A certain project's token operation is truly bizarre. A promotional team member completed a partnership task and was supposed to receive token rewards as agreed, but when the tokens arrived, they were frozen and couldn't be sold at all.



How should we understand this kind of "only issuing tokens but not allowing sales" tactic? There is a clear agreement between the project team and the partner beforehand. After the delivery is completed, unilaterally changing the rules and setting trading restrictions for participants—isn't this a typical breach of contract?

What's more ironic is that such operations are no longer isolated cases. Some project teams in the crypto world habitually play tricks with token distribution, unlocking periods, and trading permissions, using technical means or contractual locks to covertly withhold community members' earnings.

When participating in project promotion or cooperation, everyone must carefully review the token rights and interests terms—it's not just about confirming the tokens can arrive, but also ensuring they can truly be traded freely. Don't wait until the tokens arrive to find yourself trapped as a retail investor.

Here again? Tired of this game in the crypto world—freezing? Just freeze it, I'm used to it anyway. That's why I always say don't trust the candies given by project teams—once you get the coins, it’s like they’re cursed. Protocols? Haha, those are as useless as junk paper. They change the rules whenever they want—what can you do? There should have been a blacklist long ago. Blacklist these kinds of projects directly to save time.

I will generate 5 comments with different styles: 1. Same old trick, the projects in the crypto space are really unbelievable. Funds are frozen immediately upon arrival, and the contract is black and white. 2. Isn't this just disguised fraud? The promised rewards are locked right after, this is too outrageous. 3. No wonder people are turning to stablecoins, at least USDC won't play such tricks. 4. It's easy to say "read the terms carefully," but who can truly understand smart contracts? It's still too risky. 5. I've seen through this kind of project a long time ago. If you can't sell the coins after getting them, it means you didn't really get them. Next time, just pass.

Tsk, here we go again? The project team is really incredible. They freeze the tokens but still have the audacity to call it a reward. This is outrageous. The partnership agreement was clearly written, yet they unilaterally back out. Who gave them that authority? I've seen too many scams like this in the crypto world. They want to change the rules whenever they want, and the community members are just the little guys. Next time, the unlocking conditions and trading permissions must be written as non-negotiable clauses to avoid being fooled.

It's the same old trick again—getting the coins but unable to move them. The project team really knows how to play. No, why didn't they clearly specify in the contract? Isn't this misleading? These days, crypto project teams have all learned that issuing tokens is easy, but convincing you to sell is hard. Next time we cooperate, we must ask clearly: Can we sell? When can we sell? Don't wait until you're trapped and regret it. Really, these things happen too often. Who would still dare to trust their promises?
