Telegram Ethereum Honeypot Detector

Overview

Checks token sellability on Ethereum via eth_call simulation.

Dependencies

from lib.gumloop_telegram import BotConfig, send_alert, build_alert, ScheduledBot, escape_md
import requests, os, json

Bot Config

config = BotConfig(bot_token=os.environ["TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN"], chat_id=os.environ["TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID"])
RPC = "https://eth.llamarpc.com"

Detection Logic

def simulate_xfer(token, fr, to, amt):
    data = "0xa9059cbb" + to[2:].zfill(64) + amt[2:].zfill(64)
    pl = {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_call","params":[{"from":fr,"to":token,"data":data},"latest"],"id":1}
    r = requests.post(RPC, json=pl, timeout=10).json()
    return r.get("result") not in (None, "0x")

def check(token):
    b, s, a = "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001", "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002", hex(10**18)
    buy = simulate_xfer(token, b, s, a)
    sell = simulate_xfer(token, s, b, a)
    if buy and not sell:
        send_alert(config, f"🐝 *HONEYPOT*\nBuy: ✅ Sell: ❌")
    else:
        send_alert(config, f"✅ *Safe*\nBuy: {'✅' if buy else '❌'} Sell: {'✅' if sell else '❌'}")

Additional Checks

• Query sellFee if ABI known (fee-on-transfer detection)
• Check proxy via EIP-1967 storage slot
• Compare balanceOf before/after simulated transfer

Docker

FROM python:3.11-slim
WORKDIR /app
RUN pip install lib-gumloop-telegram requests flask
COPY bot.py .
CMD ["python", "bot.py"]

docker build -t tg-eth-honeypot .
docker run -d -e TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=x -e TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=y tg-eth-honeypot

Risk Filters

• Revert-on-sell = instant honeypot flag
• Fee > 10% = high risk
• Proxy contract = additional scrutiny
• Unverified source code = elevated risk
