A key detail regarding the FDV game theory of a certain project is worth noting: tokens must be able to be transferred and traded openly and freely to meet the definition of a formal issuance.

What does this mean? If the project later adopts a "single-machine token" approach—only allowing trading within the platform and not opening deposit and withdrawal functions to exchanges—that actually violates the condition of "transfer freedom." From a rules perspective, such a design would lead the entire market valuation to become problematic.

History has lessons: a well-known project once operated in a single-machine mode during its TGE, and this precedent is worth cautioning against. Therefore, when participating in FDV voting or valuation assessments, be sure to first check the project's token liquidity plan—don't wait until after the TGE to find yourself trapped in a single-machine ecosystem.

Another classic FDV trap. You really need to watch out for this trick of single-coin schemes. Being locked inside the platform for internal trading... frankly, it's just a disguised way to siphon money. I directly pass on projects with opaque liquidity planning.

It's the old trick of pump-and-dump coins again, stay alert. --- The single-coin tactic is really disgusting, I won't fall for it. --- Checking liquidity planning is a must, don't say I didn't warn you. --- History has already taught us lessons, yet some still fall into the trap, amazing. --- The freedom to transfer has indeed been overused. --- Realized being trapped only after TGE? It was already too late then. --- So, you need to see through the project's true intentions. --- This kind of single-coin design is essentially just a way to cut the leeks. --- You need to remember this lesson well; don't fall into the same pit twice.

Damn, it's the same old story. I really got scammed badly on that project back then. On the day of TGE, I thought I could withdraw coins directly, but they were locked inside and I couldn't move them at all, losing about 80%. Now reading this article, I feel a bit scared. I should have been alert to such single-coin trap schemes long ago.
