Scammers Target DAOs.fun with Vanity Honeypots on Meteora DBC Amid Agents Season

In the fast-paced world of meme tokens and blockchain innovations, it's not uncommon to see opportunistic scammers trying to muddy the waters. A recent tweet from @baoskee, a key figure at DAOs.fun, highlights a sneaky tactic that's already making waves just weeks into the agents season.

For those new to the scene, DAOs.fun is an emerging platform that's gaining traction for its focus on decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) tailored for fun, meme-driven communities on the blockchain—likely built on Solana given the context. Meteora DBC refers to Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Curve, a mechanism used in decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to launch tokens with automated liquidity provision. It's popular for meme token launches because it helps create fair initial distributions without traditional presales.

According to the tweet, some individual is generating thousands of "vanity" DAOs addresses on Meteora DBC. Vanity addresses are custom wallet or contract addresses that include specific words or patterns, like ones starting with "daos" to mimic legitimate projects. These are then loaded with honeypots—malicious smart contracts designed to trap users' funds. Once you send crypto in, you can't get it out, but the scammer can drain it all.

The goal? To spam the ecosystem with these fake CAs (contract addresses), forcing traders to filter out anything related to DBC launches. This creates noise, making it harder to spot genuine opportunities on platforms like DAOs.fun. As @baoskee puts it, "it's not even 2nd week of agents season and we already have opps lol they know we're onto something."

Agents season likely refers to a themed period in the crypto space where AI agents or automated trading bots are in the spotlight, perhaps tied to meme token hype cycles. The fact that scammers are targeting this early shows just how much potential DAOs.fun has. It's a backhanded compliment—the "opps" (opponents) are scared of the real innovation happening here.

This isn't the first time meme token ecosystems have faced such attacks. Honeypots have been a staple scam in DeFi, especially on chains like Solana where low fees enable mass deployment. Traders should always verify contract addresses, check for rug pull risks using tools like RugCheck, and stick to reputable launchpads.

As the meme token space evolves, platforms like DAOs.fun are poised to lead with community-driven fun and real utility. But staying vigilant against these spam tactics is key. If you're diving into agents season, keep an eye on verified sources and remember: if it looks too good (or too spammy) to be true, it probably is.
