Check if ownership is actually renounced
Paste an address. On EVM we look at owner, admin, and proxy admin. On Solana we look at mint and freeze authorities. Renounced means those keys are dead.
Current owner address versus the dead address. A live EOA or a multisig still holds the pen.
On EVM: mint, pause, and blacklist in verified source. On Solana: whether mint or freeze authority is still live.
Upgradeable proxies keep a second key. Renouncing the token owner does nothing if the proxy admin is live.
Prior tokens from the same wallet, including how many scanned as honeypots.
Teams renounce a husk and keep mint on an implementation, or they transfer owner to a wallet they still control. Read the current owner and the proxy admin, not the tweet.
The live feed flags live owners and mint rights on every new pool that clears the floor on Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and Solana.

Questions
What does renounced actually mean?
The owner slot points at a dead address and no proxy admin can upgrade the code. Anything short of that is still an admin key.
Is a multisig the same as renounced?
No. A multisig is still a key. Safer than one EOA, not the same as a dead owner.
Why do you care about proxies?
The token you hold can be the proxy. The implementation behind it can change if the admin key is live.
Which chains?
Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and Solana. Same scan quota as the other checkers.
