💀 Tabi — how to burn $25 million, trust, and a community
Once upon a time, @Tabichain looked like a real breakthrough. They raised $25 million in investments and aimed to become something big: first an NFT marketplace, then a gaming platform, then something else.
But what started as an ambitious project quickly turned into a murky carousel of shifting concepts, delays, promises, and total disrespect toward their community.
📉 Constant flip-flopping: from NFTs to Telegram tap games
At first, Tabi was about NFTs. Then — GameFi. Then it became unclear what direction they were even moving in.
When the hype for Telegram tap games started, they immediately threw their “plate” in there.
$25 million — and in the end, you see a poorly made Telegram tapper. Boring, unoriginal, secondary. Just to “be trendy.” It looked pathetic.
🔄 Flip-flopping and chaos inside
Over two years, the platform went through multiple rebrandings, reshufflings, and role reallocations in Discord. It felt like they didn’t even understand what they were doing themselves.
Even I, who was inside almost from the start, at some point completely stopped understanding what was going on. The community boss, tired of the constant mess, simply gave up and left.
Meanwhile, volunteers and moderators kept holding everything up for free, for years. Some for 2.5 years. For virtual tokens, for “we’ll pay later,” for empty promises.
😓 Moderators — the real heroes
There were people who truly invested themselves. Moderators who didn’t just do their job — they kept the community in order, settled disputes, helped newcomers.
They weren’t paid. They were ignored. But they stayed — because they believed.
And they’re the ones I pity the most. Because such people deserved more than to become disposable.
🙋♂️ I believed too
I myself supported Tabi for a year, sincerely thinking they would make a great GameFi project.
When other influencers already called it dead — I argued, defended, believed. But how long can you defend something that’s burning itself from the inside?
🧨 The eternal promises of TGE
TGE (token generation event) was supposed to be the final point after which everything would fall into place.
It was promised many times. And every time the date approached — it got postponed. For various reasons: “not the right time,” “market conditions,” “not ready.”
In reality, it felt like we were just being strung along: just a little more, just a bit longer — and everything will be fine.
🧪 So many testnets that your head spins
At some point, the team decided to build their own blockchain. They launched testnet after testnet — so many phases that no one understood where we were, why, or what counted as activity.
People participated in contests, wrote guides, made art, created splash screens, logos, memes. Their work was used and then simply discarded.
When it came to rewards — reality hit hard: they promised one thing, gave another, or nothing at all. People who were promised specific payments for design or content waited for their “crumbs” for weeks. And this in a project backed by $25 million.
💬 What happened to volunteers
Among volunteers, fatigue reigned. People just wanted to hold on until TGE — to finally leave.
They told how rewards were sharply cut (for example, from 12k tokens down to 3k) under a silly excuse: “less means higher price.” Considering the trillion token supply, this was a joke.
Later, rewards were cut even more — down to 500 tokens, given some useless items. And even those were not given to everyone, without explanations.
Even OG angels had to manually sort things out to get what was promised.
The “angels” program, designed as elite, turned out so badly implemented that now everyone suffers the consequences: moderators can’t even issue mutes because the system is broken.
Some of the old moderators who worked for a year and a half ended up with lower status than “newbies” dragged in from the street. And no one apologized. No explanations.
Just “you’re no longer important.”
💳 And now they’re making a payment system
At the time of writing this post, the Tabi team announced they are making a payment system. A new concept. A new “goal.” A new excuse not to do the TGE on time.
We’ve been through all this already. There was GameFi, a marketplace, a network, a clicker, a rebranding. Now — a payment system.
And it’s just another way to delay the inevitable.
🧍 The last six months
For the last six months, I’ve done almost nothing on the server. Sometimes I just drop in to chat with the guys who are still there.
The project no longer interests me. But there are people I got attached to over time.
🌱 The only positive
And here’s what I can honestly say: the most valuable thing I got from Tabi is the people.
Real, reliable, smart people. Those who later invited me to other projects that actually launched, actually released tokens, and rewarded their community.
And that’s the only reason I don’t regret the time spent here.
🧠 My conclusion
I’m not angry. I’m just tired.
Tabi is a project that scattered tens of millions, destroyed its reputation, and drained everything it could from the community — leaving behind only ashes.
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick.”
— Proverbs 13:12, The Bible
But in our case, it’s not just the waiting that hurts — it’s the lies, the disregard, the helplessness.
If you think “this time will be different” — just remember how many times you’ve already heard that.

To avoid misunderstandings, I will delete the old post. After the core-team knew everything, the head of Discord (1 Shot/Mercy) was fired, and the team also fully paid the salary he stole. Thanks to the Tabi team and everyone who supported me. These past few days, I have received a lot of messages from volunteers and another MODs about whether I will back or not. To avoid any misunderstandings, I will explain more clearly in this article: Yeah, I won't back Tabi. First, I'm not a core member of Tabi. Maybe during the work process, you have misunderstood my role. I am just a MOD and my departure will not affect the project at all. Tabichain will continue to grow. Second: It's not because of the salary issue, Tabi team pays me very well. Third: I also had a direct conversation with the 2 founders of Tabi, I also presented about the contributions of the volunteer team in the past and those contributions have been recognized. And finally, I really want more time to rest, after a very long time. Thank you everyone for your love, I hope to see Tabi at the top of the marketcap soon.
