Scams in finance, pump-and-dump schemes, and 6 backdoor tricks: if these issues aren't resolved, don't invest your money.
Here's a rundown of 6 typical backdoor tricks in pump-and-dump schemes. If you fall for even one, your funds basically aren't yours anymore. Sharing this to help everyone avoid the traps:
1. Mapping Backdoor
The project team can arbitrarily 'map' the coins in your wallet to another address or block your transfers. In simple terms, your assets are under their control.
2. Minting Backdoor
They can mint as many tokens as they want, with no cap on the total supply. Once you buy in, they can mint more and dump, instantly devaluing your coins.
3. Slippage Backdoor
On the surface, slippage seems normal, but the project team can secretly adjust the slippage, making you sell at nearly zero or not be able to sell at all.
4. Blacklist
If someone doesn't comply, wants to assert their rights, or attempts a large sell-off, they’ll be blacklisted. Addresses on the blacklist can’t trade and can only watch their coins become worthless.
5. Centralized Issuance
All tokens are issued from a single address controlled by the project team, with no decentralization. If they decide to dump a large amount at an exchange one day, it will lead to a crash.
6. Single LP Addition
The liquidity pool is only added to by the project team. When they withdraw the LP, the pool dries up instantly, leaving you with nowhere to sell your coins.
Remember:
If any of these backdoors exist, the project is essentially a pump-and-dump scheme that can 'close shop' at any time. Only liquidity pools built on a truly decentralized chain are safe.
What does that mean? It means the contract is immutable, with no mapping/minting/blacklist privileges; the liquidity pool is added and managed collectively by retail investors, ensuring no one party can unilaterally drain the pool or restrict trading.
Liquidity pools that retail investors add to themselves and can withdraw from at any time are the only ones worth trusting.
Don’t pin your hopes on the 'integrity of the project team.' If you can’t understand on-chain data or verify the decentralization mechanism, don’t invest a dime. Only consider participating when you are sure the liquidity pool is decentralized, secure, and transparent.
