The team here at iwasrugged.com have been crypto enthusiasts for quite some time. We have seen the good the bad and the ugly and have been victims to multiple rug-pulls along the way. We believe wearing your heart on your sleeve (or in this case who rugged you) is the best medicine. Don’t suffer alone, let the world know who wronged you so we can commiserate and hopefully in the end, laugh about it and not let it happen again!

Don’t get rugged.
With all the failures over the years of centralized crypto exchanges you would think we would have all wised up at this point. The phrase “not your keys not your crypto” has never been more true so there is no time like the present. The team here at iwasrugged.com likes Ledger hardware wallets but really any wallet that you control yourself is better than keeping your tokens under someone else control. Here are some links to get you started.
Ledger
Ledger hardware wallets offer an extra layer of protection with a physical device needed to approve all your blockchain transactions. Your computer or phone may be exposed to hackers but not your external ledger wallet.
Blockchain.com
Blockchain.com makes a great mobile wallet for both Android and iOS devices. These guys were one of the first and still one of the easiest to use.
Metamask
Metamask is a browser or app based wallet for Ethereum and several other chains but is one of the easiest ways to interact with most Web3 websites. You can even use your Ledger wallet with their browser extension for added security.
