The Anatomy of a Rug Pull: What Onchain Data Reveals
We analyzed 500+ rug pulls from 2024 and found 12 common onchain patterns that appear days before the pull. Here's how to spot them early.
Most rug events leave measurable traces: concentrated deployer control, LP instability, and coordinated wallet behavior.
Our research found these indicators often appear well before the final liquidity removal event.
By combining holder graph changes with DEX flow analysis, we can flag suspicious setups earlier.
These patterns now feed directly into our token risk system and real-time alerting layer.
