什么是加密地毯拉力？
地毯拉动是一种退出骗局，涉及团队通过出售代币向投资者和公众筹集资金，但随后悄悄关闭项目或突然消失，窃取筹集到的资金并留下“投资者”（即他们的受害者）带着毫无价值的代币。
恶意行为者可以广泛策划，利用社交媒体影响者和炒作活动来吸引尽可能多的受害者。
有些骗局甚至利用社交空间中值得信赖的关键意见领袖来获取信任。 其他人承诺极高的产量或提供独家数字产品，如 NFT 地毯拉动中所见。
当项目所有者操纵特定代币或代币的价值来欺骗投资者并随后吸走他们的投资时，也会发生加密货币地毯拉动。
欺诈者经常通过短时间内代币价值突然大幅上涨来吸引受害者。 一旦价格达到顶峰，代币背后的人就会出售它以赚取利润，同时让“投资者”遭受巨大损失。
欺诈行为经常发生在去中心化交易平台上，使欺诈者能够从 DEX 的假名中受益。
地毯拉手的类型
地毯拉手一般可分为 硬 地毯拉手和 软地毯拉手 。
硬地毯拉动更加剧烈和突然。 投资者可能会在短时间内损失所有资金。 软地毯的拉力会在较长时间内发生。 核心开发团队在悄然关门的同时，给投资者一种虚假的安全感。
常见的地毯拉手类型包括：
流动性拉动： 恶意行为者从代币池中消除流动性，导致代币的价值因缺乏买家和卖家而暴跌。
虚假项目： 诈骗者创建看似合法的项目，收集投资，然后带着资金消失，给投资者留下毫无价值的代币。
拉高和抛售： 欺诈者通过协调购买人为抬高代币的价格，然后在高峰时出售其持有的代币，从而导致价值暴跌。
团队退出： 项目团队成员突然消失或退出，导致投资者失去支持，代币崩溃。
如何识别和避免地毯拉扯
识别和避免地毯拉扯需要勤奋和谨慎相结合。 以下是您可以保护自己的方法：
Thorough research: Investigate the project’s team, technology, goals, and community before investing. Look for red flags such as unknown teams or lack of transparency.
Security audits: Reputable projects often undergo third-party security audits. Check if the project has been audited and review the audit report for vulnerabilities.
Community engagement: Engage with the project’s community on social media and forums. A strong and active community can indicate a legitimate project.
Warning signs: Be cautious of unrealistic returns and yields, excessive marketing, and pressure to invest quickly. Trust your instincts and avoid FOMO.
Finally, always ensure you only invest money you can afford to lose. Many cryptocurrency projects are experimental, and sometimes the failure of an idea can lead to the team doing a soft rug pull, which means they quietly stop supporting the project.
5 Biggest Crypto Rug Pulls in History
While crypto rug pulls have always been a spectacle in the industry, some scams left a mark in the industry.
Here’s a look at five of history’s biggest crypto rug pulls.
OneCoin
OneCoin was a cryptocurrency-based Ponzi scheme promoted as a new digital currency that would revolutionize the financial world. The scheme was run by Ruja Ignatova, who claimed that OneCoin was backed by a team of experts and had a vast network of distributors.
However, OneCoin was never actually backed by anything, and the distributors were simply paid to recruit new investors. When the scheme eventually collapsed, investors lost over $4 billion.
Thodex
Thodex was a Turkish cryptocurrency exchange that was hacked in 2021. The hacker stole over $2 billion worth of cryptocurrency from Thodex users, and the exchange’s founder, Faruk Özer, then disappeared. Özer was later arrested in Albania in 2022.
AnubisDAO
AnubisDAO was a DeFi project launched in 2021. The project promised high returns to investors, but it was a rug pull. The developers drained the project’s liquidity pool and disappeared, leaving investors with nothing.
Uranium Finance
Uranium Finance was a DeFi project that promised to provide investors with exposure to uranium mining, but it was yet another rug pull. The developers of Uranium Finance drained the project’s liquidity pool and vanished, leaving token holders with heavy losses.
Squid Game Token
Squid Game Token was a scam cryptocurrency created in 2021, inspired by the popular Netflix series “Squid Game.” However, the token was a rug pull. The developers disabled the token’s ability to be sold, and then disappeared with investors’ money.
Crypto rug pulls remain a significant threat in the crypto space, preying on unsuspecting investors and causing substantial financial losses.
通过了解各种类型的骗局、学习如何识别早期预警信号以及实施最佳投资实践，您可以显着降低成为这些恶意计划受害者的风险。
