Why emergency withdrawal is important?

Many smaller projects and coins out there are popping up these days, especially as we are in the midst of the biggest crypto bull-run in history. It is, therefore, no surprise that some dodgy characters have entered the space with the intention of lying and manipulating users in an attempt to get their hard-earned coins.

These scams can often come in the way of projects and tokens that result in “rug pulls”. This is when a small, previously unknown project appears and gains a minimal following, giving the token some value.

Once this is established, the development team use code they encoded into the system to steal the tokens from the users, or in other cases they sell all of their development tokens when the price is high, netting them a nice profit while the price crashes, crushing users’ investment.

Emergency withdrawal is a great way to prevent against these scams as when you first start seeing signs of things going wrong and feel the need that the project is about to get rug pulled, you can get out straight away. Some tell-tale signs of this are when the site suddenly changes, the dev team suddenly become unresponsive, or more.
