Safety check
Open Safety from More, or go to /console/safety. Paste a coin mint or a wallet address.
The result is OK, Caution, or Danger, with the reasons. The console does not say a coin is safe. The best result is "No issues found in these checks. That is not a guarantee." The result lists what was not checked.
What a coin check reads
- Look-alikes. The name and ticker against
$OTCand the top OTC coins. Look-alike characters (0 and O, 1 and l) are folded together. - Token rules. Whether the mint has a transfer hook, separate from the launcher's Hooks field. See Hooks.
- Mint and freeze authority. Whether more of the token can still be printed, or accounts frozen.
- Concentration. The share held by the top 10 accounts.
- Age. When the first trading pair was created.
A wallet check reads when the address was first seen, whether it is a known OTC address, and whether the console has flagged the address.
Source, window, as of
From on-chain data and public DEX prices, as of the time shown next to the figure. The reads also use the console's own lists. A result is cached for 10 minutes per address and shows an as-of time. There is a limit of 20 checks per minute.
Image copying, off-chain messages, and later changes to the mint are not in these checks.
Check a link or address
The same page can check a link, an X handle, or an address against the official list. The list's as-of date is 2026-10-14. The check runs in the browser. The pasted value is not sent to the server.
- Official. It is on the list: otcdesks.cash, otcos.app, @otc_labs, @otcdotcash, @otcOSapp (temporarily unavailable), the
$OTCmint, and the desk collection address configured for that deployment. - staging.otcos.app is a non-public host. It is not an official site. The checker still recognizes that name.
- Not in our registry. It is not on the list. That is not a finding either way. A near-match of an official name gets an extra warning.
- Known scam. It is on the deny list. An entry is added from a confirmed report or from OTC's own warning.
