From Hype to Collapse: Investigating Rug Pull Scams on Solana

Solana has experienced rapid growth due to its high performance and low transaction costs, but the extremely low barrier to token issuance has also enabled widespread Rug Pulls. Unlike Ethereum-based Rug Pulls, which often rely on malicious smart-contract logic, Solana's unified SPL Token program shifts fraudulent execution toward on-chain behavioral manipulation. However, existing research has not systematically examined these Solana-specific Rug Pull patterns, and no public Solana Rug Pull dataset is available for empirical research. To bridge this gap, we present a large-scale measurement study of Rug Pulls on Solana. We manually verify 68 community-reported incidents and curate a benchmark of 117 confirmed Rug Pull tokens, from which we distill three representative on-chain behavioral patterns: Freeze Authority Abuse, Liquidity Withdrawal, and Pump-and-Dump. Guided by these patterns, we design a behavior-guided candidate identification and human-validation pipeline. We apply this pipeline to 100,063 tokens newly issued on Orca, Raydium, and Meteora during the first half of 2025, identifying 76,469 Rug Pull tokens. A random manual audit of 382 samples estimates a labeling false-positive rate of 0.26\%, supporting the reliability of the dataset. We release the resulting dataset and use it to characterize the Solana Rug Pull ecosystem. Our analysis shows that Rug Pulls on Solana exhibit extremely short lifecycles, strong price-driven dynamics, severe economic losses, and highly organized group behaviors. These findings provide new insights into the Solana Rug Pull landscape and support the development of effective on-chain defense mechanisms.

A Peer-to-peer Federated Continual Learning Network for Improving CT Imaging from Multiple Institutions

Deep learning techniques have been widely used in computed tomography (CT) but require large data sets to train networks. Moreover, data sharing among multiple institutions is limited due to data privacy constraints, which hinders the development of high-performance DL-based CT imaging models from multi-institutional collaborations. Federated learning (FL) strategy is an alternative way to train the models without centralizing data from multi-institutions. In this work, we propose a novel peer-to-peer federated continual learning strategy to improve low-dose CT imaging performance from multiple institutions. The newly proposed method is called peer-to-peer continual FL with intermediate controllers, i.e., icP2P-FL. Specifically, different from the conventional FL model, the proposed icP2P-FL does not require a central server that coordinates training information for a global model. In the proposed icP2P-FL method, the peer-to-peer federated continual learning is introduced wherein the DL-based model is continually trained one client after another via model transferring and inter institutional parameter sharing due to the common characteristics of CT data among the clients. Furthermore, an intermediate controller is developed to make the overall training more flexible. Numerous experiments were conducted on the AAPM low-dose CT Grand Challenge dataset and local datasets, and the experimental results showed that the proposed icP2P-FL method outperforms the other comparative methods both qualitatively and quantitatively, and reaches an accuracy similar to a model trained with pooling data from all the institutions.
