Rug pull
When a token's creators or large holders take buyers' money in one move and the price drops close to zero.
Three main types
1) Liquidity pull: the creator removes the money from the pool and there is no one left to sell to. 2) Dump: the creator or linked wallets sell a large bag into a thin pool. 3) Abuse of contract powers: minting more, freezing wallets, a 100% sell tax.
What you can see in advance
Active contract powers, a large creator share, concentration in a few wallets, possibly related wallets, liquidity of a few percent of market cap and creator sells in the first hours. No single sign proves fraud, but together they raise the risk a lot.
How QUVR Pulse checks it
A QUVR Pulse report checks all these signs at once and sums them up in the “Bottom line”. We never say “safe”: the best possible result is “low detected risk”.
FAQ
Can you get money back after a rug pull?
Almost never: blockchain transactions are irreversible. That is why the check has to happen before you buy, not after.
