Solana ecosystem raised nearly $150 million worth of SOL in 33 presales, users need to beware of a large number of scams

ChainCatcher news: ZachXBT posted data on social media platform, stating that the Solana ecosystem has recently raised over 796,000 SOL (1.492 billion USD) in 33 project presales.

Many of these presale projects are suspected scams. @Sartoshi0x secretly stole 62% of the SOL from the presale after receiving 7,000 SOL and did not distribute the tokens.

@Jared_eth, who raised 2,100 SOL, is a fake Jared MEV bot account. Another fake Jared account received $440,000 in presale funds in June 2023. @Vombatus_eth rug pulled after raising over 13,000 SOL.

In previous news from ChainCatcher, Solana co-founder Toly (Anatoly Yakovenko) called for an end to such presale issuance project models on X platform.
