Exit Scam

Security

Project operators disappear with user funds or promises unfulfilled.

An exit scam happens when operators abandon a project and take funds. Protect yourself by reviewing controls, watching treasury flows, and avoiding deposits into opaque systems.

Frequently asked questions

  • How can I spot signs early?
    Opaque treasury controls, no audits, aggressive timelines, and anonymous teams with custody of funds are red flags.
  • What safeguards help?
    Multisigs with known signers, timelocks, bug bounties, and open financial reporting reduce risk.
  • What if I suspect an exit scam?
    Stop depositing, warn others via official channels, and record evidence for potential reports.
