STON.fi Explained How Suspicious Tokens Are Flagged

The team behind explained how the platform’s token labeling system works for non-standard assets. Its main goal is to help users better understand potential risks before interacting with tokens while still preserving the principles of decentralization.

Why It Matters

In DeFi, anyone can create a token. Because of this, the ecosystem includes not only legitimate projects, but also:

• fake tokens;
• honeypot schemes;
• tokens with hidden fees;
• assets using copied brands or names.

To reduce risks for users, STON.fi implemented a system of warning labels for suspicious assets.

Types of Labels Used on STON.fi

Fake

A token that imitates a well-known asset, brand, or project.

Honeypot

A token that can be bought but is difficult or impossible to sell.

Taxable

The smart contract charges an additional fee during swaps.

Suspicious

A token with questionable or potentially risky characteristics.

DMCA Notice

An asset associated with a copyright infringement complaint.

Restrictions for Flagged Tokens

Tokens with these labels cannot be found through the standard platform search. To access them, users must manually enter the contract address, reducing the risk of accidentally interacting with suspicious assets.

At the same time, tokens marked as Fake or Honeypot are completely unavailable for trading on STON.fi.

Taxable tokens are only supported under certain conditions. For example, transfer fees must not exceed 10%.
