You ever notice how the most impressive projects sometimes have the shadiest teams behind them? It's wild—flashy roadmaps, huge TVL, all the hype in the world, yet the devs are running things with less transparency than a back-alley deal. The strongest teams on paper don't always equal the strongest intentions. That's the catch nobody wants to talk about in this space.

Honestly, we've all been fooled by this "paper strong team" routine, don't pretend.

Haha, I understand this very well. Back in the day, I saw through the YGG approach clearly. No matter how impressive the team looks on paper, it's all meaningless. You have to dig into on-chain data to uncover the truth.

Really, over the past few years, I've seen too many "paper heroes." Promising hundreds of billions in TVL right from the start, but the operations are like underground money laundering...
