What is a honeypot coin?

2 min read
In short

A honeypot is a coin whose contract lets you buy but secretly blocks you from selling. Every coin launched on ArkhamPad uses the same standard contract with fixed supply and no hidden sell block.

How honeypots work

The creator writes a contract with hidden rules: high sell taxes, a blocklist or a switch that stops sells.

ArkhamPad coins

All coins launched here share one public contract. Supply is fixed, nobody can mint more, and anyone can sell. The only limit is the optional creator lock, which stops only the creator from selling for a short time.

Coins from other DEXs

Coins listed from other DEXs weren't launched here and can have their own rules. Check them carefully.

FAQ

Can the creator change the contract later?

No. Coins launched on ArkhamPad can't be changed after launch.
