Anti-Rug Pull is a real-time DeFi safety net that detects threats, freezes risky transactions, and protects MetaMask Card funds automatically.
Anti-Rug Pull is an automated, real-time security layer built specifically for MetaMask Card users to protect their on-chain assets from scams, exploits, and rug pulls. It functions like an immune system for DeFi, offering proactive protection before damage occurs.
This smart agent continuously monitors every transaction made using the MetaMask Card. It integrates Forta, Debank APIs, and custom risk heuristics to scan for malicious activity, such as suspicious proxy contracts, abnormal slippage, unauthorized token mints, or known exploit patterns.
Upon detecting a threat, it triggers an instant freeze using the MetaMask Delegation Toolkit (DTK) to block fund movements. Then, leveraging the LI.FI SDK and Circle CCTP v2, it bridges vulnerable funds (USDC) to a designated safe fallback chain or directly to the user’s Circle Wallet, optionally supporting insurance-ready flows.
The system also includes a user-friendly dashboard where users can customize risk thresholds, set fallback destinations, and monitor all security activity across chains in real-time.
It’s built with:
MetaMask SDK & DTK for wallet integration and authority management
Circle Wallets + USDC + CCTP v2 for secure fund handling
LI.FI SDK for seamless multi-chain bridging
React + Node + Solidity for full-stack implementation
Anti-Rug Pull solves DeFi’s biggest barrier—trust—by turning passive users into protected participants.
During the hackathon, we successfully conceptualized, designed, and built the core architecture of Anti-Rug Pull: The DeFi Shield. We implemented the real-time threat detection logic using mock Forta and Debank datasets, integrated the MetaMask SDK and Delegation Toolkit (DTK) to simulate transaction freezing, and connected LI.FI SDK with Circle CCTP for secure cross-chain USDC rebalancing. A fully functional frontend dashboard was developed using React, showcasing live alerts, security preferences, and fallback chain controls. Our backend logic in Node.js and Solidity powers smart contract interactions and threat responses. We also created demo simulations of freeze-and-bridge flows with UI feedback, ensuring a smooth user journey. From idea to secure prototype, we’ve built a complete MVP ready to scale.
We are currently pre-funding but actively exploring strategic partnerships and grant opportunities to accelerate development. Our goal is to turn Anti-Rug Pull into a core DeFi security infrastructure product, with applications across wallets, dApps, and payment systems. With a working prototype, clear market need, and bonus-aligned integrations (MetaMask SDK, DTK, LI.FI, Circle), we're focused on refining the protocol, expanding multi-chain support, and onboarding early adopters. We’re open to funding discussions with VCs, DAOs, and ecosystem partners who share our vision of building a safer, trust-first future for Web3 finance.
