Read a pool before trading
Four checks that take under a minute.
- Identity: a token is its address plus its chain. Ignore tickers.
- Hook: paste the hook address into the scanner. Count the delta flags. A Rule Craft pool points at RuleCraftHook, mask 0x20C4.
- Rules: a Rule Craft pool page reads the exact rules back from the hook, including whether the Snipe Guard is still on.
- Exits: check whether the founding liquidity is locked and until when.
If a pool's hook has beforeSwapReturnDelta or afterSwapReturnDelta set and you cannot read what it does, assume it can take a large share of your trade.
