Someone just copied the core mechanics of a popular DeFi project. Look, this is exactly why you should keep your product under wraps until launch day. Build in stealth mode. Don't go public with your roadmap months ahead of time. Let competitors guess. When you finally release? That's when everyone sees what you've actually built. Lesson here: silence is strategy.

NGL, stealth mode is indeed a bit naive... The espionage battles in this circle are extremely fierce.

Honestly, the stealth mode approach is now outdated. Some projects are inherently easy to copy, and with similar core mechanisms, there's not much barrier to replication.

As for plagiarism, to put it simply, it's a sign of danger on the technical side. Look at those projects that have already bottomed out; the head and shoulders top pattern has been showing on the K-line for a while, and they still don't realize it.

NGL, this set of arguments sounds good, but the reality is that the more secretive you are, the more competitors want to poach... To put it simply, the product itself needs to be strong enough.

Copying this trick is too lame; real product strength can't be hidden at all.

Plagiarism is too common in the crypto world. To be honest, it's just a matter of not keeping confidentiality well enough.

I've heard this set of arguments too many times, and the result? Still the same, copied... Incognito mode can't save a project with poor product strength.

Plagiarism so blatant? Truly incredible. That's why I've always said that quietly making a fortune is the right way.

Copying has long been a thing I'm used to; it all depends on who can run faster.

From the perspective of the supply and demand curve, the argument that "confidentiality equals competitiveness" is as naive as Van Gogh selling paintings — the more you hide and hoard, the more it appears that there's nothing worth hiding.
