Abstract

This technical disclosure describes a system and method for automatically generating smart contract honeypots by programmatically inserting trap logic into existing bytecode. The disclosed techniques include bytecode analysis for trap point identification, trap logic injection mechanisms, and bytecode reassembly procedures. The system enables rapid deployment of defensive honeypots that can detect, delay, and deter attackers while collecting intelligence on attack methodologies. This document is published as a defensive publication to establish prior art and prevent third parties from obtaining patent protection for similar approaches.
