Slow Mist: JUMPFUN project suspected of suspicious behavior, users advised to be cautious

Slow Mist's Yu Xian posted on X stating: "According to feedback from Slow Mist's intelligence agents, the JUMPFUN project (@jumpdotfun) is suspected of suspicious behavior. After analyzing the project contracts and transaction records, we found the following suspicious situations:

The JUMPBonusPool contract was originally designed with two core mechanisms:

1. Bonus pool mechanism: The last five users to donate can share the accumulated ETH bonus.
2. Time extension mechanism: Each time a user donates, the game time is automatically extended by 30 seconds.

Yesterday, the project team used owner privileges to modify the JUMPBonusPool contract pointed to by the JUMPTreasury contract twice through the setEmergencyBonusPool function.

This modification prevented users from participating in the grand prize competition of the previously accumulated JUMPBonusPool contract through normal donations. Notably, the newly replaced JUMPBonusPool contract has not been open-sourced.

These actions are in serious violation of the activity rules previously disclosed by the project team. We remind all participating users to be aware of the risks and participate cautiously."

Telegram founder Pavel Durov posted on his personal TG channel stating: "The Major mini-program is one of my favorite success stories in the Telegram ecosystem. Major was launched by 27-year-old entrepreneur Roxman, who achieved over $10 million in revenue and 70 million users in just five months.

I love Major because it quickly adopts new possibilities for the mini-program platform and adds features that feel naturally belonging to Telegram. I also admire Roxman; I have been following him since he launched Fabrika and Major.

Roxman generously donated 1% of MAJOR tokens to me, and I will not sell these tokens for the next 10 years. I heard that the Major team is preparing many innovations (such as username NFT leasing and digital ID). Tomorrow is a big day for them: MAJOR tokens will be listed on six major exchanges. I wish them good luck."
