The $6 Billion Problem

$6,000,000,000

Lost to DeFi rug pulls in 2025 alone

You’ve worked hard to build your crypto portfolio. Maybe you’ve turned $5,000 into $50,000. Maybe you’re sitting on six figures and looking for ways to make your money work harder.

But here’s the terrifying truth: One wrong click on the wrong DeFi protocol, and it could all disappear in seconds.

Not because of a market crash. Not because of bad trades. But because you trusted a project that was designed from day one to steal your funds.

The Worst Part?

These scams are getting more sophisticated:

  • Professional-looking websites that mirror legitimate protocols
  • Fake audits from companies that don’t exist
  • Smart contracts with hidden backdoors that experts miss
  • Social media campaigns with thousands of fake followers
  • Anonymous teams hiding behind AI-generated profile photos

And the authorities? They can’t help you. Once your crypto is gone, it’s gone forever.
