  • What is a Rug Pull?
    A rug pull is a malicious maneuver in the cryptocurrency industry where crypto developers abandon a project and run away with investors’ funds. Rug pulls usually happen in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, especially on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), where malicious individuals create a token and list it on a DEX, then pair it with a leading cryptocurrency like Ethereum.
    Once a significant amount of unsuspecting investors swap their ETH for the listed token, the creators then withdraw everything from the liquidity pool, driving the coin's price to zero. The coin’s creators may even create a temporary hype around Telegram, Twitter, and other social media platforms and initially inject a substantial amount of liquidity into their pool to cultivate investor confidence.
    Rug pulls thrive on DEXs because these types of exchanges allow users to list tokens for free and without audit, unlike in centralized cryptocurrency exchanges. Furthermore, creating tokens on open source blockchain protocols like Ethereum is easy and free. Malicious actors use these two factors to their advantage.
    Note that decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap algorithmically determine the prices of tokens in a pool depending on the available balances. To ensure you don’t fall victim to a rug pull, check the liquidity in a pool. However, this is only the first step. You must also check if there is a lock on the token’s pool. Most reputable projects lock pooled liquidity for a certain period.
    Another major characteristic of a possible rug pull is a coin skyrocketing in price within hours. For example, a rug pull coin can move from 0 to 50X within 24 hours. This trick is meant to drive FOMO that leads more people to invest in the token.
    In order for a project to be deemed "unruggable," it means that there aren't a significant amount of tokens help by the development team. Without the signature large amount of team-held tokens that could be taken in a rug pull or exit scam, a project could be considered unruggable.
    Another way to think about an unruggable project is if the team renounces ownership of any tokens, like tokens they would have acquired during a presale.

      Certain projects can't be 100% determined that its a rug pull. There are many things that can be seen as a red flag, but saying with certainty what projects are 100% rugpulls and what ones 100% aren't is very hard to do. I don't want CMC's judgement to determine what coins we see and what ones we don't. All that said, I don't have any problem avoiding rugpulls. It's easy to spot when something is 'likely' a scam. Just be discerning, it isn't that hard to avoid rugpulls. Most retain plausible deniability which is why cmc can't simply not list rugpulls, even if they wanted to.

      There needs a standard to get listed on these sites and there needs to be penalties for projects who fail to deliver promises as that's what's seen far too often nevermind the actual rugpulls.

      No one necessarily. The vast majority of coins will fail, no one is denying that. Lots of opportunity for innovation created by blockchain tech, it isn't surprising there are so many.

      Despite having so many coins out there it's funny cause we are still in the early days of crypto , especially now Metaverse is becoming a thing and we are seeing more and more pushing towards this field , it's also can be a challenge to find those unique projects that still can be first in line in the subject they chose to work on and the opportunities they have to offer.
      I think it's not too late for new coins/projects to become one of top100 although it will be a challenge , maybe a year or two .

      Knowing what a rugpull is is easy, determining which ones are rugpulls isn't a science. Cmc can't just delist coins they "think" is a rugpull. It's just a site that shows listed coins.
      If you think it's possible for them to just determine what is a rugpull then I can just as easily say to you, don't buy them. The key to a "good" rugpull is plausible deniability. They "could" be legit until the moment they decide to pull the rug.
