The creator has deployed honeypots before
The address that deployed this contract has also deployed tokens that were identified as honeypots.
Why it matters
The strongest signal available before anything has happened here: the same hands, the same pattern.

Why the deployer matters
Contracts are cheap to create and the same person can deploy hundreds. When an address has previously deployed tokens that trapped buyers, that is the strongest signal available before anything has happened on this one — the same hands, the same templates, often the same mistakes. It is not proof: large issuers and bridges also deploy many tokens from one address, which is why we weigh this differently for tokens that are exchange-listed or have real trading behind them.
What to check next
Open the deployer address on the block explorer and look at what else it created and what happened to those tokens. A wallet whose previous launches all went to zero within days is telling you what to expect from this one.
How to check it yourself
Everything we report can be verified without us. Open the contract on the block explorer for its chain, read the verified source if there is one, and look at the holders tab: who holds the supply, whether the pool tokens sit in a lock contract or a personal wallet. For market data, compare the pool size with how much actually trades — a pool nobody trades in is a number, not an exit.
If you are about to buy, the cheapest test is the smallest one: buy a tiny amount, then immediately try to sell it. A contract that blocks selling will tell you so for a few dollars instead of everything you were about to put in.
Questions
What does "The creator has deployed honeypots before" mean on a token?
The address that deployed this contract has also deployed tokens that were identified as honeypots. The strongest signal available before anything has happened here: the same hands, the same pattern.
Does it mean the token is a scam?
No. It is a property of the contract or a fact about the market, read from a public source at a point in time. It is the kind of property that blocks a buyer or hands someone control over your holding, which is why we treat it as blocking — but the word "scam" is a conclusion about people, and we do not make it.
Where do you read it from?
From contract analysis (GoPlus Security), which reads the deployed contract and its authorities directly on chain.
