I took a look around at ZeruAI’s zETH Race, and the funniest thing isn’t the rules—it’s how they’re promoting it.
The project’s selling point is that it scores you based on your actual on-chain history on Ethereum (zScore), using your past behavior to decide who can participate in launching new memes. They say it’s specifically designed to stop Sybil attacks, bots, and insiders jumping the queue, and they emphasize that “there’s no dev allocation.”
Then you search X and see the same sentence all over your feed:
“I’m in the zETH race. Pass #415. A new meme coin with no dev bag.”
Pass #356, Pass #214—different number, same copy-paste.
An event that claims to be all about stopping spammers is being promoted by an army of copy-pasters. On several leading posts, the number of replies is almost equal to the number of likes: 631 views, 94 likes, 121 replies. You know what that kind of ratio means: the buzz is being manufactured by people replying to each other.
Now, about the rules themselves. To qualify, you first have to mint your zScore. In other words, before the token even exists, the project is already collecting money for the first step: “proving you’re a real person.” And “no dev allocation” is still just the official line for now. Even people from the project are warning in their posts: don’t take it at face value until it’s verified on-chain.
I’m not saying scoring people based on their on-chain history is pointless—it’s better than a race to see who can click fastest. But don’t let the words “fair launch” put you in a trance. You’re always the one paying upfront, and the only ones guaranteed to make money are the people collecting the mint fees.
