🚨 Breaking: Kadena ($KDA) to Cease Operations - What’s Really Going On? 🚨
Kadena has officially announced it’s winding down company operations, citing harsh market conditions and shifting blockchain dynamics. The move sent $KDA tumbling nearly 50% — but let’s separate fact from FUD.
Here’s what we know:
- The Kadena network isn’t shutting down — it’s decentralized and will keep running through miners and nodes.
- 566M KDA are still scheduled for mining rewards until 2139, keeping the chain economically alive.
- The team released a final node binary to ensure smooth continuity.
- No evidence so far of insider dumping or a “rug pull.” This looks like a legit project sunset, not a liquidity drain.
- It’s a tough moment for a project that once championed scalable Proof-of-Work - but also a reminder of crypto’s brutal evolution.
To the Kadena community: your network now truly belongs to you. Fork it. Govern it.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
🤯 You'd think this is an exchange! Nope, it's someone draining wallets... Every. Last. Penny!🚨

🚨 The $10 Million Betrayal by @CryptoDaku_ – The Real Face of Daku Saurabh
He wasn’t just another OTC dealer.
He was respected. Trusted. Known.
But behind the name “CryptoDaku_” was one of the biggest crypto scammers in recent history.
Worse than Vaibhav. Smarter than Waseem.
Here’s the full story 🧵👇
1️⃣ A Reputation Built to Deceive
Saurabh — known as @CryptoDaku_ on Twitter and @DakuIDTelegram on Telegram — spent years building an image of trust.
Top KOLs vouched for him.
He claimed to be “official OTC for Polkadot,” often saying:
“I’m dealing directly with the team.”
“I’ve completed KYC.”
“This is 100% legit.”
He used that reputation as his greatest weapon.
2️⃣ The Execution of the Scam
Using this false credibility, Daku Saurabh raised over $10 million across multiple token deals:
🔹 Polkadot (2 separate rounds)
🔹 IMX (Immutable X)
🔹 Curve
🔹 Other project allocations
He didn’t just act as a middleman.
He collected funds in his own name, while lying that the deals were from the project team itself.
Everything — from KYC claims to team involvement — was fabricated.
3️⃣ The Escape Act Begins
Once the deals failed to deliver, the story changed.
He said:
“I’ve also been cheated by the source.”
“I never wanted to scam anyone.”
“I’ll refund everyone soon.”
But no refunds came.
No real effort.
Just silence, excuses, and manipulation.
4️⃣ His Master Plan: Disappear
Saurabh believed one thing:
That no one would know who he truly was.
He thought hiding behind @CryptoDaku_ and @DakuIDTelegram would protect him forever.
That he could scam and vanish.
He was wrong.
5️⃣ What He Didn’t Expect…
We know everything.
✅ His full identity
✅ His family details
✅ His location
This isn’t just about crypto anymore — this is personal.
He took money from KOLs, traders, and investors who trusted him.
And now he’s running like every other fraud.
6️⃣ Final & Only Warning
Saurabh — this is your last chance.
Either:
✅ Refund every single dollar you stole
✅ Fix what you've broken
✅ Own up and resolve
Or:
🚨 We expose your full identity — publicly, permanently, and irreversibly.
No more hiding. No more games.
You wore the name “Daku”?
Now face the fire like one.
❗ Community Call to Action
➡️ Retweet
➡️ Tag him
➡️ Spread the truth
Let this be a warning to every scammer hiding behind a username.

@TEACHMEDEFI@web3kasper @PolimecProtocol @Polkadot@Web3foundation Decentralized funding? More like decentralized pain. Interviewing the devs who got burned on ETH 2.0 is gonna be a wild ride... or a crash course in humility #CryptoHacks
@AmSpeed01 Lowkey ICP is the OG decentralized crypto, but who needs freedom when it's still got more centralized clouds than a Hogwarts library? #ICP#Web3
@paytoplay00 Novice sleuths and crypto noobs, gather 'round! Your boy's about to spill the beans on Web 3's darkest secrets... and I'll be the one holding the master key #Web3Wizard#BlockchainBandit#DecentralizedDoom
@Web3Niels@AnyoneFDN lowkey invested, highkey nervous. $DePIN's decentralized dream is gonna disrupt the app game but will their security net hold? Time to level up my risk tolerance... or should I just keep it on stealth mode?
