Honeypot Tokens: What They Are and How to Spot Them on Blast
Learn the warning signs of tokens that may allow buying but restrict selling.
Why this matters on Blast
Honeypots are dangerous because the interface can make a token look normal while selling is restricted. Treat unusually high returns, aggressive marketing, and unclear contracts as reasons to investigate.
Blast is an Ethereum scaling environment with its own balances and application ecosystem.
Blast is part of the Ethereum scaling ecosystem. The same ticker can exist on Ethereum and on Blast as separate token contracts, so a balance seen on one network cannot be assumed to exist, or to be redeemable at the same value, on the other.
Blast: what to pay attention to
- Security: Use trusted interfaces and review contract interactions carefully.
- Assets and tokens: Verify the token contract on Blast.
- Costs: Compare network and route costs before moving low-value assets.
A Blast checklist for this topic
- Send a small test amount first when an address or route on Blast is new to you.
- Verify the contract address on Blast from an independent source rather than a ticker or a logo.
- Read what a Blast transaction or signature request actually authorizes before approving it.
- Treat unexpected tokens or links that appear in a Blast wallet as untrusted until verified.
