A honeypot, or trap or decoy system, is a tool of computer security arranged in a network or computer system to be the target of a possible computer attack, and thus be able to detect it and obtain information from it and from the attacker.
Now in the world of coins is considered a honeypot, the coins that are a scam because you can buy them but when you sell them your contract does not allow you to recover your investment, in this market that is on the rise are being created every day thousands of these coins that are a scam.

We will take as an example a coin called "Ariva" which can be found at https://coinmarketcap.com/es/currencies/ariva/.
step one: go to the official website of the site in this case https://honeypot.is/
step two: we look for the contract of the coins and place it in the search engine.
Now what the tool does is to look for the contract and examine it to see if there is a possibility that within the contract it is not possible to sell the coins once we have bought it, it is worth noting that most of these scams are very short lived, when these projects have managed to accumulate all the money they expect, they disappear with all the money.
