@SterrenToSpace @swarmnode@MigrateFun My guess is that creator rewards only applies to new launches and not already existing accounts that was already established before it existed. 🤷🏾♀️

⚠️💀 ZKRUNE EXPOSED 💀⚠️
by @me8_x1782 - 24.11.2025
---------------------------------------------------------
The One-Sentence Version
zkRune looks like the privacy app we’ve all been waiting for - beautiful, offline, no-code ZK proofs - but 6 out of 8 circuits are literally fake, the tutorial throws confetti when you “prove” nothing.
----------------------------------------------------------
What It Feels Like vs. What It Actually Is
---------------------------------------------------------
The Proof – Literally Copy-Paste from the Code
These lines are still in the repo today (unchanged since Nov 23):
Imagine a bouncer who stamps everyone “21+” without looking at the ID.
That’s 75 % of zkRune.
Only two circuits actually do real math:
- credential-proof (real hash + expiry)
- token-swap (real balance + slippage protection)
----------------------------------------------------------
This Is NOT an Accident, NOT a “Bug”, and Will NOT Be Fixed
100 % bulletproof evidence that this is deliberate fraud:
If this was a mistake, the dev would have fixed it in 5 minutes and tweeted “hotfix deployed”.
Instead: silence + more “10/10 real” tweets.

----------------------------------------------------------
Why This One Is So Hard to Spot
1. The two real circuits work perfectly - if you only test those, you walk away thinking the whole thing is legit.
2. The tutorial forces you to try the fake age-proof first, then explodes confetti.
Instant dopamine = instant trust.
3. The offline PWA guide makes you cache the fake circuits and think “wow, it works on a plane!”
4. The design is gorgeous - no cheap emojis, smooth animations, perfect mobile flow.
It feels like a $5 M startup.
It’s not a lazy scam.
It’s a love letter written by a liar.
---------------------------------------------------------
The Dev Put in Real Work - That’s What Makes It Scary
One person spent roughly 200–250 hours on this - a full month of full-time grinding.
The ZK parts that are real are genuinely clever.
The UI is buttery smooth.
The PWA setup is flawless.
But 75 % of that effort went into building the perfect lie.
----------------------------------------------------------
The Money Math (Why Someone Does This)
That’s $5 k–$20 k per hour of work.
And after the rug?
Strip the fake circuits, keep the pretty code, and you’re suddenly “the guy who built a full offline ZK app in the browser.”
Plenty of ruggers later got hired at big Layer-2s and VCs.
----------------------------------------------------------
What You Should Actually Do
1. Don’t install zkRune.
2. Don’t buy $ZKRUNE
3. Share this post - friends will thank you
4. If you’re a builder: fork the repo (MIT license), keep the two real circuits and the beautiful UI, delete the six fakes, ship the honest version.
The world actually needs it.
----------------------------------------------------------
Final Thought
This isn’t a dumb sc.......
It’s a heartbreaking one - because the dev is clearly talented enough to build the real thing.
Talent wasted on lies.
Let’s take the good 25 %, fix the rest, and turn this lie into something actually useful.
Stay safe out there ❤️

@bondobull @PPUTech No update since the 13th and looks like someone may have created the coin without his knowlede. Was looks like he was supposed to release a statement regarding it rugging but never did. 🤷🏾♀️
@Oliv21703 Thank you! A lot of these coins I didn’t even know about until i stumbled on your page. I’m in Lumen already found that one at 850k. Wish i could buy all my favorites but i aint rolling like that lol
