SOME SCAM PROJECTS SITTING IN SOMNIA'S ECOSYSTEM I would run out of space if I tried to list every questionable project that has appeared under the official @SomniaEco. Some of the cases I flagged earlier on Discord have already been removed. A few dying projects, however, are still extracting whatever remains of the Somnia community. Two recent cases: @insomnusxyz Launched a new NFT collection on Robinhood yesterday as their final extraction: - Engaged with $1000 GA event and only raffled for their alt accounts to win. - Hide the Opensea link, saying that it will only open trading in the public round. - Faked the mint process: displaying false number (8100/9000) to create trust and FOMO but in reality the OS only showed 404 - including about 300 for the team and a few other sub-wallets have the right to mint in bulk. - Sent funds to Binance. Silence and no explanation. @quillsadventure - Bad faith on royalties: after stopping the project, its dev said there would be no 5% royalty. After a period of that promise, fees were quietly turned back on and the funds was moved to Robinhood to farm memes. - The Discord link on the Quills site redirected to a fake Quills server, where a “holder verify” bot exposed users to malware. After this was reported, their response was not a fix but took the web down entirely as if nothing happened. Additionally, Somnia still feature a dead projects just to pad out the list. - @bsktballdotfun: launched a presale but shipped nothing. Some people reportedly received refunds, while others didn't. They took down their website domain. @HermanNarula said he would sue if they turned out to be a scam. I wonder if he has actually filed suit yet? - @DarkTableCCG , @playvariance , @pixcapegames,... : extracted community from NFT minting but finally still shipped nothing, dead game, dead X, dead website. - @qrusaderrise: still shipped nothing but their X deleted all posts and changed PFP to a puppy!? And so on. The list is long. The latest AMA with @0xPaulThomas and @lippylipka already acknowledged problems among ecosystem dapps, and that the team cannot police everything. @Somnia_Network should be stricter about clearing dead projects from the earlier phase, to reduce room for further extraction and to keep only infrastructure that is live, credible, and already proven in practice. Otherwise, Somnia should treat the ecosystem as a genuinely open, decentralized chain: good projects will be adopted; weak ones will fall away on their own. Over the past few months I have played across hundreds of Robinhood launches, and I have never once cared whether a dapp had a badge proving it belonged to RH ecosystem or not. P/S: If anyone wants to dispute or needs proof, feel free to ask.

SOMNIA S5: FROM +EV TO -63% Ok, @Somnia_Network S5 airdrop registration is open and everyone can check their allocation. I’ll keep it short: Very disappointed. @0xPaulThomas, you didn’t keep your promise to guarantee +EV for the users who trusted you and completed your quests. I’ll only talk about the Founder Pack minting quest, because the other capital-heavy quests will have much bigger variances. - We spent 75 $SOMI to get 600 points. With the 300% boost from gSomnia, that’s 75 SOMI for 2,400 points. - The community-recorded points-to-SOMI ratio is around 55. So 2,400 ÷ 55 ~ 43 SOMI. Yes, we put in 75 SOMI and got back 43 SOMI. - In SOMI terms, that’s a -42% loss. - In USDC terms, when SOMI was ~$0.3 at the time and is now ~$0.19, it’s a -63% loss on capital. And it’s vested for 8 weeks. “But those points don’t include the NFT boost, right?” Oh please, don’t even mention the NFTs or I’ll turn this post into a full article. A lot of people who trusted you deeply even bought NFTs back when SOMI was $1–1.5. No need to say much more: we're in double loss. Top investors like @1_gariphamsi , @dreweth , @DuraLabs, @LeoXBT67 already said their words. Who came out the biggest winner? There are two groups: - Who exploited the loophole to mint for free and sell Odyssey keys. - Who sold all their NFTs before the snapshot. They made way more profit and didn’t even get vested. Unless the team has some big plan behind this (like making SOMI to a new ATH again), it’s impossible for the community to continue this story here. There’s no guarantee that our time and money contributions will be properly rewarded in the next season. Peace.
