About
When community fights the rug.
Holders choose one coin a week. Creator rewards from DeRug buy it gradually for eligible holders.
Why DeRug exists
The project can disappear. The community often stays.
Coins get rugged, abandoned, or crash. What was built around them can vanish with the team. A real community often remains.
The mechanism
One coin. One week.
01
The coin
Hold DeRug
People hold DeRug. Creator rewards come from activity around the DeRug coin.
02
Monday–Tuesday
Nominate
Eligible holders nominate rugged, abandoned, or crashed coins that still have active communities.
03
Wednesday
Review
DeRug reviews the nominations and publishes the coins that qualify.
04
Thursday–Sunday
Vote
Eligible holders vote. You must hold DeRug and be eligible to nominate or vote.
05
When voting closes
A gradual buy
That week’s creator rewards buy the winning coin gradually for eligible holders, not all at once. There is not one artificial green candle, and the buy is less likely to become immediate exit liquidity. The goal is sustained attention and activity, not a donation.
Creator rewards
Used, not simply collected.
Those rewards could be taken and kept. They are used this way instead, so activity around DeRug becomes that week’s buy for eligible holders — attention returned to a community that stayed, not a donation.
Standards
Not every coin qualifies.
A real remaining community
Meaningful history
Transparent information
Evidence of abandonment or failure
No obvious manipulation
More details before launch.
DeRug is not built to save every coin. It is built to back the communities that survived the rug.
