What is rug pull?
A rug pull is a type of scam in which a cryptocurrency or NFT developer exaggerates a project to raise investor funds, but it will be abruptly shut down or leave, taking investor assets with them. The expression “pulling the carpet from under someone” means to upset the balance of the person, to struggle.
A rug pull usually begins with the creation of a new cryptocurrency. It is then first published on a decentralized exchange (DEX). It is listed on a cryptocurrency pair from a dominant platform like Ethereum. The scammers then apply an exaggerated advertising campaign that generates excitement in various venues. Social media marketing is used to attract the investor community.
These scammers often promise returns that are too good to be true. Or they sell memberships to a Ponzi scheme. With sufficient traction, a platform’s reach increases with the token price. When the price reaches its highest level, the core development team then sells the tokens held in the treasury of investor funds.
