Trust should be visible.
DeRug is built around a simple idea: if a system asks for trust, it should make its process visible.
Before launch, we’re publishing how DeRug will handle review, voting, holder eligibility, and weekly purchases.
At launch, the records behind those actions will begin to go public.
Transparency is part of the product.
DeRug is not built to operate behind closed doors.
The goal is to make the weekly cycle understandable, reviewable, and eventually trackable by the people taking part in it.
That includes how projects are reviewed, how winners are selected, and how creator rewards are deployed into the winning coin.
Public records
At launch, DeRug will begin publishing the records that matter most to participants in the weekly cycle.
This will include cycle activity, selected projects, and other public-facing data tied to how the system operates.
Open decision history
Each cycle will leave a visible trail.
DeRug plans to make it clear which projects were qualified, which moved to voting, and which coin won the cycle.
The goal is for participation and outcomes to be understandable over time — not hidden behind announcements alone.
Community review process
Not every rugged or crashed coin should qualify.
DeRug will publish its review framework so communities understand what is being checked before a coin reaches the voting stage.
That review process is expected to include:
- whether a real community still exists
- project history
- public project information
- signs of abandonment or failure
- obvious manipulation risks
Holder eligibility
DeRug participation is designed around holders.
The rules that determine who can nominate, vote, and qualify to receive the winning coin will be made public before launch.
The goal is to make the participation model understandable and to reduce confusion around each weekly cycle.
Public wallets
When DeRug goes live, public-facing wallet information will be introduced wherever possible for transparency around treasury activity and operational flows.
This page will later point to the wallets relevant to the DeRug system.
Weekly purchase visibility
DeRug does not intend to buy the winning coin in one single spike.
The winning coin will be bought gradually for eligible holders using that week’s creator rewards.
At launch, this page will begin showing the framework for how those purchases are tracked and how the cycle moves from voting to buying.
Future smart contract transparency
As the DeRug ecosystem expands, contract-level transparency will become part of the public record.
This page will later be used to reference official contracts, addresses, and related on-chain resources.
The goal is simple:
make the process clear before participation begins,
and make the record visible once the system is live.
DeRug is being built so the weekly cycle is not just announced — it is understood.
