SUI conducted a TestNet program which lasted for almost a year and eventually they refused to airdrop their community who spend time and efforts to ensure the success of their project. instead of airdropping their communities they lured some few members of their community to participate in their presales. so, what is your opinion on this.? Is SUI a SCAM project or LEGIT?

Don't trust any altcoin projects, it is better to have the mindset that you may not get paid for your efforts if you participate in an airdrop let's say among 100 projects that have airdrop only 20 will distribute the rewards to bounty hunters and remaining 80 will be a scam project who will nether get listed on an exchange or distribute tokens to either investor or bounty hunters.


So altcoin is practically a gamble and at that, we must know how to take the risk when it comes to altcoins, I personally will not advise anyone to waste their time on any of such campaigns even if the task is very simple to accomplish.

Don't expect anything on a platform to have a airdrop if they didn't give anything on that timespan then move on, its either they are not really paying or they don't ready yet to distribute the allocated budget intended for airdrop. Just try your luck on other testnet but also make sure you didn't spend any amount on any airdrop potential project to getting scam by those people who run a fake project in this space.

Just try more free airdrops to get more higher chance to spot a good project among those newly or old platform running.

So does this means that this project won't recognize the efforts of those that did the testnet? It's because I've been seeing people that have been too hyped on this project and they're boasting that this could be the next ARB. Needless to say, don't be too trusting with these projects especially the new ones because you'll never know if the developers of it will go South and will change the terms and development of these projects that you're too optimistic with.

It is important for investors and users to conduct their own research and due diligence before investing in any cryptocurrency or blockchain project. This includes examining the team behind the project, the technology being used, and the project's whitepaper and roadmap. Additionally, it may be helpful to look for reviews and opinions from trusted sources in the cryptocurrency community to gain a better understanding of the project's reputation and potential.

Is this the project you are talking about - sui.io?

According to this article (https://boxmining.com/sui-token-airdrop-guide/), they said that the airdrop is going to be in Q4, 2023 or am I missing something?

Hard to tell a scam project until it happen. If they are able to attract good community then I think its better for them to focus on making it a good project. Airdrop is not necessary and there’s no assurance for this, since the hype of airdrop is coming back, many expect that every project will have this, again it will still depend on the project developer, though rewarding the community can still happen in other way.

Airdrop is not mandatory so better not to expect that much, and just participate without expecting anything in return since you are only spending money for the fees and not for the project itself. Always do your own research, you can know if the project is a scam by doing this, though having no plan for the airdrop doesn’t necessary mean the project is a scam, you still need to look for other red flags about the project.

Still you ask reputation from SUI coins? check last update about this project have official confirming will pre sale on three bigger exchange from Kucoin, OKX and Bybit. But for testnet is not recommended from the SUI developer and if you have been participants in testnet seems not get chance for SUI coins mainnet. Its seems different with other coins not launching with airdrop reward and list as pre sale on third exchange above. Not all new project expected will launching airdrop although how many people excited for joining this airdrop by claiming faucet and testnet coin, but its reality when early preparing for getting SUI testnet they not launching yet with testnet or airdrop project.

You can buy pre sale on Bybit, Kucoin and OKX before 24 April.

they are most certainly legit, there are many fuds circulating around attacking sui but honestly that's just because the team decided not to do airdrops considering it was heavily infested with many cheaters.
now they are instead trying to make a token sale through various exchange that's already famous. so their legitimacy isn't even a question.
they've actually also raised hundred millions of funds through initial funding by the many venture capital in which actually still kind of baffle me why they are still seeking for additional funding. but honestly, if they don't even held an airdrop, they are not at fault mainly because well they never actually announced an airdrop, so they have no obligation to do so.

The article you are referring to is not official. These are just the author's dreams that SUI can release airdrop. If we turn to the official information, we see that SUI never planned or promised airdrop. This was once again stated by the co-founder and product director of Mysten Labs, which is the developer of SUI: "Stop spreading nonsense. There is NO Sui Airdrop. Not planned or ever will be." - https://twitter.com/EmanAbio/status/1645183702224506881

Well Well Well, I just checked my twitter and guess what? #suiScam is trending

Is it FUD or the actually duped some testers?

You be the judge, check out the different threads on Twitter about people complaining how they were promised air.

You are wrong, they had a lot of notice before that they did not plan to distribute the rewards to the testers. But because people always hypothesize that they are just trying to lie to get rid of cheaters, and people still work hard and expect. Many people are disappointed with this result, but the testnet means that you participate voluntarily, no one is forcing you, nor is anyone promising to pay you a reward. I bet you're angry that they don't plan to distribute the airdrop, but it's clearly your fault for expecting too much.

SUI is a very large project that is expected to bring huge profits for us. I find it quite funny how so many people who haven't done any research and don't know what's going on are slandering it.

Although unlike Aptos and Arb, Sui still provides an opportunity for early adopters to invest below the presile price even though they don't give it for free but the value will increase in a short time because for early users the price is sui 0.03 while ieo on major exchanges has been announced at a price 0.1
legit or not no one will know.

Not sure though is that is good project in the beginning, never heard of it before to be honest. But as you have said, when majority of the altcoins are doing airdrop to gain support from the community, they do the opposite by not doing it.

Maybe they have their own reasons to do it, but then again, I would say that it's the norm in the community that at least a legit project should airdrop those who support them specially in the beginning. Perhaps the only reason I see them not doing it because they are afraid that those who are going to received it will dump the tokens right away.

For the information I am seeing the developers never made any promise about an airdrop, and instead they seemed to have been very firm against the idea of ever having one, so anyone which participated on the testnet program does not have any legitimate reason to complain about the lack of an airdrop.

Now about your question about this project being a scam, at least on this topic the answer is no, but you must never forget that many projects can turn into a scam in just a few seconds, so you need to remain vigilant in the case the developers of this project finally do something which can be interpreted as scamming their investors.

The retroactive airdrops are always unsure. Some opt to give back to the community and some arent. Lets just move on if we participate on their testnet since every project has the right not to give and these are just speculations. Who knows they might give some on suprise or anything. Ive seen a lot who got dissapointed but thats fine. Maybe participating on their community sale is also a bonus since its quite low.

Not necessarily a scam but are you asking only because of the airdrop? Because that might be only thing worth time in this. As a project i see this being similar to sol but sol devs are never going to jump ship for this so this most likely dies at some point as irrelevant. Or at least it stays low cap as i can see zero changes for this fighting from the top marketcap spots.

This is all the machinations of those who failed to get a whitelist to participate in the sale on the exchanges)) Perhaps they are trying to influence the team in this way so that it changes its decision and allocates airdrop to all participants of the test network.

The fomo of the participants for the reason that some projects previously had large airdrop programs for the community, however, the recent statements disappointed the project's community. Honestly, I see the project very clearly that it's just stubborn and greedy users that they will get the reward, in the crypto environment with airdrop participants they all use faith as the main thing so when things don't work out As they wish, they will always express their frustrations. I just feel like a lot of people are acting like scavenger vultures, the truth is that the project also repeats NO AIRDROP over and over again, anyway this is still a top project for me despite its problems. topic about this but it will continue to develop in the future.

SUI deceived all its testers and early adopters, though not openly. Many hoped that it would be a new Aptos, only much more generous, but in the end it turned out to be extremely unfriendly to their community, moreover, politicized. They made hope for all their users from CIS countries, and then blocked their access to buy tokens, and also blocked some social networks, designed for such users. In general, the community is already openly calling SUI a scam.

Likewise. They only came out after this issue of not airdropping their participants but before those people complain, are they sure that SUI promise to do an airdrop? They can mention something about the airdrop but as long as they don't confirm it to be true, people shouldn't hope about it. I wouldn't blame the project for that and call them a scam.

There are still more than just an airdrop and if this project is proven to be great, those investors can still earn massive with their investments especially if they learn how to hodl it. For those projects who are planning to conduct an airdrop, they can use other coins if they are afraid that their coins will be dumped.

Looks funny with many people said SUI is scam project or asking about SUI reputation at the future, its happen because SUI not allocated their coins for airdrop participants have been active join and claim faucet testnet airdrop until several of airdrop participants joined on Testnet program but there are not any coin allocated yet for airdrop.

Don't have bigger expectation with any airdrop and fatal mistake when joining with all airdrop program but SUI not release yet about the airdrop hunter will earn SUI coins later, if you have much money can participants in SUI presale on OKX, Kucoin and Bybit hope raise more than 10x from SUI price pre sale start from 0.03$ until 0.1$.

many are become concerned with the fact that despite sui has succesfully raised tremendous amount of investment it's still regardless trying to cater further funds in which it seems the sui devs are quite greedy but maybe they just found that even without the airdrops many are already flocking to the project anyway so having airdrop is definitely waste of resource, so they try to increase their market capitalization through additional fundraising which many considered ridiculous.

Indeed, the SUI team never promised airdrop, but after all, the Arbitrum team repeated the same thing many times, and nevertheless airdrop for early users was still distributed. Therefore, despite the team's assurances that SUI would not be airdrop, the testers continued to test the network and trusting that their work would be encouraged.

What exactly is meant by the term fraud? In my opinion, they immediately said that there would be no airdrop, but at the same time, other projects that come out in this network are just doing airdrops.

It's a FUD I guess. Big airdrops today are speculated for a long time now and SUI is one of the project that has been speculated to give airdrops to their testnet users. They announced that they will incentivize their testnet (https://blog.sui.io/sui-incentivized-testnet/) users but they didn't actually said anything about airdrop. The news about them doing an airdrop is just an speculations and I think SUI team would incentivize their users on a different way. People are just disappointed after interacting in that project with high hopes of getting a reward by receiving an airdrop and now there are an announcement that they will not do an airdrop. And today, People just spread FUD anywhere just to fulfill their anger as they act like they forced to participate in their testnet.

Be wary of any project that makes unrealistic promises or fails to live up to their commitments. Is SUI a scam project or legit. However, the fact that they conducted a lengthy TestNet program and refused to reward their community with an airdrop, while only allowing selected participants to participate in their presale, raises some question marks.

I think, Several factors to consider include the team behind the project, the technology they use, the problems they solve, the market demand, and the transparency of the project as a whole so that it doesn't go to waste.
