Atom Protocol’s Twitter has disappeared but its last tweet claimed there was a “problem” with the projects contracts. The problem appears to have been that whoever was behind the project wanted to steal everyone’s money.

Strangely, Atom Protocol received “certification” from KYC (Know Your Customer) by Assure, an NFT project that tries to give validity to other projects by ensuring they’re trustworthy. We know how much that was worth, obviously. Nothing.

It’s unclear how much money the scammers were ultimately able to get away with, but there are plenty of people on social media who say they lost money. Just because a project appears to have been “verified” doesn’t mean it’s not a scam.
