Rug Pull

A rug pull is a scam where developers abandon a project and run away with investors' funds. Similar to pulling the rug out from under someone's feet, this term describes a betrayal in the crypto space, often seen in DeFi projects where large amounts of money can be quickly and anonymously siphoned away.
