Relay Protocol, a cross-chain liquidity provider, confirmed reports of scam tokens vanishing from wallets after purchase on Robinhood Chain, describing a wave of tokens deliberately designed to remove themselves post-purchase. The mechanism is a type of honeypot scam, where the token's smart contract contains hidden logic that silently burns the buyer's balance to zero, or reroutes it to the deployer, once triggered by a subsequent block or a set transaction count since launch, so the balance appears briefly before disappearing entirely.

Relay said funds spent on these tokens are not recoverable, but stressed the exploit is isolated to the scam token purchase itself, with private keys and other wallet balances unaffected. The team is blocking flagged tokens as they surface and verifying legitimate ones, and reminded users that since anyone can list a token on the chain, they should stick to tokens verified a trusted source.
