The updated ScanHood swap screen displays a DANGER warning but allows the user to proceed with the trade.
SCANHOOD REMOVES HARD RUG-CHECK BLOCK, TRADERS KEEP CONTROL
*ScanHood has stripped the automatic trade blocker that halted any token flagged DANGER. The safety verdict remains visible, but the final call now rests with the user. The shift reshapes risk management on the Robinhood Chain swap.*
ScanHood has altered the core of its swap safety model. The platform once enforced a hard stop on any token flagged DANGER by its internal scanner, blocking the trade outright. That gate is now gone. The safety engine still runs, still flags risky tokens, and still displays a DANGER warning, but the decision to trade rests with the user. This shift reflects a broader trend toward user‑driven risk management in DeFi. By keeping the warning visible while removing the automatic block, ScanHood aims to preserve transparency without dictating trader behavior. The change arrives alongside a suite of non‑custodial features that keep the contract hands‑off and the fee structure flat.
What does the removal of the hard gate mean for traders?
Previously, ScanHood's swap engine would flatly block any trade involving a token its safety scanner labeled DANGER. The update eliminates that hard gate. The scanner still runs on every token, and a DANGER verdict appears as a clear warning on the trade interface. However, the platform no longer prevents the transaction. Traders now decide whether to proceed despite the warning. This change transfers the risk assessment from the platform to the individual user, preserving transparency while relinquishing automatic enforcement.
How does the new non-custodial swap operate?
The swap remains native to the Robinhood Chain and runs without custodial holdings. Users connect their wallet, which signs the transaction directly. The contract routes the trade in a single on‑chain step, ensuring the contract never holds or freezes funds. A built‑in bridge moves assets between Ethereum and Robinhood via relay.link; the bridge is non‑custodial and carries no ScanHood fee. Every quote includes a flat 1% fee, baked into the output amount. The design promises a seamless, trust‑less flow from deposit to receipt.
Why does the DANGER verdict still appear after the update?
ScanHood's safety engine continues to scan each token before execution. When the engine flags a token as DANGER, the interface displays a prominent warning. The verdict is unchanged; only the enforcement has shifted. By keeping the warning visible, the platform maintains its risk‑alert function while allowing users to override it. This approach balances user autonomy with continued exposure of potential honeypots or malicious contracts, aligning with the platform's claim of "scan‑first swaps" without imposing a hard block.
Which routing method ensures the best price on ScanHood?
ScanHood routes swaps through the deepest available Uniswap V2 or V3 pool for the selected token. The router selects the pool with the highest liquidity, then quotes the exact output on‑chain. This "best local route" strategy aims to minimize slippage and deliver the most favorable rate. Users can still set a slippage tolerance of 1%, 3%, 5% or 10% before confirming. By leveraging the deepest pools, ScanHood seeks to combine safety scanning with optimal pricing in a single transaction.
Frequently asked questions
Can ScanHood still block trades on tokens flagged DANGER?
No. The hard gate that blocked trades on DANGER‑flagged tokens has been removed; the verdict still shows but the trade decision is left to the user.
Is there a fee for using ScanHood's bridge between Ethereum and Robinhood?
No ScanHood fee is applied on bridges; the bridge is non‑custodial and fee‑free.
Is the ScanHood swap custodial?
The swap is non‑custodial; the user's wallet signs the transaction and the contract holds no funds between trades.
ScanHood's update redefines the balance between automated safety and user autonomy on the Robinhood Chain. By exposing DANGER verdicts without enforcing a block, the service forces traders to confront risk directly. Coupled with a non‑custodial swap flow, a flat 1% fee, and deep‑pool routing, the platform offers a transparent, cost‑predictable experience. The real test will be how users respond to the newfound responsibility and whether the warning system deters reckless trades or simply becomes another checkbox in a fast‑moving market.
