Honeypot Finance 2.0: From Empirical Innovation to a New Economic Vision

The Pivot: When Idealism Meets Reality

Two and a half years ago, our team set out to build a modular, DAO-upgradable DEX on Berachain. The vision was grand—until market realities hit us like a ton of decentralized bricks. We quickly learned that the underlying infrastructure needed another 2-3 years to mature. So, we made the tough call: shelve the original architecture.

But here’s where it gets interesting. That “failed” experiment laid the groundwork for something far more impactful—solving DeFi’s dirty little secret: MEV attacks and sandwich trading. Our solution not only won accolades at the 2023 ETH Shanghai Hackathon but cemented our core philosophy:

Build tools, not toys.

The Meme Coin Trap: Bonding Curves Gone Wrong

The current meme coin ecosystem is like a casino where the house always wins—except the house is a bunch of bots and insiders. Platforms like pump.fun democratized token creation but inadvertently created predatory bonding curve models that:

• Reward speed over community participation
• Incentivize pump-and-dump schemes
• Drain liquidity within days of launch

Pot2Pump: Turning Volatility into Revenue

Enter Pot2Pump, our antidote to toxic launch models. Unlike traditional systems where liquidity is an afterthought, Pot2Pump bakes it into a meme coin’s DNA from day one. Early participants become native LPs, aligning incentives across all stakeholders.

Key advantages:

1. Concentrated Liquidity: LP positions in precise price ranges can yield >32,000% APR (yes, you read that right).
2. Chain-Agnostic Design: Modular integration with both native DEXs (like Berachain’s) and giants like Uniswap V4 via hooks.
3. Fair Launch Mechanics: No more “dev wallets” dumping on retail.

Building an Ecosystem: Beyond Just Memes

Honeypot 2.0 isn’t a one-trick pony. Our full-stack approach includes:

Cheese Benance

A “never-decline” token factory that uses protocol fees to reward active borrowers—solving cold-start problems for new chains.

Drip Drive

Where real APY comes from capital velocity, not just TVL. Formula purists will appreciate:

True APY ≈ (TVL) / (On-chain Economic Activity)

AI Agent Launchpad & Meme Terminal

From generating pro-grade memes with AI to a Bloomberg Terminal for degens tracking real-time token analytics.

Why Monad? Speed Meets Substance

We’re planting flags on Monad (10,000+ TPS) because:

• Its throughput supercharges Drip Drive’s activity-based rewards
• Enables micro-transaction economies previously impossible on Ethereum L1

The Big Picture: Culture → Attention → Liquidity → Value

Every piece we’ve built follows this flywheel. Whether it’s solving MEV or reinventing meme launches, our north star remains clear: transform cultural energy into sustainable economic value through open, inclusive DeFi primitives.

The frontier awaits—let’s build it together.
