The peaceful world tokens that appeared to be sent by Ukraine’s crypto addresses could have been spoofed, blockchain analysts said.
An airdrop of peaceful world (WORLD) tokens that appeared to come from Ukraine’s crypto addresses might have been a spoof, blockchain analysts said.
Ukraine confirmed it would hold an airdrop Wednesday after raising more than $33 million in various cryptocurrencies from global donors. Over $7 million in donations were made hours after the airdrop announcement.
The airdrop to eligible recipients – those who donated cryptocurrencies to charities working toward the betterment of citizens affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – appeared to have started earlier Thursday, blockchain addresses showed.
The airdrop started shortly after CoinDesk reported Ukraine appeared to be seeding liquidity pools on Uniswap with WORLD tokens.
Blockchain explorer Etherscan has now tagged WORLD tokens as “misleading” and that the tokens could be spam or phishing.
