The deployer creates a token, adds initial liquidity to a DEX, and promotes it aggressively. As buyers drive the price up, the deployer waits for the pool to grow — then pulls all liquidity in a single transaction, crashing the token to zero.
The entire cycle can happen in under 30 minutes. By the time victims realize what happened, the deployer has already moved funds through mixers and bridges.
Deploy token + add liquidity
Hype on social media
Price rises as buyers FOMO
Pull liquidity, token = $0
Spot these signals before you buy — not after. Each flag alone is a warning; multiple flags together almost guarantee a scam.
When LP tokens are not locked in a time-lock contract, the deployer can remove all liquidity at any moment. This is the single biggest rug pull enabler.
CriticalIf one wallet holds more than 10-20% of total supply, they can crash the price at will. Coinibi flags tokens where the top holder owns a disproportionate share.
CriticalLegitimate projects verify their smart contract code on block explorers. Unverified code means you cannot know what the contract actually does.
HighSome projects claim liquidity is locked but provide no verifiable proof. Genuine locks are on-chain and verifiable through Unicrypt, Team Finance, or PinkSale.
HighSome tokens launch with low tax but the owner can raise it to 50%+ later. Check for setFee, updateTax, or setMarketingFee functions with no maximum cap.
HighWhen ownership is not renounced, the owner can mint tokens, change taxes, pause transfers, or blacklist addresses. Renouncement removes this power.
MediumScam projects create fake trading volume through wash trading and flood social media with paid promotions. Massive volume but few unique holders = fabricated.
MediumMany rug pulls impersonate popular projects using similar names, logos, or tickers. Always verify the contract address through official sources.
