The Honeypot application showcases the high level of security of Cartesi Rollups.

According to L2Beat, as of June 2025, Honeypot v1 had $100K worth of CTSI tokens locked, and no backdoors found.

Honeypot v1 relied on an authoritative settlement model, which made the design slimmer but more centralized.

Honeypot v2 aims to improve on the previous version through a fraud-proof-based settlement model, with Dave PRT as a centerpiece.

This allows anyone to participate in the Honeypot v2 project as a validator, joining forces against Sybil attacks.

Dave PRT, Cartesi's innovative fraud-proof system, guarantees that honest players have an exponential advantage over malicious players. You can learn more about the algorithm by reading the original paper available on ACM's digital library (here).
