### **What is Anti-Rug Protection?**

Anti-Rug Protection is a security feature designed to safeguard users from "rug pulls," a type of scam where developers abandon a token project, taking investors' funds and leaving them with worthless tokens. These scams often happen suddenly, leaving users with no time to react.

#### **Why Do Rug Pulls Happen?**

* **Lack of transparency:** Unscrupulous developers hide intentions behind the project.
* **Centralized liquidity:** Developers control most of the token’s liquidity pool.
* **Hype over fundamentals:** Users invest based on social media buzz rather than solid research.

### **How Fred Bot Protects You**

Fred Bot’s **Anti-Rug Protection** uses smart tracking to help you before it’s too late:

1. **Real-Time Monitoring**
   * Detect unusual activity in token contracts.
   * Insights about the token’s developer.
   * Auto-sell your holdings before the dev approves the token for sale or transfers the balance to another wallet.
2. **Token-Specific Protection**
   * Each monitored token is isolated to ensure precise and secure tracking.
   * Each user can manage the activation and deactivation of Anti-Rug Protection for specific tokens, providing full flexibility.
   * This feature is available for Fun Agents.
3. **Limitations**
   * Anti-Rug Protection is currently in its **Beta Stage** and only available to $Fred token holders.
   * Protection may not guarantee full avoidance of losses if the rug pull happens extremely quickly.

### Requirements:

* You need to hold at least **1,000,000** [$Fred token](https://fun.virtuals.io/agents/0x002DcC078A3dCFe3f4C97133181475fF16CFC7D2) in your bot wallet to activate the feature. \
  (These values ​​are subject to change).
* To activate Anti-Rug Protection for a specific token, your balance for that token must be greater than zero.

### **Anti-Rug Priority Access**

Holders of $FRED tokens gain exclusive access to the **Anti-Rug Protection Service**, the service prioritizes users based on the number of $FRED tokens held, with three priority levels:

1. **Priority Level 1**: Holders with **10,000,000 $FRED** or more enjoy **top-tier access**, ensuring the fastest response and **automatic Anti-Rug** activation, ensuring maximum protection during potential rug-pull scenarios.
2. **Priority Level 2**: Holders with **5,000,000 to 9,999,999 $FRED** receive **high-priority service**, guaranteeing swift intervention and robust security.
3. **Priority Level 3**: Holders with **1,000,000 to 4,999,999 $FRED** are granted **standard priority access**, offering reliable protection and proactive measures.

### **How to Use Anti-Rug Protection:**

If you have **Priority Level 1**, you can enable automatic Anti-Rug protection through the `/agent` menu.\
This means that every time you buy a fun agent, Anti-Rug will be automatically activated ✅

For **Priority Levels 2 and 3**, Anti-Rug must be activated manually for each token.

1. After buy a fun agent, click on the Anti-Rug option to activate it.&#x20;
2. Use the insights provided to act swiftly, stay vigilant.
3. Fred will auto-sell all your balance if owner approve the token for sale or a suspicious transfer.
4. If you sell your entire balance of a token and later buy it again, you will need to reactivate Anti-Rug  for that token.
5. You’ll receive a detailed log message containing all the information about the auto-sell transaction.

### **Important Notes**

Make sure you have enough ETH in your wallet to cover gas fees as a priority when using Anti-Rug Protection.

It is necessary to control the anti-rug by token in the initial phase, because if there are many active users for the same token, early users may benefit while later users could be adversely affected!

Anti-Rug Protection is a tool to assist you in identifying potential risks. It cannot replace your responsibility to do your own research (DYOR) and exercise caution while trading.
