ScanMurai is a multi-chain token scanner and risk analysis tool designed for cryptocurrency traders. Delivered as a free-to-use browser extension, it automatically or manually scans token smart contracts to identify potential risks such as rug pulls, honeypots, and malicious code. The tool provides a summarized analysis to help users make more informed investment decisions. ^[1]​

Overview

ScanMurai is positioned as a safety tool for participants in the cryptocurrency market, particularly those involved in high-risk trading often referred to as "aping." Its stated goal is to "detect token risks before you ape in." ^[1] The project's tagline, "Ape Safer, Together," reflects its focus on this segment of the trading community. ^{[1] [2]}​

The tool functions by inspecting a token's smart contract code, ownership structure, liquidity, and trading rules. It flags potential issues related to ownership centralization, hidden contract functions, and trading restrictions. The analysis is presented to the user through the browser extension, highlighting specific risks to inform their trading decisions. ScanMurai operates on a free-to-use model and does not require user sign-in. According to its privacy information, scans are "stateless," and the company does not store user wallet data. ^[1]​

History

ScanMurai's public presence can be traced back to June 2025, when its official account on X (formerly Twitter), was created. ^[2] The project's X profile lists its location as Dubai, UAE. ^[2] As of early 2026, the X profile showed a count of over 100 posts, but no posts were publicly visible on its main feed, suggesting the account was either being prepared for a public launch, had its posts protected, or previous content had been removed. ^[2]​

Functionality

ScanMurai is designed to provide real-time risk analysis of cryptocurrency tokens by examining their underlying smart contracts and on-chain data. It utilizes over 50 static and runtime detectors to conduct its analysis. ^[1]​

Token Analysis Process

The user workflow for analyzing a token with ScanMurai follows a four-step process: ^[1]​

1. Token Detection: Users can either paste a token's contract address directly into the tool, or the browser extension can automatically detect the token contract being viewed on a supported web page.
2. Instant Analysis: The tool runs a comprehensive series of checks on the token's contract across its supported blockchains.
3. Flagged Issues: ScanMurai provides a summary report that highlights potential risks and specific issues it has detected. Examples of flagged issues include "Total Ownership Centralization" and "Bundled activity."
4. Decision Support: The analysis intends to reveal potential risks, allowing the user to make a decision on whether to proceed with an investment, avoid the token, or adjust their trading strategy based on the findings.

Analysis Vectors

ScanMurai's analysis covers multiple facets of a token and its smart contract to identify potential vulnerabilities or malicious designs. The key areas of analysis include over 4,500 specific checks related to ownership, minting functions, and liquidity pool sanity. ^[1]​

Ownership and Control

This category focuses on who controls the contract and what powers they hold.

• Ownership Analysis: Identifies the concentration of ownership and flags conditions such as "Total Ownership Centralization."
• Access Control: Checks for the implementation of a blacklist or whitelist function within the contract, which could be used to restrict certain users from trading.
• Minting Functions: Inspects the contract for "stealth mint switches" or other hidden functions that would allow for the creation of new tokens, potentially diluting the value for existing holders. ^[1]

Trading and Liquidity

This area examines the rules governing the buying and selling of the token.

• Trading Taxes: Analyzes buy and sell taxes and flags any that are considered "dangerous taxes," such as those that are excessively high or can be changed arbitrarily.
• Honeypot Detection: Scans for code or behaviors consistent with a honeypot, a type of scam where a user can buy a token but is unable to sell it. The tool also looks for other "fee traps." The website claims "2.5x Honeypot & fee traps detection," although the benchmark for this comparison is not specified.
• Trading Blocks: Identifies mechanisms within the contract that could be used to halt trading.
• Liquidity Logic: Inspects the contract's liquidity pool logic for potential risks. ^[1]

Holder and Transaction Analysis

This analysis provides insights into the token's holder distribution and early transaction patterns.

• First Buyers Analytics: Examines the wallets that were the first to purchase the token.
• Sniping Activity: Analyzes transactions for signs of bot activity, such as sniping bots that attempt to buy tokens immediately upon launch.
• Bundled Activity: Detects suspicious patterns of bundled transactions that may indicate coordinated manipulation. ^[1]

Contract Integrity

ScanMurai inspects the underlying smart contract code for structural risks and non-standard implementations. This involves a deep dive into the contract's code paths to uncover hidden or potentially malicious functions. ^[1]​
