• Grant Misuse Reporting Process by Alpha_Omega_Cat - No Role

  Content: Thanks for the comment about me, but why is there no mention of Serafim (CEO), who has misused the grant? Because by just looking at the dashboard, I can say that I got the grant, after that I misused it and then made a report on myself:)

• Via Protocol Grant Misuse by Alpha_Omega_Cat - No Role

  Content: So, basically, to avoid a severe violation of the “no selling rule,” I can use the granted OPs as collateral for trading and only get Minor violations, right? Like: “I am not selling; it is just collateral, and you don’t have any rules about collateral.” But what if I use OP on Sonne and then go to Dydx and go long on YFI? Is it still a Minor Violation, or is it x 2 high-risk strategy that can result in a total loss of granted OPs? Should all projects then deposit their grants into Exactly to boost their TVL? (and most likely lose all OPs because of the risk of a hack)

  • Chain_L: Thanks for the feedback. Every misuse can be interpreted separately while following the broader rules set in the Process. This misuse can qualify as a “severe violation” but digging further into where the OP stands, how the response was and considering that these violations are to be a public repo with little direct consequence my analysis weighed more towards considering it as a “minor violation”. Alpha_Omega_Cat: Like: “I am not selling; it is just collateral, and you don’t have any rules about collateral.” But what if I use OP on Sonne and then go to Dydx and go long on YFI? Is it still a Minor Violation, or is it x2 high-risk strategy that can result in a total loss of granted OPs? Should all projects then deposit their grants into Exactly to boost their TVL? (and most likely lose all OPs because of the risk of a hack) The scenario described might require a detailed analysis based on various factors, I would refrain from bundling them into “minor violations”. This is the first report in the new process so I’ll let it be interpreted with a different lens until we have real objective ways to classify. I believe with a 2/3 majority it will most likely end up in “severe violation” but would like you to allow liberty of individual assessment. P.S.- If the interpretation needs to be hard lines among all the types of violation, I’ll make the necessary changes @vonnie610

  Content: Why don’t you guys make grant misuse as a tender? All lawyers in the US and worldwide will be happy to find those persons if you provide them with closed info about projects and the people behind them(from KYC). You can build up it like an actual tender with bids for this job where all people will post their % to get a case from you. So, basically, you can incentivize people to file the Report, like @jackanorak mentioned above, and you can attract actual lawyers to those cases.

  Content: Half of the first one and the last one, right? I do not fully agree with you since this can help reviewers understand the situation, but okay, I will delete those parts.

  Content: Twitter account is not a domain service. OP use. The portion of the generated yield has not left the wallet on which the yield was generated. The generated yield was earned at the risk of losing 95 k OP. There have been 0 announcements on Twitter since November, and a Discord server is full of “Rug” messages. Discord - Via Protocol If the grant was in use, why were there no announcements or updates on eligibility for users to claim a gas refund? So why did Via hold it if it was useless for its users? Does this make the project’s selling price higher because of the grant? This is unrelated to OP, but it helps understand the whole situation. If Ally is a failed project, why are raised funds still on related to serafim.eth wallet and not sent back to users/available to claim a refund? After all the rugs and closures, serafim.eth TG channel closed all comments and limited all reactions + made some edits to his old posts because of the hate. Unfortunately, as it was mentioned, “doing anything with OP from a Grant that was not EXPLICITLY outlined in the original Grant is a misuse of the Grant.”

  Content: There is nothing personal. Facts: The project will be sold to another party after one grant misuse without any allowance from the OP team. Additionally, Via scammed people with an Ally wallet for a couple of tens of thousands. Here are two posts where we can see how Via tried to convince people to mint NFT. twitter.com Via Protocol ✌️ 4 @via_protocol Our dream of building the ultimate bridge and DEX aggregator is soon becoming a reality at our wallet @AllyHQ twitter.com/AllyHQ/status/… 5 : 14 AM - 4 Oct 2023 22 9 twitter.com Via Protocol ✌️ 1 @via_protocol Announcing our new product, @AllyHQ and Retrorrop for Via’s users! ? Ally is where zero-fee trading meets passive earnings! Check it out ⬇️ twitter.com/AllyHQ/status/… 1 : 53 PM - 20 Sep 2023 41 22 But after the mint, they deleted the profile and moved assets to the same wallet that you can see as an Unknown wallet - DeBank | The Web 3 Messenger & Best Web 3 Portfolio Tracker 3 Here is their website - https://myally.xyz/ 3 image 2234 × 1228 154 KB Yup, about my post on my channel. I made it to save VCs money on a project with such a story. image 1804 × 714 88 . 1 KB In this screenshot, you can also see his comment about me as a person and his state that this was coordinated with OP. “Эти транзы согласованы и лежат на соседнем кошельке.” - which can be translated - “These transactions are reported and approved (by who?) and are on a different wallet (original wallet).” “ПС. Новые овнеры виа тоже согласованы с гаверненсом и теми людьми с кем ты типо общался.” It can also be translated as “PS. The new Via’s owners are also accepted by the Governance and the people you’ve been talking to” (Vonnie, Palash and Katie, where Katie told me that this is a case for the Foundation) This story could not be added to the report because it is about a different project. But it is connected to the serafim.eth wallet, so it is best to add it in the comments. Here is his wallet on zksync with the major part of earnings from the scam NFT sale - zkSync Era Block Explorer 7
