ZARQ vs Token Sniffer

Bottom line: Token Sniffer tells you if a smart contract has malicious code. ZARQ tells you if the token's structural foundation is cracking. They solve different problems: Token Sniffer catches scams at the contract level, while ZARQ predicts structural collapse using quantitative risk modeling. For a complete risk picture, use both.

ZARQ

Structural Risk Intelligence

ZARQ is an independent crypto risk intelligence platform. It uses a 7-signal structural risk model with Distance-to-Default (NDD), crash probability prediction, and Moody's-style letter ratings (Aaa through D). 198 tokens scored daily with 100% recall on structural collapse and 98% precision. Hash-chained audit trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ZARQ and Token Sniffer?

Token Sniffer focuses on scanning smart contract code for honeypots, rug pulls, and known scam patterns. ZARQ uses a 7-signal structural risk model with Distance-to-Default (NDD) to predict token collapse. Token Sniffer checks the code; ZARQ assesses fundamental structural health.

Does ZARQ detect rug pulls?

ZARQ does not scan smart contract code for rug pull patterns. Instead, it detects structural weakness that precedes collapse -- including tokens that may rug pull -- through its NDD metric and crash probability model. ZARQ has 100% recall on structural collapse events.

Can I use ZARQ and Token Sniffer together?

Yes. Token Sniffer provides contract-level security checks (is the code safe?), while ZARQ provides structural risk assessment (is the token fundamentally sound?). Together they cover both surface-level and deep structural risk.
