5/ I started working on this thread before the recent Proxy reveal. My goal isn’t to assign blame — I believed the early support for these projects and “devs” came not from bad intentions, but from a lack of vigilance and information. But with what we now know, for some people these findings might land differently. What shocked me most wasn’t the grift — it was how public everything was. No real effort to hide the fraud. It’s clear the actor(s) noticed that the most successful tokens on Clanker were launched by real builders — and decided to ride that hype for personal gain. But I don’t want cases like this to hurt legitimate projects. But they will — if people stay silent or shrug off bad cases like this. As social and financial layers continue to merge, we need greater skepticism and better tools to support informed decision-making. I’m working on something in this space with @reachbot follow along if you're interested.
