Squid Game Token

Rug Pull

DeFi · $SQUID · born 2021 · ✝ 2021

You could buy, but the contract wouldn't let you sell.

A meme token riding the Netflix show's hype. It pumped ~23,000% then the developers pulled liquidity and disappeared.

☠️ Cause of death

An anti-sell mechanism trapped buyers while devs drained the liquidity pool — a hard rug, ~$3.3M gone.

📓 Lessons left behind

  • Read the contract: if you can't sell, don't buy.
  • Hype tokens with anon teams and no audit are traps.
  • A green chart can be a one-way door.

🌱 The idea that survived

On-chain rug detection

Honeypot scanners and token-safety tools (Token Sniffer, GoPlus) now flag un-sellable contracts before users get trapped.
