The Pump Science platform announced that a problem in its GitHub repository led to a compromised launch wallet for the URO and RIF tokens, resulting in suspicions of a deliberate event near peak token valuations. The compromised wallet has not been drained but may be used to generate scam tokens. The tokens themselves are not compromised, but fears of a bigger exploit have caused their prices to drop. The DeSci trend, mixing scientific research with meme-like token appeal, is still in its early stages and faces doubts about its scientific skill. The Pump Science team has already raised doubts about its ability to do real science, and its focus seems to be on creating a meme with a sense of FOMO in its livestreams rather than revolutionizing science. Despite being among the top DeSci tokens, URO and RIF are now seen as potentially compromised rug-pull tokens. The DeSci market is valued at just under $700 million, with Origin Trail as a more long-running and legitimate project compared to Pump.fun.
