The developers had used social media to gain popularity for this DeFi app. Popularization was done through social media marketing before issuing and listing the tokens on a decentralized exchange (DEX). After the sale, the developers disappeared, leaving the buyers in utter shock. This scam is known as a Textbook rug pull and resulted in the loss of tokens worth $600,000.
Reports suggested that Blur had more than 754 holders on the BNB chain. The DeFi project had recently tied knots with Polygon and supplied annualized yields of 4,000% last week with the contact made on July 7. The BLR token of Blur fell 99% as an effect of the rug pull, trading at $.00064 at the time of writing. Last week, its price peaked at 6 cents.
A rug pull valued at $3.5 million occurred last week for investors in Polygon-based Web3 game Dragoma. $420,000 USDT and 880,000 MATIC also reportedly vanished from a polygon contract.
