Week 25, 2026: $64,404,228 extracted from retail investors across PancakeSwap V2, PancakeSwap V3, Uniswap V2, and Uniswap V3 – up 18.9% from Week 24, reaccelerating rather than reverting to the earlier plateau. Three consecutive weeks above 10,000 rug pull events. Running 25-week total crosses $800M: $822,350,515.
Week 24, 2026: $54,181,856 extracted from retail investors across PancakeSwap V2, PancakeSwap V3, Uniswap V2, and Uniswap V3 – down 21.4% from Week 23’s record, but still the second-highest weekly value in the dataset. Rug pull events climbed to a new peak of 11,164 (+1.9%). The extraction baseline has structurally shifted upward. Running 24-week total: $757.9M.
Week 23, 2026: $68,937,024 extracted from retail investors across PancakeSwap V2, PancakeSwap V3, Uniswap V2, and Uniswap V3 – more than double Week 22’s level (+112.4%) and a new single-week peak. Rug pull events also hit a new high at 10,955 (+67.1%). The predicted W24-W26 acceleration cycle arrived early. Running 23-week total: $703.8M.
Six platforms are competing to become the trust layer for agentic commerce in 2026 – ERC-8004 native, RNWY, SkyeProfile, AXIS T-Score, DJD, and ChainAware. Each answers a fundamentally different question. This guide maps every methodology, every blind spot, and the five signals only one platform provides, with a decision matrix for DeFi builders, agent creators, and investors.
The ERC-8004 registry tells you an agent exists. It does not tell you whether to trust it. This guide explains why Know Your Agent (KYA) is the missing trust layer for DeFi protocol builders in 2026 – and how scoring the owner wallet, feeder address, and rug pull history closes the gap before funds move.
CB Insights named ChainAware.ai in its AI Fraud Prevention Market Map – placing it in the On-Chain Intelligence subcategory alongside Chainalysis, Elliptic, and TRM Labs. 200+ companies selected. One mission: building the trust and intelligence infrastructure the worldwide AI revolution demands.
Week 22, 2026: $32,459,995 extracted from retail investors on PancakeSwap V2 – virtually unchanged from Week 21’s $32,422,973 (+0.1%). Two consecutive weeks at the same extraction level signals a plateau. The $32.5M floor is not a recovery – it is the baseline the rug pull industry sustains between cycles. Running 22-week total: $634.8M.
Week 21, 2026: $32.4M extracted from retail investors on PancakeSwap V2 – down 15.7% vs Week 20, but rug pull events jumped +24.4% to 6,768. More operators, lower average value per rug. The W20 high-value spike is giving way to broader-volume extraction. Running 21-week total: $602.7M.
Week 20, 2026 produced the largest week-over-week spike in our 20-week dataset – $39.9M extracted from retail investors on PancakeSwap V2, a 191% jump from Week 19. 5,439 confirmed rug pull events. No media coverage. No industry response. The weekly tracker that publishes what nobody else measures.
$569,388,384. That is not a headline from a dramatic DeFi hack. No Twitter threads trended. No security firms issued emergency advisories. No mainstream crypto media
