SnowdogDAO (SDOG) - first meme coin Rugpull on Avalanche (AVAX)



There is now a meme coin on the Avalanche blockchain. However, SnowdogDAO (SDOG) lost a large part of its value within a few days. The incident could well be a rug pull, a scam.


What is a rug pull? On Alexandria we read:


“A rug pull is a fraudulent maneuver in the cryptocurrency industry in which crypto developers abandon a project and run away with investors' money. Rug pulls typically happen in the Decentralized Financial Ecosystem ( DeFi ), especially on Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs), where fraudulent individuals create a token and list it on a DEX and then link it to a leading cryptocurrency like Ethereum . "


An everyday rug pull

Let's take a look at the Snowdog course. Snowdog launched on November 18, 2021 at a price of $ 6,030. Within a few hours, the Snowdog price went down to under $ 2,000. The Snowdog price stayed in this range until November 26, 2021, when it plummeted to US $ 100. The trading volume for the last 24 hours was 1,844,574.25 US dollars - for comparison: the Bitcoin trading volume for the last 24 hours was 35,648,813,920 US dollars.


Snowdog is currently on position 3094 according to market capitalization, the maximum supply of coins is 34,134 SDOG coins.


Rug pull attracts interest in Avalanche

On the Snowdog website we read in relation to the roadmap that the Snowdog project started with a five-day minting period. From day 8 the swap for MIM tokens started. The plan was to swap SDOG for MIM in order to then start a massive buyback of SDOG from the SDOG-MIM liquidity pool.



Now the Snowdog price drop looks like a rug pull. The uncertainty about what was going on at Snowdog led to record-breaking Google searches for Avalanche / AVAX


A highlight of the Snowdog project should be the gigantic buyback of the tokens, while Snowdog's "treasure trove" rose to a total of 44 million US dollars within 8 days. It has not yet been finally clarified whether the subsequent course was actually a scam or simply a failure of the team. What is clear, however, is that many investors have lost a large part of their money. Only one Snowdog address profited greatly and was able to look forward to a profit of 10 million US dollars .


The anonymous developer @artoriamaster explains that part of the SnowdogDAO contract was known to at least one person. As a result, the sale of the SDOG tokens began even before the official buyback.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
