Deployer History
Traces the wallet that deployed the project's smart contract and checks for a history of other deployments — a key signal for serial scammers.
What It Checks
Using block explorer APIs (Etherscan-compatible), DappScore:
Identifies the deployer wallet — the address that created the contract
Checks wallet age — how long ago the wallet made its first transaction
Lists other contract deployments — how many other contracts this wallet has deployed
What to Look For
Fresh wallet (0 history)
New wallet — neutral, not inherently suspicious
1–4 other contracts
Normal — developer may have other projects
5+ other contracts
Pattern deployer — worth researching each
Multiple contracts + scam reports
🚨 Serial rugger
New wallets are not a red flag. Many security-conscious developers use fresh wallets deliberately to protect their identity. Wallet age alone is never penalised — it's a data point, not a verdict.
Linked Contracts
The panel lists up to 10 other contracts deployed from the same wallet, with:
Contract address (linked to block explorer)
Date deployed
Quick access to research each one
Supported Chains
Works on any EVM chain with an Etherscan-compatible block explorer API:
Ethereum, Base, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Fantom, Linea, Scroll, Blast, Gnosis, Cronos, and more.
Limitations
Non-EVM chains (Solana, TON, Tron) are not currently supported
Chains without a public explorer API will show "data unavailable"
Does not automatically flag contracts as scams — manual research is required
Deployer history is fetched automatically across all supported chains using public block explorer data.
