Will I Be Notified If a Coin I Hold Is Rug Pulled?
When a coin is rug pulled, Pluang applies the "Rug Pulled" label to it and shares further information about the case through the app once the details are confirmed — so the place to look is the coin's label and your in-app notifications. It helps to understand why a rug pull works differently from a planned delisting when it comes to warnings. A rug pull is abrupt: it is the label applied when a coin's network is shut down due to suspected fraud or project failure, and the coin becomes untradeable immediately. Because that shutdown is not something anyone schedules in advance, there is no "Delisting Soon" warning stage beforehand — the event itself is what triggers the label. A planned delisting is the opposite: Pluang knows the removal date ahead of time, so it can send proactive notifications before the cut-off. For a rug pull, then, the label goes on as soon as the situation is identified, and Pluang shares whatever case information is available as it is confirmed. Any balance you held before the rug pull stays visible in your portfolio even though the coin can no longer be traded.
- A rug pull is abrupt by nature. It is applied when a coin's network is shut down on suspected fraud or project failure, and the coin becomes untradeable immediately — there is no advance-warning stage the way a planned delisting has.
- Why there's no "Delisting Soon" warning. A rug pull isn't scheduled, so nobody knows a date in advance to warn you about. The network shutdown itself is what triggers the label, which is why the notice comes at the point the situation is identified rather than before it.
- How a planned delisting differs. For a delisting, Pluang knows the removal date ahead of time and sends proactive email and in-app notifications before the cut-off. That advance notice is possible precisely because the event is planned.
- What Pluang does once a rug pull is identified. Pluang applies the "Rug Pulled" label to the coin and shares the available case information as it is confirmed, so the label and your notifications update as more becomes known.
- Your holdings stay visible. Any balance you held before the rug pull remains in your portfolio, even though the coin itself is untradeable. The label reflects the coin's status; it does not remove the balance from view.
- Where to follow the case. The coin's label detail view and your in-app notifications are the authoritative places for case-specific updates, and Pluang Care is where to go for the latest information on your situation.

Q: How is a rug pull different from a delisting in terms of warning?
A planned delisting comes with an advance "Delisting Soon" warning and a set removal date, because Pluang knows the date ahead of time and can notify you before the cut-off. A rug pull has no warning stage at all: the network shutdown that defines it is abrupt and unscheduled, so the "Rug Pulled" label is applied at the moment the situation is identified rather than in advance. The coin becomes untradeable immediately when the label goes on.
Q: Where can I find updates about a specific rug pull case?
Check the coin's status label and your in-app notifications, which are the channels Pluang uses to share case-specific updates as they are confirmed. Because a rug pull unfolds abruptly, information tends to be shared as it becomes available rather than all at once. For the latest on your own situation, Pluang Care is the place to reach out, and the coin's label detail view is worth checking regularly for any new information.
Q: Does my portfolio still show the coin after a rug pull?
Yes. Any balance you held before the rug pull remains visible in your portfolio, even though the coin itself has become untradeable. The "Rug Pulled" label reflects the coin's status and the fact that you can no longer trade it — it does not make the holding disappear from view. So you will still see the position, and the label tells you why trading is no longer available for that particular coin.
Q: Is there a compensation or recovery process for a rug pull?
This depends on the specific case, and it is not something to assume in advance. The reliable approach is to check the coin's label detail view for any information Pluang shares about that case, and to contact Pluang Care for the latest details on your situation. Because a rug pull stems from a suspected fraud or a project failure outside Pluang, what is possible varies case by case, so the app and Pluang Care are the right sources.
Q: Can I do anything to prevent a rug pull?
A rug pull is driven by events at the coin's own network or project — a suspected fraud or a project failure — not by anything within your Pluang account, so there is no setting or action on your side that prevents it. What you can do is stay aware of a coin's risk profile before and while you hold it: labels such as "High Risk", "Volatile", or "Low Market Cap" flag concerns worth weighing, and checking a coin's detail view keeps you informed of its current status.
