Exit Scam

When project developers abandon a project after raising money, disappearing with investors' funds.

Definition

When project developers abandon a project after raising money, disappearing with investors' funds. It's different from a rug pull because exit scams are planned from the start. Warning signs include anonymous teams, unrealistic promises, and locked liquidity with short timeframes.
