At 11 PM, a popular DeFi project launched its public sale, and the situation quickly spiraled out of control.



Retail investors without scripts? Basically just there to make up the numbers. Even more outrageous, some people reportedly started sniping a full second early. Many community members refreshed the page at the designated time only to see the allocation already sold out—there wasn’t even time to manually enter the purchase amount...

And it gets even more absurd: the community channels exploded with chatter, with some questioning whether the 1,000 USDT per-transaction limit even worked at all. Everyone watched as whales swept up the shares, while regular users could only spam question marks in the comments.

Is this kind of public sale design meant to filter for technical players, or just to discourage ordinary users? Both the project team and the platform need to seriously reflect on the fairness of their participation mechanisms.

I got rekt again, didn't even get to use the script—just showed no quota right away. Unbelievable.

Scripts rule, retail investors are at the bottom—this is the real picture of Web3. Once again, it's a game where whales take all, and the quota is just for show, it's hilarious. 1000U limit? Who is that for? Wake up, everyone. This public sale mechanism is just a new way to push retail investors out.

Same old trick, the limit is basically useless, whales have already filled their bags. One second early? I bet there’s no real limit at all, just pure black-box operations. This public sale mechanism basically chooses whoever has a script as the winner, retail investors don’t even get a chance to participate. I can’t take it anymore, as always, products designed by teams with no technical skills are just this lousy. Why not just come out and say the priority goes to whales? No need to pretend.

Same old trick, script players feast while retail investors get the scraps. The 1000U limit is basically useless, big players still sweep everything up. This public sale mechanism is really insulting ordinary people's intelligence. If you don't write scripts, don't bother joining in, I'm telling you. Opening the sale 1 second early? Can you still call this a public sale, my friend?

Same old trick, bots got in early. The limit is basically useless, what a joke. A paradise for scripters, hell for retail investors. Is this what they call fairness? Nonsense. Whales are making a killing, what are we even waiting for? This design by the project team is honestly disgusting. If you don’t have a bot, don’t bother—face reality. Sold out in one second? You call this a public sale? Watching my balance but can’t get in—truly hopeless. The mechanism is pure trash, will I come back next time?

Same old trick: whales pre-position with scripts to snipe, no matter how fast we are, we're just along for the ride. The limit is basically useless—is this a game or are they just trying to screw over retail investors? The public sale has turned into a cash machine for whales; the project's design is truly next level. What selection mechanism? It's obviously just discouraging regular people. A paradise for script users, a hell for retail investors—how can they even call this fair? Gone in 1 second? I didn't even have time to react. So the limit is just for show, whales still sweep everything. The project team really needs to reflect on this.
