BlockBeats News, March 13th, Etherscan posted on social media that Ethereum experienced approximately 17 million rug pull attempts from 2022 to 2024, affecting 1.3 million users, with confirmed losses of at least $79.3 million. After the Fusaka upgrade on December 3, 2025, transaction costs significantly decreased, and dust transfers saw an explosive 612% increase.
Etherscan recommended users take the following actions:
· Before transferring, manually verify the full destination address (most important)
· Add a private name tag to frequently used addresses + use ENS domains
· Enable Etherscan Address Highlight feature
· Pay attention to popup reminders when copying addresses
