Space Chain (SPC) is a typical fraudulent scam project exposed during the 2018 ICO craze, harvesting a large number of investors with the gimmick of 'Aerospace + Blockchain'.
The project falsely promoted itself, claiming to have established deep cooperation with multiple aerospace agencies, applying blockchain technology to cutting-edge fields such as satellite communication and space data storage. It also packaged a 'luxury team' with dual backgrounds in aerospace and blockchain to elevate the project's value and attract investors to participate in the ICO fundraising.
However, in reality, Space Chain has no real aerospace cooperation resources and has not undertaken any substantial technological research and development work. The so-called technical white paper is empty, logically chaotic, and contains numerous core technology descriptions that are suspected of plagiarism. After raising a huge amount of funds through the ICO, the project team did not advance the project as promised, but instead quickly transferred assets, and core members gradually went missing, with the project’s official website and community also ceasing updates.
As the scam was exposed, the price of the Space Chain token SPC plummeted by more than 99%, nearly to zero, leaving investors with significant losses. Subsequently, regulatory authorities initiated an investigation into the project, determining that its ICO activities constituted illegal fundraising and imposed administrative penalties on the responsible individuals. This case also became one of the hallmark events in the rectification of the ICO chaos at that time, highlighting the typical tactics of packaging and hype for fraudulent projects during the ICO phase.
