does anyone knows how to simulate sell/buy/transfer using contract abi and bytecode for tokens? for example, checking taxes and dead blocks from block x - block x

Hardhat, foundry... you can use pretty much any toolsuite to do that

May I get the knowledge from you of how to achieve that?

The logic and structure

Are you familiar with using any of these toolsuites?

Sort of I guess? is it like using hard hat to deploy the contract using Abi and byte code? And then simulate?

Do I need environment like truffle or ganche?

Yeah that's it. You can write a test script which does all the things you need

Run that on a mainnet fork and you're good to go

But 1 thing I’m curious is, how do I read which are the functions/methods that do this and that? For example, identifying which method will open trading (let’s say if people want to snipe)

Because different contracts has different methods and functions

That's pretty much impossible to know without having the actual contract code. Abi only returns function selectors. I can name my function superSafeTokenFunction and use that to rugpull

What if let’s say, before moving on to do the simulation, I can get the verified source code , not only the Abi

Will it be possible then?

Without manual checking: hard but not impossible. You can do some static analysis and figure out which function do what

So meaning to say like , identify certain keywords and certain basic functions to determine which methods does what?

Have a list of commonly used function sigs and check if that's present, check for setters which changes something that directly affects the transfer function...

Gosh it’s gna be a hard one, thank you so much for your help @grimreaper619 you helped me understand a lot today! Can I seek you for help again if I need?

No worries. You can simply ask here and someone will help you out. Goodluck with your project ;)

Thank you! Actually I realise I can make use of AI to actually detect methods functionality

i think it is outdated

if I am not wrong the current version migrated here

What is this mate!

it's a package that decode calldata to it's real type

hey sister... can you unblock me on the lunatics token channel? the old team banned me 🙈

Can you give me an example?
