A “rug” is any setup where the people who control the token can take your money out of the pool faster than you can take it back. That is the whole category. It shows up in four recurring shapes:
The liquidity pull. The deployer owns most of the pool’s other side and withdraws it in one transaction. Price goes to zero.
The mint switch. The mint authority was never disabled, so the team can print more supply and sell into you whenever they want.
The freeze. A live freeze authority means your wallet can be frozen mid-trade.
The slow bleed. No dramatic pull — just an insider allocation quietly unlocking and selling into thin liquidity for weeks.
The rest of the book covers the four ratios that expose this from a chart alone, wallet hygiene, a 60-second pre-buy ritual, and what to do the night you get rugged anyway. Get it for $1 in SOL →
