How to Check Token Contract Risk on Starknet
What to inspect before interacting with an unfamiliar token contract or liquidity pool.
Why this matters on Starknet
A token's name and ticker are easy to copy. The contract address, trading behavior, permissions, liquidity, and source of the token are much stronger signals when evaluating risk.
Starknet uses its own account and smart-contract environment, which differs from standard EVM networks.
Starknet does not follow standard EVM conventions. Address formats, token identifiers and approval mechanics differ, so EVM-oriented checklists and tools should only be applied to Starknet after confirming they are supported.
Starknet: what to pay attention to
- Security: Do not assume EVM contract and wallet conventions apply directly.
- Assets and tokens: Verify Starknet-specific asset and account details.
- Costs: Check the current network cost and route mechanics before moving small balances.
A Starknet checklist for this topic

- Read what a Starknet transaction or signature request actually authorizes before approving it.
- Treat unexpected tokens or links that appear in a Starknet wallet as untrusted until verified.
- Review and revoke permissions you no longer use on Starknet, especially unlimited approvals.
