Why pay when the scanners are free?

Because they answer a different question.

Free scanners read the contract. That’s a real check and we run it too — free, no account, in seconds.

But most people don’t lose money to a hostile contract. They lose it to a clean contract run by a project whose claims don’t hold up.

So we check the claims.

That takes hours per project. You won’t do it. We already did.

You don’t have to take our word for it

Every report we’ve ever produced stays public, including the ones that make us look bad. Twice we have withdrawn our own reports before anyone complained: in August, when our numbers didn’t reproduce, and in October, when our method turned out to count pages it couldn’t find as documents that don’t exist. It’s all here: chainsift.org/corrections

Run the free check first. If it answers your question, you owe us nothing.

What we do

ChainSift looks at crypto projects the way a skeptical investor would — team background, tokenomics, technical credibility, red flags, and legal structure. Below is everything we offer, free and paid, in one place.

Free

No payment, no account, no email.

Guides — free

25 plain-language explainers: what an audit actually checks, how to read a whitepaper, how to spot a honeypot, why an anonymous team isn't automatically a scam. If a guide answers your question, you don't need to buy anything.

Discord bot: /audit — free

Drop a contract address in your Discord server and see what the contract shows — source verification, honeypot, buy/sell tax, mint rights, liquidity lock, holder concentration. Add the bot to your server and it works for everyone in it.

Contract Watch — three contracts free

A check tells you what's true today. Watching tells you when that stops being true. Three contracts watched free, forever.

Paid

One-time reports are delivered as a PDF to your email within 24 hours of confirmed payment. Subscriptions renew every 30 days and can be cancelled any time.

Request a deep check — $49 USDT

Name, URL or contract address — we investigate all five categories and publish the result publicly and free. You are paying for the question to be asked, not for private access to the answer.

Pro — $19/month USDT

Raises the free tier from three contracts to 25. You get a Discord DM the moment a watched contract turns hostile — honeypot switched on, taxes raised, liquidity unlocked, minting enabled.

Not sure you need either? The guides show what you can check yourself — often the answer is that you don't need us at all.

$1,000 into the wrong project costs you $1,000. Finding out first costs $49.

You get a short read in plain language: what the project claims, what holds up, what doesn’t, and what it left off the front page. Not a score sheet — the things that would have made you close the tab.

What you avoid is the evening you would have spent checking it yourself: looking for the audit that is referenced but not published, working out who the team actually is, reading the unlock schedule. Hours per project, and most people never do it.

published publicly
Your report is published publicly and free of charge once it is ready. You are paying for the investigation to happen, not for exclusive access to it. We never disclose who requested a report.

Sample report: Synths (SYNTHS), an AI-agent launchpad token on Robinhood Chain, checked on 15 October 2026. The eleven samples we ran in August 2026 are withdrawn — here is why.

Any one of the three is enough. A contract address gives the strongest report — we read it directly from the chain, and those facts override whatever the project's website claims.

Contract Watch

A contract check tells you what's true right now. It says nothing about tomorrow — and the owner of a token contract can change it after you've checked. Taxes get raised, liquidity gets unlocked, minting gets switched on. Contract Watch keeps looking, and messages you the moment something material changes.

Three contracts are free. Add our bot to your server and run /watch — no payment, no account. This subscription raises the limit from 3 contracts to 25.

You get a direct message when any of these flips:

  • the token becomes a honeypot — selling stops working
  • sell or buy tax is raised by 5 points or more
  • liquidity is unlocked after having been locked
  • minting is enabled — the owner can print more supply
  • the contract source stops being verified
  • the owner's share jumps by 10 points or more

Alerts arrive as a Discord DM, so we need your Discord user ID. In Discord: Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode, then right-click your own name and pick Copy User ID. Keep DMs from server members open, or the bot cannot reach you.
