Meteora联创: once recommended Kelsier to the team behind MELANIA, but never purchased, received, or managed tokens such as MELANIA, LIBRA, etc.

Odaily Planet Daily News Meteora co-founder Ben Chow once again responded to the questions about LIBRA in his article X. Ben Chow said, "Meteora and I have never privately received or managed any tokens, nor have we been involved in any off-chain transactions. We maintain the highest level of confidentiality for the launch of any tokens on the platform. For confidentiality reasons, only a few people within Meteora can access launch information. Typically, only I know the launch time, and the token/pool address is only provided to me and one or two on-duty engineers a few minutes before the launch (if any)." The complexity of DLMM makes it so that non-native cryptographic users (such as celebrities, politicians, etc.) typically need to hire deployers and/or market makers when they want to launch tokens. We do not provide these services, but issuers often seek recommendations from me regarding deployers and/or market makers. Hayden Davis of Kelsier Ventures is one of the deployers/market makers I have recommended to projects in the past few months. We do not have a special relationship with Kelsier, just that we collaborated during the M3M3 launch that year. In that collaboration, they proved to be trustworthy, so I have recommended them to some projects, including the team behind MELANIA. Like with other projects, our role is limited to technical support, and we have not purchased, received, or managed any tokens related to MELANIA. “For LIBRA, although we learned about its possibility through Hayden a few weeks ago, we did not participate in the project except for providing IT support. Neither I nor the Meteora team have sabotaged the launch of LIBRA through leaking information, nor have we bought, received, or managed any tokens.”
