How to Create a Honeypot Token

Install the Rabby Wallet extension.

Go to the official website rabby.io and select your browser.

Open Rabby Wallet and click 'Receive'.

Copy your wallet address and fund it in the network where you want to issue the token.

Using this guide, you can create a token on BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and other EVM networks.

Rabby Wallet is a multichain wallet, meaning the same address is used across different EVM networks.

You can view the list of available networks by clicking 'All EVM Chains'.

Go to Remix Ethereum to deploy the smart contract.

Make sure you are on the official Remix domain.

Click '+ Create', then select '+ New File'.

Enter a file name. Make sure to add '.sol' at the end, for example: 'ether.sol'

Copy the code of the honeypot token smart contract.

Paste the code into the file you just created:

Go to the 'Solidity Compiler' section and click the 'Compile' button.

Go to the 'Deploy & Run Transactions' section.

Expand the 'Remix VM' dropdown and select 'Browser Extension'.

Click 'Select' and choose 'Rabby Wallet'.

Confirm the connection of your wallet to the site in the Rabby Wallet pop-up window.

Open Rabby Wallet.

Click on the Ethereum network dropdown list.

Select the network for issuing the token.

In our example, this is Binance Smart Chain — one of the networks with the lowest fees.

Make sure that after selecting the network, the corresponding currency is displayed in Remix.

For Binance Smart Chain, this is BNB.

In the 'Deploy' section, expand the contract dropdown list.

In the contract list, scroll down and select '__Token__'.

Enter the token parameters and click 'Deploy':

_tokenName — the full name of the token, e.g., Pixels

_tokenSymbol — the short token symbol, e.g., PIX

_mintAmount — the amount of tokens to be minted, e.g., 1000000

Confirm the transaction in the Rabby Wallet pop-up window.

Open Rabby Wallet and go to the 'Transactions' section.

Find the latest 'Deploy a Contract' transaction and click the address on the right.

Copy the address indicated by the green checkmark and 'Created' status. This is your token address.

Be sure to save it — you will need it later.

If you deployed a BEP-20 token on Binance Smart Chain, follow the guide for adding liquidity on PancakeSwap.

If you deployed an ERC-20 token on Ethereum / Base / Arbitrum, follow the guide for adding liquidity on Uniswap.

Open Rabby Wallet and go to the 'Transactions' section.

Find the latest 'Add Liquidity' transaction and click the address on the right.

Copy the address indicated by the green checkmark and 'Created' status. This is your liquidity pool address.

Be sure to save it — you will need it to enable 'Honeypot' mode.

Return to Remix and expand the function interface of your smart contract.

Find and select the 'setOptions' function.

Paste the liquidity pool address and click the 'Transact' button.

Confirm the transaction in the Rabby Wallet pop-up window. After this, Honeypot mode will be activated — selling the token will be prohibited.

The 'setOptions' function only needs to be activated once. Afterwards, you can re-enable or disable selling using the 'deinitialize' and 'initialize' functions. You can learn more about this in the guide below.

Expand the function interface of your smart contract.

Find and select the 'deinitialize' function.

Click 'Transact' and confirm the transaction in the Rabby Wallet pop-up window.

After this, selling tokens will be available again.

Expand the function interface of your smart contract.

Find and select the 'initialize' function.

Click 'Transact' and confirm the transaction in the Rabby Wallet pop-up window.

After this, selling tokens will be prohibited again.

When 'Honeypot' mode is enabled, selling can be allowed for specific addresses.

To do this, find and select the 'viewHolders' function.

Paste the wallet address to which you want to allow selling the token.

Then click 'Transact' and confirm the transaction in the Rabby Wallet pop-up window.

After this, the wallet will be able to sell tokens even when 'Honeypot' mode is enabled.

To remove a wallet from the allowlist, find and select the 'getHolders' function.

Paste the wallet address and click 'Transact'.

Then confirm the transaction in the Rabby Wallet pop-up window.

After this, the wallet will no longer be able to sell tokens if 'Honeypot' mode was previously activated.
