Coping with the volatility of Solana Telegram robots: A guide to avoiding DeFi Rug Pulls

Solana's Telegram-based cryptobot, taking the $4.65 million Aqua scam as an example, highlights the rise in DeFi fraud risks. Endorsements from entities such as Meteora and Quill Audits failed to stop the scam, with 21,770 SOLs vanishing before TGE. The broader trend shows that Solana-related fraud amounts exceeded $889 million in the third quarter of 2025, and 80% of the tokens issued in 2024 ended in a scam. Investors are advised to carefully check on-chain data, use AI tools for real-time fraud detection, avoid unverified pre-sales, and prioritize security measures against malware.
