Data covers PancakeSwap V2, PancakeSwap V3, Uniswap V2, and Uniswap V3. Week 31 = week ending Sunday, August 2, 2026.

Week 31 saw $31,345,293 extracted from retail investors – up 9.8% from Week 30’s $28,552,789. 7,126 confirmed rug pull events were recorded this week, the highest weekly event count since Week 23. The running total since tracking began now stands at $684,456,935.

Week 31 Key Numbers

Week 31 Analysis

Rug Events Hit Their Highest Level Since Week 23

7,126 rug pull events is the highest weekly count since Week 23’s 8,276, and continues an upward trend that has now run for three consecutive weeks in event count terms even as extracted dollar value dipped in Week 30. New pool mints also jumped 12.8% to 11,000 – the first time mints have crossed 11,000 since Week 27 – suggesting the broader token launch environment picked back up this week after the quieter W29-W30 period.

Fraud Value Reaccelerates, But Roughly in Line With Activity

The 9.8% rise in extracted fraud tracked closely with the 8.5% rise in rug events and the 12.8% rise in new mints – unlike some recent weeks where fraud value and activity moved at very different rates. Average extraction per event was $4,399, up only 1.2% from Week 30’s $4,347, indicating this week’s increase was driven mainly by more rug events happening, not by each individual rug becoming more lucrative.

Removed-to-Added Ratio Eases Slightly

The removed-to-added liquidity ratio was 1.386x this week, down slightly from 1.414x in Week 30 – creators removed $1.39 for every $1.00 they seeded, a marginal easing in extraction efficiency even as raw activity picked up. The rug-to-mint ratio eased to 64.8% from 67.3%, consistent with the larger pool of new mints this week diluting the share that ended in a rug pull, even though the absolute number of rug events rose.

About This Tracker

ChainAware.ai’s weekly rug pull tracker monitors liquidity removal fraud across PancakeSwap V2 and V3 on BNB Smart Chain and Uniswap V2 and V3 on Ethereum. Rug pull fraud is defined as the USD-equivalent value of liquidity removed by the pool creator that exceeds the USD-equivalent value of liquidity added by the creator – a net extraction event, measured in USD-side value only. The tracker uses ChainAware’s predictive rug pull detection engine, which achieves 90.1% detection accuracy in V3 – see the full Rug Pull Detector methodology for how the model scores deployer wallets and liquidity events.

Data covers PancakeSwap V2, PancakeSwap V3, Uniswap V2, and Uniswap V3. Week 32 = week ending Sunday, August 9, 2026.

Week 32 extended the reacceleration that began in Week 31. $34,942,744 was extracted from retail investors – up 11.5% from Week 31’s $31,349,015. 7,839 confirmed rug pull events were recorded this week, the highest weekly count since Week 28’s 8,351 – though still well below the 2026 peak of 8,677 set in Week 21. The running total since tracking began now stands at $720,060,930.

Week 32 Key Numbers

Week 32 Analysis

Second Straight Week of Rising Fraud and Activity Together

Unlike the divergent patterns seen in several recent weeks, Week 32 saw fraud value, rug events, pool creation, and new mints all rise together. Total pools jumped 13.4% to 11,741, new mints rose 8.8% to 11,967, and rug events climbed 9.9% to 7,839 – the highest weekly event count since Week 28’s 8,351, though still short of the 2026 high of 8,677 set back in Week 21. The broad-based nature of this increase – every major metric moving in the same direction – suggests genuine growth in overall pool creation activity rather than a shift in the composition of what’s being tracked.

Extraction Efficiency Also Ticked Up

The removed-to-added liquidity ratio rose to 1.412x from 1.387x in Week 31 – creators removed $1.41 for every $1.00 they seeded, continuing to climb after two straight weeks of easing. Average extraction per rug event was $4,458, up 1.4% from Week 31’s $4,397. Both figures point to a slightly more aggressive extraction pattern this week, on top of – not instead of – the higher raw activity.

Rug-to-Mint Ratio Holds Steady

The rug-to-mint ratio was 65.5% this week, essentially flat versus Week 31’s 64.8%. With both the numerator (rug events) and denominator (new mints) growing at a similar pace, the overall conversion rate from launch to rug has stayed consistent even as the absolute scale of activity increased – this looks like more of the same pattern happening at a larger scale, rather than a change in underlying behavior.
