Tradoor Scandal (TRADOOR): Anatomy of a Rug Pull in the TON Ecosystem ๐๐จ
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 19โ21, 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.
