⚠️ This phenomenon is unfortunately common in the world of memecoins and represents a significant risk for unsuspecting investors. Below, I explain solidly what happens and how to protect yourself:

🚀 1. The typical fraud cycle:

a) Launch with exaggerated hype

The creators launch a memecoin with aggressive marketing: memes, promises of "x1000", paid influencers, and noisy communities on social media (Telegram, X/Twitter, TikTok).

b) Artificial pump

They inject initial liquidity and create false scarcity. This drives up prices. Many people buy out of fear of 'missing the boat'.

c) Quick profits for insiders

The developers and close friends bought in before the public and are now selling at the top, draining the liquidity.

d) Abandonment

After the profit, social channels become inactive, the website goes offline, and the roadmap is no longer followed. The community collapses. This scam is known as a "rug pull".

💣 2. How to identify that this may happen?

❌ Exaggerated supply, like 1 quadrillion tokens, with false burning.

❌ Anonymous developers, without a reliable history.

❌ No real project, only vague promises ("it will be the new Doge", "to the moon").

❌ Liquidity locked for a short time (or not locked at all).

❌ Unfair tokenomics, with high entry and exit fees (to make it difficult to sell).

❌ No smart contract audits.

---

✅ 3. How to protect yourself:

● Research if the contract was audited by reliable companies (Certik, SolidProof, etc.).

● Check if the liquidity is locked and for how long (on platforms like Unicrypt or Deeplock).

● Beware of celebrities or influencers promoting tokens without context.

● Analyze whether the project has real use, a public team, and transparent communication.

🧠 Real example:

Tokens like SaveTheKids, Squid Game Token, or fake FLOKI derivatives were used for multimillion-dollar frauds. The creators made millions and disappeared. Many tokens copying the name of serious projects are also scams.

🛡️ Conclusion

Not every memecoin is a scam. But when the focus is only on "getting rich quick", the risk of manipulation is high.

If you can't find out who is behind it, what they are building, and how your money will be used, the project is not worth your investment.
