Scammers have found a way to burn tokens from inside Solana wallets
Reports have emerged of users buying tokens and not seeing it show up in their wallet balances.
Scammers have reportedly stumbled across a new way to rug-pull Solana users’ crypto — this time, by burning users’ tokens within seconds of their purchase.
According to Slorg, a member of Solana-based Jupiter’s Core Working Group, scammers have started to use an in-built Solana token extension to stealthily delete their target’s crypto holdings.
“Imagine you swap for a token and the wallet history confirms that you received it. But then you look inside and nothing shows up,” said Slorg in a Sept. 3 post on X.
