Binance vezérigazgató: A kriptovaluta csalások, a Squid Game Token és egyéb Defi-kockázatok elkerülése

The following article was written by CZ, Binance CEO & Co-Founder.

DYOR, or do your own research, is a concept I think every investor should know about. It’s as close to a golden rule as anything in the world of crypto, but it applies more even broadly to anything you’re planning to invest in, from Bitcoin and bonds to stablecoins and stocks.

Earlier this week, the anonymous developers behind a DeFi project named Squid Game token abruptly performed a “rug pull”, a common scam where the team behind a crypto project takes off with users’ funds. Because these scams are becoming more commonplace as the DeFi space grows, I’d like to take this opportunity to remind users that DeFi is not without its risks, and we hate to see anyone lose their funds due to scams and other cybercrimes.

Squid Game Tokens: What Happened and Why?

Last week, a cryptocurrency called SQUID began trading on PancakeSwap, a decentralized exchange. It quickly gained traction among users, many of whom thought there was an association between the project and the recent Netflix hit series, “Squid Game”.

A projekt nem nélkülözte a vörös zászlókat, amelyeket a figyelmes felhasználók gyorsan észrevettek. Azok a felhasználók, akik megvásárolták a tokent, arról számoltak be, hogy nem tudták eladni, és a Netflix-sorozathoz fűződő hivatalos szövetségeket gyorsan megcáfolták.

A figyelmeztető jelek ellenére a spekulánsok folytatták a token megvásárlását, exponenciálisan felfelé tolva az árakat, mielőtt a projekt alapítói percek alatt kimerítették a likviditási készletet, és közben a befektetők pénzét felemelték.

Why Can’t These Projects Be Banned or Delisted?

Some may ask, why can’t Binance do something about DeFi projects like SQUID? I think it’s important here to explain that blockchains like Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Ethereum are open-source. We don’t have any control or influence over projects that are built on the network. Because BSC is entirely community-driven, governance-related decisions would need to be coordinated by the community. The same is true for any other open-source blockchain, like Ethereum for example.

However, our security team proactively launched an investigation as a way to show our support for the wider crypto community. I can confirm we are taking the following actions:

• A fejlesztőkkel kapcsolatban álló cím azonosítása és feketelistára helyezése
• Blokklánc-analitika telepítése a rossz szereplők azonosítására
• Eredményeink eljuttatása a megfelelő joghatóság(ok) bűnüldöző szerveihez

Nagyon világossá kell tennem, hogy az ilyen esetekben keveset tehetünk a pénzeszközök visszaszerzéséért vagy a beavatkozásért. A Binance ismét nem kapcsolódik a BSC-re épülő projektekhez, és nem is felügyelete vagy ellenőrzése alatt áll.

On Doing Diligence to Avoid DeFi Exit Scams

The truth is, SQUID won’t be the first or last DeFi scam. Over the past year, more first time investors have entered the markets than at any point that I can remember. And it’s not just DeFi or crypto. On Twitter, stock tickers regularly become trending topics.

We’re entering a period of peak speculation—people are looking for the next get rich quick scheme or 100X opportunity. The truth is, those 100X don’t come along often. And when they do, they usually come with a ton of risk, sometimes so much so that the lines get blurred between investing and gambling. At Binance, we dedicate significant time and resources to creating free educational materials to help our users better understand and navigate the world of crypto. That’s why you should always DYOR. For more reading on DeFi risks, our Academy team has put together a pretty thorough guide on how to spot common DeFi scams.

Why I Recommend Beginners Start With Centralized Finance, or CeFi

If you’re new to crypto, I recommend you start by choosing a centralized exchange like Binance. CeFi platforms still come with risks, but they often have a lot more user protection mechanisms in place. Due to the centralized nature of these platforms, there are more opportunities for remediation, if something goes wrong. Larger, reputable platforms like Binance are designed to be accessible and easy to use. They act as a great gateway to the world of crypto.

A haladóbb felhasználók számára a DeFi valóban lenyűgöző előnyöket kínál. Korábban már elmondtam, hogy személy szerint úgy gondolom, hogy ennek az iparágnak a jövője a decentralizáció. A DeFi segítségével bárki hozzáférhet a kriptográfiai termékekhez és szolgáltatásokhoz közvetítő igénybevétele nélkül.

Why wait for a centralized exchange to list a token you’ve had your eye on, when you can head over to a decentralized exchange to buy it now, without any exchange fees? DeFi removes the middleman, allowing you to make direct transactions with counterparties. However, DeFi can be complicated. You have to manage your own keys—lose them and your funds are gone forever. There’s potentially no vetting process or guardrails to keep you from interacting with suspicious projects. The smart contracts that facilitate your transactions may have vulnerabilities that you don’t know about.

To me, the benefits of DeFi far outweigh the drawbacks, but you need to arm yourself with crypto knowledge first. If you have information related to an ongoing scam, feel free to drop our team a line at investigations@binance.com
