So far, 90% of YFI-like projects are scams!

I will suggest you to use small size images which will help your thread visitors to scroll down fast. You can add domain details on main thread.

And some of them are copied from this another source, spin some words.

I'm trying to find the team behind, looks like it is not included in their website (unless I may have missed it), nevertheless the red flags are all over.

Thank! Added domain information. I will take into account your recommendation on the size of the images, tomorrow I will reduce it and post it in a new format.

Nice addition to Y scam list. Also, how about the original y finance?
Are they really solid platform? Because they are still in beta and yet they are enjoying the expensive price in the market.
Not really a fan of this Y project. Seems very shady to me.

Kind of reminds me the olden days of Ethereum Blue and eBTC ICO and airdrop scams. Yfinance looks too shady to me too, One thing am sure about is that some people are going to lose lots of money and cry in the end.



OP, It's good to always archive such websites and whitepapers for future reference in case the scammers try to edit the details

There have been many projects that started from Y with many accusations ranging from plagiarism to whitepapers and also team forgery, all of which were done just to get money from investors.

Well I am also now a little reminded of where at that time the ICO again produced a lot of imitation coins from Ethereum and bitcoin and in the end they were shady too.
