anchored·pqDsWL…ay69Summary
SudoRare was an anonymous NFT automated market maker (AMM) protocol launched on August 23, 2022, presented as a fork of SudoSwap and LooksRare. Approximately six hours after launch, the anonymous development team executed a premeditated rugpull via a backdoored smart contract, draining approximately 519 ETH (valued at $815,000–$852,000) from user deposits before deleting all online presence. Blockchain security firms PeckShield and CertiK traced a funding wallet to Kraken, but no public arrests or legal proceedings have been reported.
