I jumped into a project right after its ICO launch, catching the momentum when they dropped the contract address. Threw in $7k without hesitation. But here's the thing—shortly after trading went live, they pulled the liquidity. Watched my entire position evaporate.
That LP withdrawal completely caught me off guard. One moment you're holding what looked like a solid position, the next it's gone. Classic play, really—liquidity gets yanked, retail holders left holding the bag.
Worth flagging as a reminder: always check the LP lock duration and terms before going all-in on fresh launches. Some lessons hit harder in the wallet than anywhere else.

According to research, the frequency of rug pull events has increased exponentially over the past two years. From a technical perspective, the lack of LP locking mechanisms is essentially an inherent flaw in smart contract architecture design; data shows that about 68% of new token projects have this vulnerability. It is worth noting that this is not only a personal risk management issue but also reflects a governance failure of the entire ecosystem—refer to relevant standards and literature on DeFi security audits, which detail the importance of liquidity locking.

This is a typical rug pull scheme; losing 7k tokens directly is so frustrating.

7k is gone... That's why you need to watch the LP lock-up period.

7k is gone directly, which is why I am now very cautious when looking at new projects
