Summary

Aqua (also known as AquaBot) was a Solana-based Telegram trading bot that conducted a presale in September 2025, raising approximately 21,770 SOL ($4.65 million) from retail investors before executing an apparent exit scam. On-chain investigator ZachXBT flagged the project after presale funds were split into four tranches, routed through intermediary wallets, and sent to instant exchanges hours before the scheduled token generation event. The project had secured endorsements from multiple established Solana ecosystem participants — including Meteora, Helius, Dialect, SYMMIO — and had received a near-perfect audit score from QuillAudits just days before the alleged rug pull.
