensive AI-generated explanation. The tool operates entirely read-only — no transactions are sent, no signatures are required. The AI assessment is designed to help you identify high-risk contracts before you interact with them.

HOW TO USE

Connect your EVM wallet using the "Connect" button in the header. Select the network where the contract is deployed from the dropdown menu. Enter the contract address you wish to assess. Optionally enter the contract name if you know it. Click "Calculate risk score" to begin the analysis. The tool reads the contract's creation data, bytecode, and interaction history, calculates the risk score across four factors, and sends the data to the AI for a plain-English risk explanation. Results appear within seconds, showing the contract address, chain, risk level, total score, score breakdown, flags, and a comprehensive AI-generated explanation written in clear, conversational language.

RISK SCORE CALCULATION AND FACTOR WEIGHTING

The tool uses a weighted scoring system to calculate contract risk. The age factor (0-30 points) evaluates contract age: less than 24 hours (30 points), less than 3 days (25 points), less than 7 days (20 points), less than 30 days (12 points), less than 90 days (5 points), over 90 days (0 points). The creator history factor (0-25 points) checks for suspicious creator patterns: addresses with 0000, ffff, or aaaa patterns (20 points), creators with multiple recent deployments (15 points), otherwise (5 points). The code patterns factor (0-25 points) scans for scam signatures: selfdestruct, suicide, delegatecall, onlyowner, onlyadmin, mint (5 points each, max 25). The interaction frequency factor (0-20 points) evaluates usage: fewer than 10 interactions (15 points), fewer than 50 interactions (8 points), otherwise (0 points). The total score is the sum of all factors (0-100). The risk level is determined by the score: Critical (70+), High (50-69), Medium (30-49), Low (0-29). The AI receives all this data and is prompted to explain the risk score in plain language — stating what the score means, what factors contributed to it, and the most concerning patterns. The AI is also instructed to state plainly what it cannot verify — that it calculates risk based on on-chain signals and patterns, not the contract's off-chain intent, future behavior, or the creator's identity.

WHAT IT CANNOT SEE

This tool cannot definitively determine if a new contract is malicious — only calculates a risk score based on on-chain signals. It cannot detect off-chain coordination or malicious intent not reflected in on-chain data — a contract that scores low could still be malicious. The tool cannot predict future behavior — a contract that is safe today could become malicious later. Legitimate contracts may score high due to unusual but valid patterns — a legitimate contract may use delegatecall or mint functions. The tool cannot verify the identity or trustworthiness of the contract creator — it only reads the creator address. The tool cannot detect if the contract has been verified or audited. The tool cannot detect if the contract is a copy of a legitimate contract. The tool cannot predict the future security of the contract. The tool cannot verify that the creation timestamp is accurate.

PLEASE NOTE

New Contract Deployment Risk Score supports EVM-compatible chains only (Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, and others). The tool is read-only and never requests wallet signatures or transaction approvals. Risk scores are AI-generated from on-chain data — always verify contract legitimacy through block explorers, official documentation, and independent research before interacting. The AI assessment is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or legal advice. A high risk score does not guarantee a contract is malicious — it should prompt additional caution and due diligence before you interact with it.
