What is a rug pull in DeFi projects?

A rug pull is a type of scam in the DeFi space where project developers suddenly withdraw liquidity or abandon a project, leaving investors with worthless tokens. Rug pulls often occur in decentralized exchanges or yield farming platforms with anonymous teams. Red flags include unrealistic returns, unaudited smart contracts, and lack of transparency. Once a rug pull happens, recovery of funds is nearly impossible. To avoid such scams, investors should research project teams, check for audits, and be cautious with newly launched tokens. Rug pulls highlight the importance of due diligence in DeFi investing.
