据称一家营养补充剂公司雇佣了一群网络水军,让他们冒充名人,欺骗投资者,并兜售其代币。这个计划在一段时间内奏效,但后来被拆穿。

Insane Labz 是一家总部位于阿肯色州的补品公司,在 MMA(综合格斗)和 Barstool Sports 界享有盛誉,也是 Gary Vaynerchuk 创业指导计划的前客户。Insane Labz 于 5 月推出了 LABZ 代币,在其路线图中,该项目承诺与「经过审查的名人」合作。但是该项目鼓励水军冒充名人,如 UFC 总裁 Dana White、MMA 传奇人物 Nate Diaz 和社交媒体人物 Hasbulla,并在项目的 Telegram 群组中大肆宣传 LABZ 代币。

这一骗局帮助 LABZ 代币的市值从 300 万美元飙升至巅峰时期的 1500 万美元。该代币如今几乎一文不值,跌幅超过 90%。但在此之前,这些明显的骗局欺骗了一些不太识货的投资者买入。

Decrypt 和区块链分析公司 Bubblemaps 审查的区块链数据显示,与 Insane Labz 团队相关的加密钱包向这群喷子支付了一小笔费用,每人 155 美元的 Solana。

「我们只是为了开个玩笑,但结果有点失控,」其中一位假冒者表示。

 

「Hasbulla」进入聊天,有投资者质疑是否真是 Hasbulla

「Hasbulla」加入聊天

5 月 16 日,第一位假名人「TheOfficialHasbulla」加入了 Insane Labz Telegram 聊天室。该帐户似乎属于 Hasbulla Magomedovich Magomedov,Hasbulla 是一名患有侏儒症的网红,在 Instagram 上拥有 800 万粉丝。真正的 Magomedov 不会说英语,因此假冒的网红只能通过谷歌翻译和 GIF 进行交流。

尽管如此,一些用户在聊天中质疑他是不是真的。Insane Labz Telegram 群组的管理者对此含糊其辞。「也许他是真的,」Insane Labz 在 Telegram 群组中回复道。

用户立即对此做出了反应。

Insane Labz 代币在 12 小时内上涨了 115%。当时,与该公司关联的钱包尚未向假 Hasbulla 付款。在此期间,与 Insane Labz 关联的两个钱包出售了价值约 12,450 美元的 LABZ 代币,同时还购买了更多代币。

 以「Hasbulla」名义出售的 LABZ 关联钱包大肆宣传该项目

LABZ 的最大单笔销售发生在三天后的 5 月 19 日,当时代币的价格虽然已经过了峰值,但仍在高位。一位身份不明的鲸鱼抛售了价值超 7 万美元的代币,在代币发布当天购买 LABZ 后获利约 6.8 万美元。

Hasbulla 假冒者表示,他的朋友在接下来的两周内加入了该小组:假的终极格斗冠军赛(UFC)总裁 Dana White,以及假的 UFC 拳手 Nate Diaz。

Nate Diaz 假冒者解释说,假的 Hasbulla 经常加入一些群组,假装自己是著名的达吉斯坦人。「然后当我们看到 Insane Labz 对 Hasbulla 加入聊天的疯狂反应时,我们想换个方式,投入到玩笑中,」他说。

 当假冒的 Nate Diaz 在聊天中发言时,粉丝们很喜欢

Hasbulla 的业务经理 Justin Ozuna 表示,「Hasbulla 不知道这家公司或它的代币」。Justin Ozuna 帮助 Hasbulla 与 UFC 签订了 5 年的推广合同。「我高度怀疑 Dana White 和 Nate Diaz 的情况也是如此。」

另一位 LABZ 代币投资者表示,该项目不仅鼓励假冒者,而且「大力推崇这种玩笑」。Insane Labz「用名人的脸制作了 LABZ 代币表情包,每当名人发布聊天内容时,都会大肆宣传」。Insane Labz 首席执行官 Dustin Lebleu 甚至假装与真正的 Dana White 就该项目进行了 FaceTime 聊天。

「代币的创始人发布了他与‘Dana White’的 FaceTime 聊天,询问‘Dana’是否有聊天截图」。Telegram 聊天室的成员(包括一些假冒者和个人投资者)都表示他们认为是 Dustin Lebleu 在管理该账户。

这位投资者说:「他后来发布了一张我认为是经过处理的 FaceTime 聊天照片」,并提供了 Insane Labz Telegram 群组的照片截图。

 根据 Insane Labz 账户,Dana White 与 LABZ 团队进行了 FaceTime 通话

5 月 28 日,假冒的 Dana White 告诉官方 Insane Labz Telegram 群,他计划赠送四张即将举行的 UFC 赛事门票。Insane Labz 团队顺势而为,并在 Twitter 上宣传了此次赠送活动。LABZ 代币因此上涨了 17%,正是在这时,Labz 团队联系了假冒的 White,提出要付款,以继续实施这一骗局。

假冒者声称,官方 Insane Labz 账户联系了假冒的 Dana White,并提出向这位「恶棍」和他的朋友付款,让他们继续在 Telegram 聊天中发送消息。最终,他们达成协议,每周支付 1 个 Solana(约 155 美元)。

数据公司 Bubblemaps 发现,向假冒者发送 1 个 SOL(150 美元)的支付钱包之一与最初创建 LABZ 代币的钱包之间存在联系。钱包 DvFne1 向钱包 CLrC8m 发送了 150 SOL(2.4 万美元),该钱包后来向冒名顶替者支付了总计 3 SOL(459 美元)。原始 DvFne1 钱包还为铸造 LABZ 代币的地址 FtfPXX 提供资金。

Bubblemaps 首席调查员 Thomas Perrin 表示:「我们可以假设中心钱包(DvFne1)是一个团队钱包,因为它是第一个为 FtfPXX 提供资金的钱包,而 FtfPXX 是铸造钱包」。「因此,支付钱包与团队钱包密切相关。」

Thomas Perrin 还声称,付款方式(即通过多个不同的钱包发送资金)很可疑。「为什么不使用带有营销标签的钱包?」

气泡图显示了支付钱包如何与铸币地址相关联

此外还审查了假冒者提供的 Telegram 截图,他们称这些截图显示 Labz 团队正在协调付款并在付款时提供付款交易链接。

「整件事都是欺诈」

在接下来的一个月里,总共有 15 个 SOL 被发送到假冒者的钱包里,他们声称这些钱包是由 Insane Labz 发送的。与此同时,LABZ 代币投资者都被误导名人代言是真实的。

Insane Labz 一投资者:「我意识到整件事都是欺诈。」

假冒者和 Insane Labz 之间的对话清楚地表明,该项目积极鼓励这种欺骗行为。根据模仿者提供的截图,在另一个名为「Labz UFC 炒作群」的电报群中,Insane Labz 账户的运营者与假名人开玩笑。

假 Nate Diaz 在私聊中写道:「我还以为真的 Nate 现在会疯掉哈哈」。Labz 账号回复道:「哈哈哈,你才是真正的 Nate……」

最明显的造假行为是 Hasbulla,他不会说英语,但假冒者在聊天中说得很流利。截图显示,有一次,这名 Hasbulla 假冒者表示,他会尝试找到 Hasbulla 文本转语音的 AI 来创建语音笔记。

Labz 账户回应道:「那太恶心了。」

 假 Hasbulla 曾考虑使用 AI

这些假名人表示,他们的 Telegram 收件箱被数百条粉丝的信息和电话淹没,他们想要证明他们是真实的。

一位 LABZ 代币投资者表示:「我发现整个事情都是欺诈行为,创始人完全知道这些人不是真正的 Dana White 等人,而是利用他们的名人效应来抬高代币价格。」「我当时卖掉了我的代币并离开了该群组。」

 LABZ 代币投资者会定期向这些喷子发送消息,询问他们是否真实

东窗事发

最终,炒作逐渐平息,代币价格下跌。作为应对,假冒者声称 Labz 团队问他们是否可以添加 Nickelback 的主唱 Chad Kroeger。他们同意了。

在 6 月 27 日添加了一个虚假的 Kroeger 账户后,代币上涨了 17%。但这只是昙花一现。该代币在接下来的两周内下跌了 74%。假明星和 Insane Labz 之间的沟通开始中断。

在有人加入 Labz 群聊并给「Dana White」发消息后,Insane Labz 团队指示假名人停止发言。当晚,Telegram 聊天被删除。Insane Labz 在其官方 X 账户上声称,该群已被删除,因为他们收到了死亡威胁。

现在一切都结束了,这些恶搞者们表示,他们对于冒充名人并没有感到不好意思。

假 Hasbulla 表示:「多年来我一直使用这个昵称,并且出现在数百个 Telegram 群中——从来没有人跟我如此玩过」。「任何有点脑子的人都能知道这是一个 Telegram 昵称而已。」

在进军加密货币之前,总部位于阿肯色州的 Insane Labz 成立于 2014 年,以其运动粉剂而闻名。根据 Zoominfo 数据,其产品在亚马逊和沃尔玛等在线零售商处销售,该公司每年的收入约为 1520 万美元。

该公司创始人兼首席执行官 Dustin Lebleu 是 VaynorMentors 的客户,VaynorMentors 是一家初创咨询服务公司,由著名企业家 Gary Vaynerchuk(更为人熟知的名字是 Gary Vee)经营。

Gary Vaynerchuk 在 2019 年的一篇博客文章中对 Dustin Lebleu 大加赞赏,但随后这篇博客文章就被删除了。

Gary Vaynerchuk 的一位代表表示:「Gary 本周与家人外出,但我们可以确认,自 2018 年短暂的咨询合作以来,Gary/VaynerX 与 Insane Labz 之间没有任何官方关联或代言」。

BIT Research: The 2028 Halving Is Not the End, the Real Shake-Up of the Bitcoin Mining Industry Is Just Beginning

The Bitcoin mining industry is undergoing its most complex structural adjustment since inception. Despite Bitcoin's price holding near $61,000 and the network hash rate approaching a record 1 ZH/s, miner profitability is deteriorating. The industry is operating close to its breakeven point, with the 2028 halving expected to accelerate consolidation. The challenges extend beyond the halving's subsidy reduction; the industry's revenue model has yet to successfully transition towards a fee-driven structure. Increasingly, mining companies are evolving from simple Bitcoin producers into infrastructure and energy operators, including providers of AI/HPC computing power. Competition is shifting from pure hash rate expansion to business model upgrades. Economic pressure is evident. The theoretical daily mining revenue at current prices is around $78 million, yet the actual figure is only about $33 million—a 136% gap. Transaction fees remain low at roughly $220k daily, far below historical implied levels. With a current estimated industry-wide breakeven price near $65,000, mining alone is struggling to generate ideal profits. The 2028 halving is projected to push the fundamental production cost floor to approximately $93,289. This will likely accelerate a shift towards consolidation among larger, well-capitalized miners with diversified revenue streams. Competitive advantage will belong to institutionalized players with access to low-cost energy, AI/HPC hosting operations, and stronger balance sheets. In essence, Bitcoin mining is transitioning from a "mining business" to an "infrastructure business." Future profitability and resilience will depend less on block rewards and more on diversified income sources like energy management and computational infrastructure services. For investors, the key question is not the halving itself, but which miners can successfully navigate this business model transformation.

This is How God Karpathy Uses Claude?

Andrej Karpathy, a prominent figure in AI, has reportedly joined Anthropic, leading to a noticeable decrease in his open-source contributions and social media activity. A document claiming to be his personal "CLAUDE.md" file—a set of instructions for the Claude AI to follow within a specific codebase—has been circulating online. While its authenticity is unverified, the content aligns closely with Karpathy's publicly shared principles on effective AI-assisted programming. The document outlines key rules for AI coding assistants, emphasizing the importance of reading existing code thoroughly before writing new code to maintain consistency. It advises against over-engineering, advocating for simple, surgical modifications that match the project's existing style. Other guidelines include clarifying assumptions upfront, writing meaningful tests, thoughtful debugging, and carefully considering dependencies. The core message is that these principles help prevent common AI coding failures, such as introducing unnecessary abstractions, style drift, or making invisible architectural decisions. The community has noted that even experts like Karpathy require detailed instructions to guide AI effectively, akin to managing a junior developer. A related GitHub repository, "andrej-karpathy-skills," which encapsulates these ideas, is reported to significantly reduce Claude's code error rate. Ultimately, the advice stresses that the best CLAUDE.md is tailored to one's own tech stack and coding practices.

What is CRMON

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance. Nathan Allman, the founder and CEO, emerged from a distinguished financial background before establishing Ondo Finance in 2021. Allman's experience includes notable roles at major financial institutions, including significant contributions to developing cryptocurrency market services. His insights into regulatory compliance were paramount in developing products like CRMON that successfully unify traditional securities with blockchain technology. With a team of professionals boasting substantial experience in both conventional finance and blockchain sectors, Ondo Finance's leadership comprises diverse expertise that covers every aspect of tokenised asset development. Justin Schmidt serves as President and COO, contributing unique operational expertise, while Chris Tyrell brings essential compliance knowledge. Investment Landscape and Funding History The investment landscape surrounding Ondo Finance reflects significant institutional confidence in its mission to tokenise real-world assets. The company has raised substantial funds through various investment rounds, attracting leading venture capital firms and strategic investors that recognise the transformative potential of tokenised securities like CRMON. Notably, Ondo Finance completed a successful Series A funding round in 2022, led by well-known venture capital firms. This funding success validates Ondo Finance's innovative approach to creating compliant, institutional-grade tokenised products. In total, Ondo Finance has successfully secured substantial funding, raising significant capital for product development and market expansion, including a noteworthy token sale that reinforced its governance structure through the establishment of the ONDO token. The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products. Timeline and Historical Development of Tokenized Equity Innovation The timeline of CRMON's development and Ondo Finance's broader tokenised capabilities demonstrates a systematic innovation process beginning with the company's founding in 2021. 2021: Ondo Finance is founded by Nathan Allman and co-founders, launching initial products focused on structured vault offerings on the Ethereum blockchain. 2022: The company completes substantial funding rounds—both equity and token sales—totaling significant capital and launching initial tokenised U.S. Treasury products. 2023-2024: Ondo Finance experiences substantial growth, establishing partnerships with major financial institutions while expanding its product offerings beyond fixed-income securities. February 2025: Ondo Global Markets is announced, marking the transition into equity tokenisation with plans for accessing over one hundred U.S. stocks and ETFs. September 2025: The official launch of Ondo Global Markets includes CRMON alongside other tokenised equity offerings, marking a significant evolution in Ondo Finance's product ecosystem. This timeline highlights the organisation's rapid growth and its capability to adapt its technological and compliance frameworks to accommodate different asset classes effectively while maintaining security and regulatory integrity. Regulatory Framework and Compliance Approach Ondo Finance's regulatory framework showcases a sophisticated compliance strategy, essential for achieving institutional adoption in the tokenised securities market. The company's strong partnerships with U.S.-registered broker-dealers promote adherence to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and apply robust investor protections. Acquisitions, such as Oasis Pro—a registered broker-dealer—significantly enhance Ondo Finance's compliance capabilities, ensuring thorough alignment with existing regulatory structures. The company employs independent verification procedures that foster transparency, aiming for a solid performance standards reputation. Furthermore, Ondo Finance's commitment extends to international regulatory compliance, ensuring token access remains restricted to eligible investors while adhering to pertinent cross-border securities regulations. Comprehensive attention to tax implications and reporting requirements fortifies the security and compliance landscape of CRMON, ensuring that investor obligations remain manageable. Future Prospects and Market Positioning The forward-looking landscape for CRMON and Ondo Finance illustrates substantial growth opportunities driven by institutional adoption of blockchain technology and escalating demand for efficient alternatives to conventional securities ownership. Market projections indicate the tokenised asset sector could value multiple trillion dollars by 2030. With plans to scale CRMON offerings significantly and integrate it with a dedicated blockchain infrastructure—Ondo Chain—Ondo Finance aims to elevate its institutional-grade tokenised asset operations. Additionally, the development of strategic partnerships enhances distribution capabilities while establishing the company's credibility in the financial market. Furthermore, the integration of tokenised equity with decentralised finance protocols offers new potential for innovative financial products and strategies previously impossible with traditional securities. These factors underscore CRMON's positioning to effectively capture increased market share and deliver innovative solutions for international investment exposure. Conclusion Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) symbolises a transformative development within financial markets, successfully bridging traditional equity ownership with blockchain technology to create unprecedented accessibility for global investors. Through Ondo Finance's sophisticated tokenisation framework, CRMON provides complete economic exposure to Salesforce equity performance while enhancing operational advantages that exceed traditional ownership. The launch of CRMON reflects the broader evolution of financial markets towards blockchain infrastructures that maintain regulatory compliance while delivering increased efficiency. Ondo Finance's extensive approach to regulatory adherence, institutional-grade security, and technological innovation solidifies CRMON as a model for future tokenised securities, delivering access previously unattainable in conventional brokerage structures. As the tokenised asset sector continues to develop, CRMON is well-positioned to address historical inefficiencies in capital markets while providing investors with innovative solutions for accessing traditional securities. The outlook for CRMON looks exceptionally promising, supported by ambitious expansion plans, technological innovations, and strategic partnerships, thereby representing a pioneering model of modern financial infrastructure evolving through blockchain integration.
