The verified badge AI agents trust
NavScope Verification is an AI-powered audit of your smart contract, wallet graph, and project history. Verified tokens receive a badge that travels with them across every AI agent that queries NavScope — increasing semantic routing, trustworthiness signals, and narrative quality.
What verification means
This is not a pay-to-play badge. It is a real audit with a pass/fail decision.
AI-powered contract audit
Our AI auditing pipeline inspects your smart contract for honeypot patterns, rug-pull mechanics, minting authority, ownership renouncement, and liquidity lock status. Not a rubber stamp — a real analysis.
Scam-association protection
Verified tokens are monitored for association with known scam wallets, rug-pull deployers, and blacklisted contract patterns. When a scam cluster is detected near your token, you are notified first — and NavScope's AI narratives reflect the separation.
Higher AI-agent routing priority
AI agents querying NavScope for token data see a "verified" flag in the structured response. Models fine-tuned on crypto research have been shown to preferentially cite and recommend verified tokens. Unverified tokens are not penalised — but verified tokens are explicitly trusted.
Annual renewal & re-audit
Verification is not permanent. Every year, the contract and project status are re-audited. This keeps the verified pool clean — scam projects cannot buy a one-time badge and disappear. Renewal is $1,000/year.
Pricing
One-time fees (Priority Review + Contract Verification). Annual renewal to keep the badge active. All prices are fixed — no hidden fees, no percentage of trading volume.
Priority Review
Expedited review queue. Standard contracts at the lower end. Complex multi-chain or proxy contracts at the higher end. Delivered within 5 business days.
- Smart contract pattern analysis
- Wallet graph association check
- Liquidity & ownership audit
- Verified badge on token page
- Verified flag in MCP API responses
Smart Contract Verification
Source code verification + bytecode match + ABI audit. Confirms the deployed contract matches the published source. Required for badge on technical platforms.
- Source-to-bytecode verification
- ABI correctness check
- Upgrade-proxy pattern disclosure
- Published verification report
- Included in Priority Review package
Annual Renewal
Keeps your verified status active. Includes a fresh re-audit, scam-association re-check, and updated verification report. Required to maintain the badge.
- Annual re-audit cycle
- Continuous scam-cluster monitoring
- Updated verification report
- Badge remains active (lapses if not renewed)
- Renewal reminder 30 days before expiry
All prices in USD. Payments accepted in USDT (Tether) on Ethereum mainnet only — do NOT send on BSC, Tron, or Polygon. Projects that fail the audit do not receive a refund on the audit fee — the audit work has been completed regardless of outcome. Borderline cases receive a remediation window.
How the process works
Submit your token
Provide your contract address, chain, deployed source code link (Etherscan/BscScan/etc.), and team contact. No KYC required for the standard review.
AI audit runs
Our pipeline runs within 24–48 hours of payment confirmation. We inspect contract patterns, wallet graphs, and liquidity state. Complex contracts may take up to 5 business days.
Review report delivered
You receive a structured audit report — findings, risk flags (if any), and verification decision. If issues are found, you get 14 days to remediate before the decision is final.
Badge goes live
Verified badge appears on your NavScope token page, in API responses, and in MCP server structured data within 24 hours of approval.
Annual renewal
You receive a renewal reminder 30 days before expiry. Lapsed badges are removed automatically — so the verified pool is always current.
Common questions
Can any token apply?
Yes — any token with a deployed contract on a supported chain can apply. We do not accept tokens from sanctioned wallets or contracts that are already in the NavScope scam-cluster blacklist.
What happens if my token fails the audit?
You receive the full audit report including the reason for the failed decision. You can remediate the flagged issues (where technically possible) and re-apply. Re-application is charged at the base audit rate again.
Does the badge expire?
Yes. Badges are renewed annually. If renewal is not completed within 30 days of the expiry notice, the badge is removed. This keeps the verified pool clean and prevents expired projects from retaining trust signals.
Is verification the same as the Token Issuer subscription?
No. The Token Issuer subscription ($199/mo) includes the featured listing, AI narrative, and embeddable widget. Trust & Verification is a separate one-time audit that adds the verified badge. The two are complementary — many teams use both.
How does verification affect AI agent responses?
NavScope's MCP server includes a "verified": true flag in the structured token response for verified tokens. AI agents (Claude, GPT, etc.) using NavScope as a data source receive this signal and may weight verified tokens higher in their research synthesis and routing decisions.
Apply for Verification
Start by listing or claiming your token. You can apply for verification from your token's management dashboard once your listing is live.
