The most common trap: you can buy, but you can’t sell
A honeypot token looks completely normal to buy — the transaction goes through, your wallet shows the new balance, everything looks fine. The trap only shows up the moment you try to sell: the transaction reverts, or an enormous hidden tax eats almost everything. By then your money is already in.
How this tool catches it before you do
Rather than reading the contract’s source (which a malicious deployer can obfuscate anyway), this simulates the actual sequence — buy, then immediately try to sell — against the token’s real liquidity pool, and reports exactly what happens without ever broadcasting a real transaction.
