Introduction
Honeypot app is being updated. We recently found a bug in the application that has led to a fail-stop state. This means the current deployment is permanently frozen, and the bounty funds within it are no longer recoverable. Get in touch with us on Discord for more details.
This section focuses on the Cartesi application - the Honeypot - its introduction, application logic and how it demonstrates the PRT fraud-proof system's capabilities in a real-world scenario.
What is the Honeypot App?
Cartesi’s Honeypot application is a Stage-2 app-specific rollup that is built to test the security of Cartesi Rollups. The application is a secure ERC-20 token vault that operates with asymmetric access controls: it accepts token deposits from any Ethereum address but restricts withdrawals exclusively to a single pre-configured address. This creates a "honeypot" mechanism where tokens accumulate in the vault until the authorized withdrawal address claims them.
The application runs inside a Cartesi Machine (RISC-V virtual environment) and integrates with Ethereum through the Cartesi Rollups framework. It maintains a persistent state, validates all operations, and generates vouchers for authorized withdrawals.
