Understanding Rugs:
Rugs date back to ancient Egypt, but the most sophisticated techniques emerged in Persia. Today, let's focus on Solana and EVM rugs, starting with Solana

Other Solana Rugs:

Remove Liquidity: Dev removes liquidity. Look for lock/burn.
Mint: Dev burns liquidity, then mints and dumps. Wait for mint renouncement.
Blacklist: Only whitelisted wallets can sell. Look for equal volume patterns on charts.
EVM Rugs:
EVM rugs are diverse. Most common is removing liquidity with a private transaction. Also watch for setfees99 – wait for renouncement or check limited max taxes. Any suspicious contract activity could indicate a rug.

General Tips:
On both Solana and EVM, wait for milestones like burn/lock/renouncement to avoid rugs, but be aware this might mean a higher entry point. Train to identify rugs quickly as patterns repeat.
