high-risk payment token with 50% dev allocation
Analysis
The project presents an AI-powered Web3 shopping extension allowing cryptocurrency payments at online stores. The main concerns include unclear necessity of the $BUY token (vs stablecoins), creator holding 50% of supply (centralization risk), and no disclosed vesting/lockup mechanisms for their 500M tokens. No team/legal entity info, anonymous creator profile, and vague technical implementation details weaken credibility. While cross-chain crypto payments are valuable, the tokenomics design and lack of transparency suggest high rug-pull risk rather than genuine utility.
