Tradoor Scandal (TRADOOR): Anatomy of a Rug Pull in the TON Ecosystem 📉🚨
Events occurring from September peaking in early December 2025 (and continuing until early 2026 investigations) highlight the dangers of projects with overly centralized supply control.
1. Absurd Supply Control (70% - 98%)
Investigations reveal that Tradoor's tokenomics transparency is just a mirage.
On-Chain Facts: Analysts found that the team secretly controls over 70.12% of the supply (with some reports claiming up to 98% across 10 main addresses).
Fake Distribution: These tokens are spread across more than 10 different wallets to create the illusion of distribution to investors, while all are controlled by a single entity (the team).
2. Wash Trading Manipulation & Liquidity
Between September 19–21, 2025, shortly after launch, the team aggressively engaged in wash trading.
Fake Volume: The team buys and sells tokens among their own wallets to create false trading volume, enticing retail investors to think the project is highly liquid.
Pump & Dump: After the price is lifted by fake volume, the team conducts a massive dump, causing the token to crash by up to 90% in just minutes, liquidating thousands of user positions.
3. Team Disappearance & Unpaid Employee Salaries
The real warning signals appeared before the price crash:
Unpaid Salaries: Reports indicate the core team failed to pay employee salaries for over 4 months before disappearing (lost contact).
Static Code: No code updates on GitHub for the past 6 months, indicating that this project is just a "token shell" with no real product development.
Valuable Lessons for Investors
The TRADOOR tragedy reminds us to always:
Check Top Holder Addresses: If a handful of addresses control >50% of the supply, the risk of manipulation is very high.
Beware of Unusual Volume: Large volumes without organic user growth are often a sign of wash trading.
Team Transparency Audit: Projects with anonymous teams lacking an active development track record (dead GitHub) are a huge red flag.
