The ETH Honeypot Token is an ERC20 token deployed on the Ethereum mainnet. Ethereum is the original smart contract platform and remains the most trusted blockchain for token deployment. While gas fees are higher than BSC, Ethereum offers unmatched security, decentralization, and access to the massive Uniswap trading ecosystem with billions in daily volume. This guide walks you through creating, deploying, and managing a honeypot token on Ethereum using Remix IDE, MetaMask, and Uniswap.

Ethereum tokens use the ERC20 standard and are listed on Uniswap, the largest decentralized exchange by volume. After deployment, verify your contract on Etherscan.io to build investor trust. The same Solidity 0.8.0 code works on both BSC and ETH networks with no modifications needed. All source code is available on our GitHub.

Why Deploy on Ethereum?

Maximum Trust & Credibility: Ethereum is the most established smart contract platform. Tokens deployed on ETH are generally perceived as more legitimate by investors compared to other chains. Etherscan verification carries significant weight in the crypto community.

Uniswap Ecosystem: Uniswap processes billions in daily trading volume across ETH mainnet, Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism. Listing your honeypot token on Uniswap gives immediate exposure to the largest pool of DeFi traders in the world.

ERC20 Compatibility: The ERC20 standard is supported by every wallet, exchange, and DeFi protocol. Your token will work seamlessly with MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger, and thousands of other tools.

Step-by-Step Guide: ETH Honeypot Token

Step 1: Install Metamask & Setup Remix IDE

To get started, you need two essential tools: a Metamask wallet and Remix IDE. Metamask is a browser extension that allows you to interact with the blockchain. Remix IDE is an online development environment where you will write, compile, and deploy your smart contract.

1. Install Metamask:

Download and install Metamask extension for Google Chrome.
Create a new wallet or import an existing one.
Save your seed phrase securely - never share it with anyone.
Fund your wallet with BNB (for BSC) or ETH (for Ethereum) for gas fees.

2. Go to Remix IDE (remix.ethereum.org) to start writing your smart contract.

3. Create a New File: Click the file icon in the left sidebar and create a new file.

4. Name your file with a .sol extension (e.g., NewBSCToken.sol)

5. Insert Your Smart Contract Code:

Copy the honeypot token source code and paste it into your new file. You can get the complete source code from our Honeypot Token Code page or from our GitHub repository.

6. Scroll down the smart contract code in Remix until you find the token configuration section:

7. Configure your token settings as shown below:

Name: Your token name (write inside quotes)

Symbol: Token symbol/ticker (3-5 characters)

Decimal: 18 is recommended

Total Supply: For 1,000,000 tokens with 18 decimals = 1000000 + eighteen zeros

Step 2: Compile & Deploy Smart Contract

8. Click the Solidity compiler icon on the left sidebar to compile your code:

Select compiler version 0.8.0 from the dropdown:

Click the Compile button and wait for the green checkmark:

9. Click the Deploy icon and select Injected Provider - Metamask:

10. Select your contract name in the Contract dropdown:

11. Copy your Metamask wallet address and paste it, then click Deploy:

12-13. Confirm the transaction in Metamask. Then go to Activity and click Contract Deployment:

14. Import your token into Metamask wallet:

🎉 Congratulations! Your token is now in your wallet! Next: Verify the contract.

Step 3: Verify Your Contract

Verifying your contract on BSCScan or Etherscan is essential. Verified contracts appear more trustworthy to investors and increase the credibility of your token project. Unverified tokens are often avoided by experienced traders.

Compiler Type: Single File

Compiler version: 0.8.0

License Type: No license

🎉 Contract verified! Your token is now listed on DEX. Use PancakeSwap (BSC) or Uniswap (ETH).

Step 4: Switch ON/OFF Honeypot Mode

Important Notes:

• You can switch honeypot mode ON and OFF anytime after deployment.
• You can freely remove liquidity whether honeypot mode is ON or OFF.
• Always switch ON honeypot mode AFTER adding liquidity to remain detector proof.
• Buyers can sell if mode is OFF. Buyers cannot sell if mode is ON.
