Post #191

Over the past weeks, we’ve tested multiple formats, adjusted variables, and modeled numerous scenarios to deliver a fair and competitive environment for MemeRepublic. However, given the current market conditions in the broader crypto ecosystem and the valuable feedback shared by our community, it’s become clear that this is an important moment to pause and reassess our approach. We completed Week 3 as planned, but we also received credible allegations, with supporting evidence, indicating that the competition may have been gamed. To protect the integrity of the 10-week series, we are pausing the distribution of Week 3 rewards and putting MemeRepublic on hold while we review both the allegations and the competition's overall structure. This pause will give us the opportunity to carefully assess all community input, examine the evolving landscape, and strengthen our framework to more effectively reflect the standards and expectations of our users. Once this review is complete, we will share the updated plan for the remainder of the series. We appreciate the community’s engagement, insight, and continued support as we work to deliver the best possible experience. — TON Foundation
