Honeypot Defense: Pre-Buy Token Validation on Solana

Honeypot tokens on Solana pose a critical risk for algorithmic traders by allowing purchases while blocking exits, resulting in total capital loss with no recovery mechanism. Pre-buy validation using tools like RugCheck AI's simulate_sell() function enables trading bots to detect non-sellable tokens before executing trades, shifting security from post-loss detection to pre-execution prevention. This approach is essential for protecting automated trading strategies in decentralized markets where deception precedes execution.
