I have seen many projects announce the establishment of foundations, but their funding relies entirely on external financing. To be honest, this model has significant issues—funding sources are completely determined externally, and the foundation itself becomes just a facade for fundraising. Rather than being a positive ecological development, it’s more about creating hype for financing. A truly meaningful foundation should have an independent financial structure and a clear plan for usage. If it only operates with external funds, then the foundation’s independence is compromised from the start. Such actions are especially common in bear markets; nominally they are about building the ecosystem, but in reality, they are just fundraising tactics when money is tight. Investors should be cautious when seeing such news.

I've seen this trick too many times; essentially, they treat the foundation as an ATM. Once the funding chain breaks, their true nature is immediately exposed.

It's the same old trick again, the foundation is just a fundraising gimmick, nonsense.

Tsk, it's that old trick again. I've seen through the foundation's packaging tactics many times.

The name of this foundation is really just a cover-up for fundraising. Every time I see it, I want to criticize it, but in reality, it's just because they have no money left.
