# Rug Pull Detection

## Context

BSC sponsored CertiK to develop a DeFi Project rug pull detection system
https://www.coingecko.com/en/glossary/rug-pulled



## Expected Output

slack notification when we suspect that a project has already rug pulled or has high risk of rug pull

some false positive is acceptable and is better than false negative

## Scope of Projects

All BSC projects

### attack analysis

3. filter transaction by block range: e.g. 100-109 (nice to have)
