Single-Sided LP Extraction

A rug pattern using Meteora DLMM pools with only the token side deposited. As retail buyers swap SOL into the pool, that SOL accumulates in the developer's LP position. The developer closes the position and takes the accumulated SOL. Used in LIBRA ($87.4M extracted), MELANIA, WOLF, and the NYC Token.

Tools Meteora A Solana AMM with Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM) pools. The single-sided LP extraction technique used in LIBRA, MELANIA, WOLF, and the NYC Token exploited Meteora's DLMM architecture — operators deposit only the token side and drain accumulating buyer SOL by closing the position. → Security Hard Rug A rug pull executed by the developer directly withdrawing liquidity from the AMM pool. The liquidity disappears in a single block, the token price goes to zero, and there is nothing to trade against. Mechanically closed for Pump.fun-graduated tokens via automatic LP burn; still active on manually-deployed pools. → Security Migration Rug A rug executed by the developer dumping pre-graduation holdings into thin post-migration liquidity during the graduation candle. The brief high-volume window immediately after migration is the exit window. The modal outcome for newly migrated Pump.fun tokens in 2026. →
