Honeypot

Smart contract designed so you can buy a token but not sell.

Honeypot: rug variant. Token looks normal, you buy, price rises (creators fake-pump), can't sell (contract blocks sells except creator). Variant: 99% sell tax. Check honeypot.is, dexscreener. BSC has most.

In plain words

A smart contract coded so you can buy a token but then can't sell it. Creators pump the price to lure retail; when you try to exit, the tx reverts. Only the creators can sell. Always check new tokens on honeypot.is and dexscreener before buying.

Example

Token MEME-TRAP-X on BSC: $0.001 → $0.01 in 2 days (10x), 5000 'buyers' trapped. Nobody could sell. Creator dumped day 3, made $800k. Rule: never buy new tokens without checking honeypot.is.
