CZ Torches Boop.fun Founder’s Credentials—’Web3 Funhouse or Exit Scam Waiting to Happen?’

Binance’s outspoken CEO Changpeng Zhao just dropped a truth bomb on Boop.fun—questioning its founder’s legitimacy in classic no-holds-barred fashion.

• The takedown: CZ’s tweetstorm highlights dubious claims in Boop.fun’s leadership bios—because nothing says ’decentralized future’ like LinkedIn fluff.

• Web3’s credibility crisis: Yet another ’fun-first’ crypto project faces scrutiny as investors demand substance over memes.

• Bonus finance cynicism: At least the vaporware promises are still 100% tax-deductible.

CZ questions Boop.fun’s credentials

Several users pointed to Dingaling on X as the potential employee CZ was referring to. In his X bio, Dingaling claims he was both be both the former Binance Chief Revenue Officer and a founder of the DEX PancakeSwap. The CRO position, according to CZ, never existed on Binance.

Although Binance’s former CEO did not reveal whether or not he was talking about Dingaling, his post still contradicts his supposed credentials. Instead, Dingaling appears to be an NFT investor turned social media influencer.

According to a report by NFT Ethics in November of 2022, Dingaling’s real name is Dinghua Ziao, an Australian man of Chinese origin. According to the published information, he is an NFT investor, and one of the earliest investors in the game.

At the time, he owned more than 100 Bored Apes and 70 Azuki NFTs, and was one of the early investors in CryptoKittens. These projects were which were some of the biggest NFTs at the time.

Despite the questions about Ziao’s credentials, boop.fun’s token is currently listed on Binance Alpha launchpad.
