LookRare (LOOKS), one of the largest NFT platforms in the industry, has caused outrage in the community by confirming a $30 million cash outflow in Ethereum. Here is how the NFT platform made such a huge profit without taking any of the altcoin investors’ money…
Suspicious cash outflow from the altcoin project was disclosed
According to the fee structure declared by the NFT platforms, the project team, unrelated LOOKS Raised millions of WETH rewards by staking their tokens. When collectors sell their NFTs, they receive back as a reward LOOKS token, which is often used as a fee compensation. On the platform, however, tokens were staked in pools, and the platform’s team withdrew a large amount of wrapped Ethereum tokens (WETH) to their account, which they could pay through cryptocurrency mixing. The tweet thread below shows the on-chain trace of transactions.
LookRare’s team member later posted on his Twitter account that half of the team claimed to have worked for more than years without any pay, salary or reward. The cash traded on the platform will be distributed among the ten members of the platform, and some of these funds are currently used to purchase various NFTs. One of the team members, Zodd, explained that while using the currency mixing approach, the entire team works anonymously. As a result, he doesn’t want to be recognized by paying out huge amounts of cryptocurrencies.
Community reaction
The response was unsatisfactory and the community wanted the team to buy back LOOKS tokens instead of keeping millions of dollars in Ethereum. The platform’s cryptocurrency LOOKS has lost more than 15% of its value in a matter of hours due to a massive cash outflow. Unfortunately, detailed explanations did not prevent the token from falling further.
