3 Buy 'ADIDAS, GEAR' online first, but it's really a leprechaun plate to buy.

Yesterday, two tokens started circulating in communities: “Adidas Into The Metaverse” with the code ADIDAS and Gearbox with the code GEAR. . They all fall under the keywords. The community discovered that addresses listed as three companies have started buying the two brands that make up FOMO.

Did our Fund buy these two tokens? Take ADIDAS as an example. According to Etherscan data, the top five token sites are Binance, FTX, and Three Arrows Capital, all of which are well-known organizations, and these companies also attract investors.

Sending tokens to well-known schools to prove them has long been a scam. It is now difficult to fool most investors by relying on data sources. However, when Adidas inquired about the market flow to 3 Arrow Capital, it was acknowledged that this was an exchange and that the token trader was not directly referring to the 3 Arrow Capital wallet. .

Looking at the chain's records, it was revealed that Adidas was owned by 3 Arrow Capital and another key holder was piloted by Uniswap.

However, this exchange is still very different from other Uniswap purchases. The "By" field is the address where the change occurred. In normal business, the details here should be the buyer's address.

Check the "By" field in this exchange and you will know that this is a contract slot that begins with "0x392", which is not the same as the San Arrow Capital address "0x486" who received ADIDAS.

If we look at the addresses of "Binance 14" and "FTX" one by one, we can see that they all look like this. Neither Binance, FTX nor Our First Investment have regularly bought tokens.

Some manufacturers have speculated on the possibility of fraud. The token issuer uses a method to invoke the Uniswap contract, initiate the purchase at its own address, pay the ETH required for the purchase, but provide a different location accordingly to the recipient of the purchase. Token, masking based on a known address to buy tokens.

Same goes for GEAR, some people in the community noticed that our company bought most of the GEAR tokens a few hours ago. The contract address of the GEAR token is not the same as the contract contract address declared by Gearbox, and the token is a counterfeit GEAR token or a "false result". Examination of the chain's data confirms that the GEAR token was not normally purchased by Three Arrow Capital, but also received in the same manner.

Both ADIDAS and GEAR counterfeits are "Pixiu Pan", that is, pre-defined tokens from contract distributors that cannot be sold by the reseller. Since you can only buy and not sell, the price of the token type just goes up and down, and the growing data looks very appealing.

How to identify a courageous plaque? A glance at the token contract provides the most precise and direct results. However, due to level constraints, the average trader cannot differentiate themselves quickly using this method.

Analyzing the history of the industry is one more way to achieve the "Pixiu Pan". If you are using a tool to query DEX transactions such as DEXTools, and once it confirms that all tokens have been purchased and there is no sale, the history of queries on brands can be counted that the token is high "Pixiu Pan". the result.

At the time of this publication, ADIDAS had $ 2.5 million in liquidation at Uniswap. The 24 hour trading volume is $ 1.05 million. Counterfeit GEAR has Uniswap liquidity of US $ 960,000 and a 24-hour transaction volume of US $ 590,000.
