Honeypot is a specialized security tool designed to detect honeypot scams in the cryptocurrency space, particularly on chains like Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Ethereum. A honeypot scam is a malicious token that allows users to buy but prevents them from selling, effectively trapping their funds. Honeypot addresses this by simulating both buy and sell transactions on a given token to determine if it behaves like a honeypot. This simulation helps developers, traders, and security analysts identify risky tokens before interacting with them.

The tool performs extensive checks beyond simple transaction simulation to reduce false positives, making it one of the most advanced honeypot detectors available. While it provides high accuracy, it is not infallible; tokens that pass the test today could change behavior later. Honeypot supports multiple chains, including Ethereum and BASE, and offers a web interface and API for integration into developer workflows.

Honeypot is primarily aimed at DeFi developers, financial institutions, and infrastructure teams who need to vet tokens for security risks. It can be integrated into token listing processes, automated trading bots, or security audit pipelines. Getting started involves using the web interface or calling the API with the token address to receive a detailed honeypot risk assessment. Comprehensive documentation is available to guide developers through integration and usage scenarios.
