Flagged: what the scanners actually measure

Within days of existing, BYKO was flagged.

MetaMask, via Blockaid: "Low locked liquidity" and "Unstable price". Base app: "Flagged as a scam" — with no button anywhere to dispute it.

So I ran the token through the scanners myself. GoPlus: not a honeypot, open source, zero tax. De.Fi: no rug-pull risk. honeypot.is: clean. RugCheck scored it 28 out of 100 — and the breakdown is the interesting part: the contract itself passed everything, the points were lost on Pool size, Transactions and Creation date. Translated: the token is small and new. Not dangerous — small.

That is the actual finding. The automated verdict everyone reads as "is this safe?" mostly answers a different question: "is this big?"

Since then MetaMask has dropped the liquidity flag — the LP tokens were burned, and that one is now measurably false. "Unstable price" stays; in a $150 pool it's not wrong. Base app still says scam, and as of 11 August has removed BYKO from portfolio view entirely.

The appeal channels exist, they are just not where you'd look: report.blockaid.io/mistake, a report form inside MetaMask, security@coinbase.com.
