High-risk project alert: @farlegacy just launched a token $SHARD , and the dev quickly sold after launch, cashing out over $30K.

They seem like a very experienced team, building a card miniapp around Base memecoins, driving viral growth through referral link sharing, and previously attempting to sell NFTs. Now they’ve issued a token to pull people in and then quickly rug. 

Looking closely, the scam was obvious from the start. Always stay alert in crypto!

surest sign of a scam lately is a slick app that appears fully formed out of nowhere promising you free money. don't let them run this rug playbook.

Whatever your decentralized, borderless, neutral, censorship-resistant open blockchain question is, the answer is YES… to Crypto!

have said it before but the social layer needs to police this and build immunity against this behavior. Farcaster cannot simply "ban scammers"

I think most Farcaster builders would be really unhappy with a more permissioned process. Maybe some kind of opt in verification, I'm not sure.

Can we just move to doxxed founding teams as a base requirrment?

🚩 created by a brand account with zero history 
🚩 slick but shallow website
🚩🚩 "mining" for anything
🚩🚩 appropriating fc native brands
🚩🚩 "we built a cool game but you can't see it"
🚩🚩🚩  nobody's ever met the team 
🚩🚩🚩 pay us now and you might get something later

✅ went on @gmfarcaster to help us learn how to dungeon
✅ came to karaoke at FarCon
✅ has met a lot of us IRL
☘️  Irish accents

yes, let's contrast as an exercise:

✅ made by a known team with lots of activity unrelated to the project
✅ built iteratively in public, we saw you on the TL and in the dev chat
✅ took time and effort, did not appear out of nowhere
✅ meaningfully engaged with user feedback
✅ built the app before bothering with a marketing page or Twitter check

I was so excited for 2025 due to legal guidelines.

Turns out those are still months if not years away and we just have crime season in the meantime.

Now, I am sad(der).

What are all these new 'mining' apps on my feed? 

What are we mining? Mini App Dev rewards for their devs?

All popfi clones?

Account with 17K followers and 10 posts is always a great sign too.

I was even thinking he’s using it to farm engagement 

But man has a bigger plan 😂

It's a shame people with that kind of ability use it to for bad. Makes me sad

Annoying to see as real builders get ignored to chase false promises :(

Sounds like....farcaster miniapps in 2025? 🤔

The funniest part is how dogshit the miniapp actually looks 

Unironically barely above ms paint level assets and shit lmao

Facts if it’s shiny + ‘risk-free,’ it’s already sus 🚩
