# Security Audit

The Audit panel helps catch contract risks early, including tokens that fail on sell or behave like honeypots designed to trap funds.

## What the audit covers

For EVM tokens (Ethereum, Base, BSC), the audit runs a buy / sell / transfer simulation against the actual contract bytecode on the chain, plus a check on holder distribution and known risk patterns. It returns:

* A top-line verdict: **safe**, **honeypot**, or **unknown** (when the simulation itself didn't reach a confident answer).
* Buy, sell, and transfer tax rates.
* Specific flag(s) that fired (hidden owner, blacklist function, anti-whale modifier, ownership not renounced, low holder diversity, etc.).
* The pair the simulation was run against.

**Non-EVM tokens (Solana and others) display the panel as "unsupported"** - the audit is EVM-only today.

## Update cadence

Audit refreshes faster than the rest of the snapshot. The standard polling tick refreshes every section; the audit additionally re-runs on a mid-cycle tick so the verdict feels live alongside the chart. A freshly-renounced contract or a just-pulled liquidity pool is reflected within seconds rather than a full polling window.

## Limits

* **EVM only.** Solana, Tron, Monad, Blast, Abstract do not have audit coverage today.
* **No pair → no verdict.** If the token has no DEX pair the simulator can run against, the audit returns "no pair" rather than a false negative.
* **Verdict is upstream-derived.** Thesium surfaces the simulation result; it does not warranty it. A "safe" verdict means the buy/sell simulation succeeded under the simulator's conditions, not that the token is a good investment.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://thesium.gitbook.io/thesium-docs/feature-deep-dives/security-audit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
