Ever notice how some devs on Polygon just rug functioning projects for quick gains—we're talking 14k dumps? Here's what puzzles people: if they actually locked tokens, shipped regular updates, did basic visual polish, engaged with the community, showed legitimate code audits and bonded commitments, they could realistically generate 5-10x returns through proper project growth instead. The gap between short-term exit strategies and sustainable value creation is wild. It raises questions about incentive structures in early-stage projects. Why take the immediate loss of credibility when the legitimate path exists? Token locking mechanisms, transparent development roadmaps, and community governance seem like obvious moves, yet some devs still opt for the rug play. Worth asking: what's driving these decisions?
