The HostDeFi Safety Badge

A free badge that shows a token's stored HostDeFi grade — A+ to F, refreshed on the weekly data run and scored openly from on-chain data (authority flags, liquidity shape, holder structure) — and links your readers to the full risk read. No API key, no JavaScript required, no tracking. It helps your readers avoid honeypots, and it tells them you checked.

The fastest way to make yours is the badge builder — paste an address, copy the snippet. The raw pieces, for anyone wiring it by hand:

1 · SVG grade shield

A shields-style SVG showing the token's current grade (README, token page, forum post):

<a href="https://hostdefi.com/t/<CHAIN>/<TOKEN_ADDRESS>?via=badge">
  <img src="https://hostdefi.com/api/badge/<CHAIN>/<TOKEN_ADDRESS>.svg"
       alt="HostDeFi safety grade" height="20">
</a>

<CHAIN> is one of solana, ethereum, base, bsc, arbitrum, monad. For Solana links you can drop the chain segment from the /t/ URL. Tokens not yet in the graded corpus render an honest “not graded” shield — the badge never invents a score.

2 · Card (iframe)

A compact card with the grade, authority flags and liquidity, linking to the full report:

<iframe src="https://hostdefi.com/embed/badge/<CHAIN>/<TOKEN_ADDRESS>"
  style="border:0;width:100%;max-width:420px;height:72px"
  title="HostDeFi safety grade"></iframe>

3 · JSON (build your own UI)

curl https://hostdefi.com/api/token/<CHAIN>/<TOKEN_ADDRESS>.json

Same data, keyless and CORS-open. For live scans of ungraded tokens use the free scanner API — see the API docs (100 checks/day/IP, honest 429s).

Usage rules (short version)

Free for any site, commercial or not.
Don't alter the badge to imply a rating we didn't give — it renders the stored grade as of its last refresh; the data speaks.
A risk read is on-chain data, not financial advice.

Why we built it

Most token scams travel through content: a mention, a chart, a "just launched" post. A one-tap route to the contract's actual on-chain state — scored openly — makes every mention safer. Questions or a custom integration: @hostdefiapps.
