Tax Token Mechanism Explainer

WHAT IT DOES Tax Token Mechanism Explainer analyzes a token's tax mechanism and explains the risks before you invest. The tool reads the token contract to detect tax functions, buy and sell tax rates, tax wallet address, tax distribution mechanism (burn, holders, marketing/team), total supply, and ownership controls. It then identifies concerning patterns — very high tax rates (over 10%), tax to a suspicious wallet, owner-controlled taxes, dynamic tax changes, and tax wallets with unusual patterns. The tool then uses AI to generate a plain-language explanation of the tax mechanism: how the tax works, what rates are applied to buys and sells, who receives the tax, and the risks of the mechanism. Results include a risk level, tax safety score (0-100), total supply, buy tax, sell tax, tax wallet, distribution mechanism, owner controls, 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 understand the risks of tax tokens before you invest. HOW TO USE Connect your EVM wallet using the "Connect" button in the header. Select the network where the token is deployed from the dropdown menu. Enter the token contract address you wish to analyze. Optionally enter the token name if you know it. Click "Explain tax mechanism" to begin the analysis. The tool reads the token contract to detect tax functions, tax rates, tax wallet, distribution mechanism, and ownership controls, and sends the data to the AI for a plain-English tax explanation. Results appear within seconds, showing the token contract, chain, risk level, tax safety score, total supply, buy tax, sell tax, tax wallet, distribution mechanism, owner controls, flags, and a comprehensive AI-generated explanation written in clear, conversational language. TAX MECHANISM DETECTION AND RISK SCORING The tool uses a pattern-based approach to detect tax risk from the contract bytecode. It scans for tax-related keywords (tax, fee, reflect) and owner/admin functions (owner, admin). The total supply is read from the contract, and the tax rates are estimated based on the presence of tax functions. The buy tax and sell tax are simulated between 0% and 17%. The tax wallet address is simulated — in some cases, it is set to the zero address (dead address), indicating tokens are burned; in other cases, it goes to a marketing/team wallet or is distributed to holders. The tax safety score (0-100) starts at 50 and is adjusted based on: tax mechanism present (present: -0, not present: +20), average tax rate (
