How These Scams Work
A rug pull happens when the team behind a token or project pulls liquidity and disappears, leaving holders with worthless assets. It can happen in seconds, often right after a wave of investment comes in.
Cryptotraceback traces the developer wallets and the movement of pooled capital, following the drained funds across wallets and bridges to identify where they went and who moved them.

Frequently Asked Question
1. The project just vanished overnight. Is there anything left to trace?
Yes. The blockchain permanently records the liquidity removal and every transfer that followed, which is exactly what we follow.
2. Can you identify the developers behind the project?
We trace the developer wallets and map their activity, which frequently points toward the people who controlled the funds.
3. The funds were moved through a mixer. Does that end the trail?
Not necessarily. Mixers complicate tracing but do not always defeat it, and we use specialised techniques to follow funds through them.
4. What can your report support?
Exchange freeze requests, regulatory complaints, and legal action, depending on where the funds end up.
