A “rug pull” is when a project’s creators abandon it and run off with investors’ money, often after hyping a token to attract buyers. It is one of the most common ways people lose money on new tokens.
The pattern
Typical signs include anonymous teams, heavy paid promotion, promises of guaranteed returns, and token designs where insiders can suddenly sell or drain the liquidity pool. In a “hard” rug, the developers remove all the money at once; in a “soft” rug, they quietly sell their holdings and abandon the project.
Protecting yourself
Research who is behind a project, check whether liquidity is locked and audited, and be deeply skeptical of new tokens with more marketing than substance. If it feels engineered to make you buy quickly, treat that as the warning it is.
