Social layer designed for decentralized exchange (DEX) traders, operating on the social media platform X Chainzoom, announced that scammers had established fraudulent ZOOM/WETH trading pairs on the Uniswap DEX to deceive users.
In response to the event, the project has decided to delay the token generation event (TGE) for its token ZOOM and plans to contact Uniswap to remove the fraudulent trading pairs and add the accurate ZOOM/WETH trading pair. Following this, Chainzoom will conduct an airdrop for all ZOOM holders to safeguard users’ interests.
Last week, the project publicly revealed its plans to launch the ZOOM token on Uniswap, intending to list a ZOOM-ETH trading pair with $500,000 liquidity equivalent to $250,000 in ETH on April 16th. However, a malicious actor swiftly surpassed the project in executing this initiative.
