None Trading ceases operations amidst critical exploit and team departures

In a shocking turn of events, None Trading ($NONE), once a rising star in the crypto trading bot space, has announced the cessation of its operations. The company cited a “critical exploit within our infrastructure” and the departure of three core team members as the reasons behind this drastic decision.

Critical exploit and team departures lead to shutdown 

$NONE token, launched on August 4, quickly gained traction with its high-end trading bot designed for cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Within just three days of the launch, the token amassed over 1,600 holders and generated $60,000 in earnings to be shared among its community. The bot, praised for its advanced algorithms and real-time data analysis, was touted as the ultimate trading companion for both novice and seasoned traders.

However, the dream was short-lived. In a somber announcement, the company revealed that it had lost significant funding and crucial team tokens due to a critical exploit. This, coupled with the loss of three core team members, made it “simply impossible to continue running the company effectively,” according to the statement.

The company has given its token holders a 30-day window to claim their rewards and withdraw their tokens and funds from the NT bot. Trading Competition winners have been paid out, and all remaining Ethereum and token fees have been sent to the reward claim wallet for holder claims.

Dear None Trading Community,

NONE is a free-to-use trading tool available on Discord. Designed for both cryptocurrencies and NFTs, the platform served as the ultimate companion for traders at all levels.  Additionally, membership in the NONE community provided users with a unique benefit – a share in the revenue generated by the bot.

The sudden downfall of None Trading comes as a shock to users who had faith in the company. It also leaves a community of over 1,600 holders in limbo and raises questions about the sustainability and security measures of similar projects in the crypto industry.
