CroLend, presenting itself as an algorithmic, autonomous lending protocol built on top of the Cronos network, has deleted all social media pages, the website doesn’t work, and its TVL has been drained to $0.
This prompted the community to argue that this is the latest example of a rug pull in the space.

- These include the Twitter account and Medium posts, while the website doesn’t work as of writing these lines.
- According to DeFiLlama, the Total Value Locked on CroLend Finance has plummeted to $0 after peaking at almost $600,000 earlier.
