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. 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 isn't scheduled in advance, there is no "Delisting Soon" warning stage beforehand — the event itself triggers the label, unlike a planned delisting, where Pluang knows the removal date ahead of time and can send proactive notifications.


Good to know:

  • A rug pull is abrupt — the coin becomes untradeable immediately, with no advance-warning stage.
  • Why there's no "Delisting Soon" warning: a rug pull isn't scheduled, so the network shutdown itself triggers the label at the point it's identified.
  • How a planned delisting differs: Pluang knows the removal date in advance and sends proactive email and in-app notifications before the cut-off.
  • What Pluang does: applies the "Rug Pulled" label and shares available case information as it's confirmed.
  • Your holdings stay visible — any balance held before the rug pull remains in your portfolio, even though the coin is untradeable.
  • Where to follow the case: the coin's label detail view, your in-app notifications, and Pluang Care.

Related questions:

Q: How is a rug pull different from a delisting in terms of warning?
A planned delisting gets an advance "Delisting Soon" warning with a set removal date; a rug pull has no warning stage, since the abrupt network shutdown triggers the label at the moment it's identified.

Q: Where can I find updates about a specific rug pull case?
Check the coin's status label and your in-app notifications, which Pluang uses to share case-specific updates as they're confirmed. For the latest on your situation, contact Pluang Care.

Q: Does my portfolio still show the coin after a rug pull?
Yes — any balance you held before the rug pull remains visible, even though the coin has become untradeable. The label reflects its status; it doesn't remove the holding from view.

Q: Is there a compensation or recovery process for a rug pull?
This depends on the case. Check the coin's label detail view and contact Pluang Care for the latest information on your situation.

Q: Can I do anything to prevent a rug pull?
No — a rug pull is driven by events at the coin's own network or project, not your Pluang account. You can stay aware of risk labels like "High Risk", "Volatile", or "Low Market Cap" before and while you hold a coin.
