A statement regarding 3place.lol, solana:7K4jGRV7PY1EymiY3jx75JSfi1jjzG7Gh5XHqF2Upump, and @fifteenai. For the past two weeks, Fifteen has dedicated nearly all of his time and energy to developing 3place.lol specifically for the solana:7K4jGRV7PY1EymiY3jx75JSfi1jjzG7Gh5XHqF2Upump crypto community. This meant shifting his attention away from 3place.world, where we already had numerous features and updates planned to improve the experience and keep our existing players engaged. We made that sacrifice because we genuinely believed we could build something meaningful for a community that had supported the project for months. And yet, before we even had the opportunity to properly introduce what we were building, everything began falling apart. First, we want to make something absolutely clear: Fifteen did not create or launch the solana:7K4jGRV7PY1EymiY3jx75JSfi1jjzG7Gh5XHqF2Upump token. The token was created independently of him. His involvement came afterward, following weeks of requests and pressure from the community. Many people initially told him, "Just keep developing 3place. You don't need to involve yourself with crypto." He could have walked away from the token entirely and focused on his original platform. But he stayed. Over the following months, he listened to the community and responded to its requests. He made announcements, conducted more than $28,700 in token buybacks, locked his tokens, and continued supporting a project he never originally intended to be part of. His original statement can be found here: xitter.cf/fifteenai/status/20836… And eventually, despite everything, he went a step further. He built an entirely separate platform for the crypto community. That platform was 3place.lol. This wasn't meant to be a temporary website with a token attached to it. We had much bigger plans. The decision to build 3place.lol on Mars was intentional. 3place.world already has Earth and the Moon, so Mars was meant to be the next addition to that universe, giving the crypto community a planet of its own. The long-term vision was to eventually connect both platforms, integrating Mars into the existing 3place.world ecosystem. We had plans for solana:7K4jGRV7PY1EymiY3jx75JSfi1jjzG7Gh5XHqF2Upump rewards, new gameplay mechanics, progression systems, community features, integrations, listings, and a publicly available roadmap outlining how everything would come together. These weren't ideas we came up with in response to the backlash. They were part of the direction we had been working toward. So why didn't we release everything at once? Because our goal was never to create a momentary wave of excitement, attract speculative buyers, and disappear. We wanted to build an actual product with a lasting community behind it. Instead, we decided to release an early version of the game to a small group of dedicated solana:7K4jGRV7PY1EymiY3jx75JSfi1jjzG7Gh5XHqF2Upump holders who had been supporting the project for months. These were the people we believed would appreciate getting the first look, provide feedback, and help us shape the experience before a broader public announcement. The game was still in its early stages. More features, announcements, and integrations were intended to follow. In hindsight, we recognize that we could have communicated the early-access nature of the release and our plans more clearly. But within less than an hour, the reaction had already spiraled. Before we could properly share our roadmap, explain the vision, or demonstrate what was coming next, people had already begun drawing conclusions about the project and Fifteen's intentions. Within a day of granting early access, what should have been an exciting milestone was overshadowed by harassment, death threats, threats of doxxing, and threats of legal action. We understand that people may be disappointed, frustrated, or concerned about the value of their holdings. Everyone has the right to question decisions, criticize a project, or walk away from something they no longer believe in. But there is a fundamental difference between holding someone accountable and threatening their personal safety. No developer deserves death threats or threats against their privacy for trying to build something. Fifteen did not create this token. He did not set out to use it as a vehicle for personal profit. His intention was to turn something that had been pushed onto him into something people could actually use and enjoy. And it is disheartening to see that work dismissed before the community has even seen the full vision. We also want to remind everyone that cryptocurrency is inherently speculative. No token, including solana:7K4jGRV7PY1EymiY3jx75JSfi1jjzG7Gh5XHqF2Upump, represents a guaranteed investment or a promise of financial returns. Market losses and price volatility alone do not establish fraud or malicious intent. Genuine concerns should be addressed through facts, transparency, and appropriate channels rather than harassment or intimidation. We never expected everyone to believe in this project or agree with every decision we made. All we wanted was the opportunity to build something worthwhile and let our work speak for itself. It's difficult to build something for a community when the very people you're trying to build it for turn against you before you've had the chance to finish. For months, people asked Fifteen to do more. He listened. He stayed. He continued putting his own time and resources into creating something bigger than a cryptocurrency. Not because he was obligated to, but because he genuinely believed in what we could build. And now, after everything, it feels as though we've ended up moving backward instead of forward. We aren't asking for blind trust, and we recognize that trust must be earned through actions, transparency, and delivery. But we do ask that people remember there are real human beings behind these projects, putting in real work, making real sacrifices, and trying to bring their ideas to life. 3place.lol was built with the intention of giving this community something real. Not just another token to trade, but something to participate in, contribute to, and grow together. Whatever happens next, that was always the vision. And, unfortunately, so many people were ready to abandon it before it had a chance to become what we envisioned.
