This Floki Inu copy turns out to be a possible honeypot scam

 


According to a warning from blockchain security firm PeckShield, Snowflake Floki, a copy of the meme coin Floki Inu, is a honeypot scam.

Snowflake Floki a Scam?

The blockchain security firm PeckShield issued a warning against the meme coin copy Snowflake Floki. According to the company, this project is a honeypot scam.

“ #SCAM PeckShield noticed that @snowflakefloki is a #Honeypot! Selling is disabled. People are constantly caught up in buying. Stay * AWAY * from it! ”

As the name suggests, a honeypot entices users to buy tokens while the ability to sell them is disabled. Buyers' money is effectively stuck in the contract as all withdrawals are segregated. Typically, scams blacklist all other wallets except your own.

This type of scam is not new. Ethereum users have been dealing with honeypots for years. Since the Binance Smart Chain is a lot cheaper for issuing tokens, such scams are accumulating in the popular Smart Contract Blockchain.

Snowflake Floki went live on Monday on PancakeSwap, a decentralized platform powered by the Binance Smart Chain. However, it was immediately clear to some followers what was going on. There's now an easy way to spot honeypots, albeit not a hundred percent fail-safe. A honeypot detector simulates a buy and sell transaction. This is how it can be determined whether a particular cryptocurrency project is a scam or not.

In late October, a token inspired by Squid Game, Netflix's hit survival drama series, hit the headlines after its price shot up a whopping 40,000% in a very short period of time. There was a catch, however. Buyers were unable to sell the token due to the built-in anti-dump mechanism that played the key role in inflating the token price. As expected, this token was a scam that eased buyers by millions.

Many bad players also try to capitalize on legitimate meme coins such as Floki Inu and Shiba Inu.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
