Fair launch? More like funny launch. Another scam project in the
@monad ecosystem —
@busy_land's
$BUSY presale, which is all backdoor sniping scripts behind the scenes.
On-chain tracing shows that the 60 wallet addresses that successfully participated in this BusyLand subscription (all from the same batch of addresses created 13–15 days ago) did not receive their initial gas fees or funding from散户 exchange withdrawals or independent accounts — instead, they were all distributed from a single root address: 0x0D0707963952f2fBA59dD06f2b425ace40b492Fe.
At block #97008599 (timestamp: 2026/8/18 08:01:00 UTC), these 60+ sub-addresses sent 62 highly uniform calls to the presale contract at almost the exact same millisecond:
Signature & Gas uniform: All called the same custom contract interaction method 0x622f8d54 (with the contract being entirely unverified/source‑closed).
Amounts highly customized per address: Individual contributions were mostly clustered between 40,000 and 73,000 MON (e.g., 0x77b0...4b475b59 sniped 73,147 MON, 0x31a5...6a064548 sniped 69,930 MON, 0xe3b7...1675c3c sniped 64,685 MON, etc.).
Automated script suppression: Real users typically experience 5–15+ seconds of latency when clicking through the frontend, while the sniping scripts bypass the frontend entirely and fill the block gas limit with hardcoded transactions directly at the RPC node layer — squeezing out all genuine retail transactions or causing them to revert due to exhausted allocation.
From this perspective, Benja and KB actually look pretty decent by comparison... I guess you never really know who's worse until you compare.
They hyped it as a 'Fair Launch' to farm community engagement and drive attention. Once the hype built up, they turned around and used scripts to lock almost all the cheap supply into their own sniping wallets. 95% of the low‑cost allocation is in their own hands. The so-called DEX listing was never meant for fair trading — it was just a way to get retail users who missed the presale to buy in at inflated prices on secondary markets, while the team waits to pump and dump.
Is James trapped in a losing position? Maybe they should pump it a bit so James can exit?
