## What it is
Salmonella is a demonstration project that deploys a malicious ERC-20 token contract designed to detect and punish sandwich traders on Ethereum. It exploits the generalized nature of front-running bots by letting them buy the token, then draining their profits when they attempt to sell.

## Use cases
- detect and punish sandwich trading bots on ethereum
- demonstrate risks of mev and front-running strategies
- deploy a honeypot erc20 token to trap frontrunners
- learn how sandwich attacks work on uniswap
- protect against mempool exploitation by turning the tables on attackers

## When to choose
- you want to study or demonstrate mev/sandwich attack mechanics on ethereum
- you need a working example of a honeypot token contract to test bot behavior
- you are researching defi security and adversarial smart contract design

## When to avoid
- you need production-ready audited token contracts for a real defi project
- you want a general-purpose erc20 implementation without adversarial logic
- you need something maintained with active support and a clear license
