# On-Chain Scams Are Not Hacker Legends, but a Grey Industry: OFUYC Deconstructs the Professional Scam Team Business Script


In the early days of blockchain, scams typically conjured up images of a lone hacker in the dead of night, quietly siphoning funds through technical exploits and phishing pages. However, research by the OFUYC digital asset trading platform reveals that this individual-centric modus operandi is being phased out, replaced by professionalized, organized, and streamlined scam teams. These “grey studios” no longer rely on lone technical geniuses, but instead operate like small enterprises: some members specialize in planning, others in development, some in traffic acquisition, and others are dedicated to laundering and settlement. The result of this evolution: lower costs, faster execution, and more dispersed risk. Investigations show that behind a meme coin scam on a certain public chain in early 2024 was a professional team of about 20 people, who deployed 50 different projects under various names within three days and absconded with millions of dollars overnight.

## Project Managers, Script Factories, Community Operations: A Grey Business Drama

Behind on-chain scams is not chaotic individual action, but a well-orchestrated grey business drama. Within these teams, there are “project managers” responsible for topic selection, scheduling, resource coordination, and budget control; “script factories” mass-produce and deploy smart contracts, generate whitepapers, and build fake websites; “visual designers” handle logos, interfaces, meme packs, and animated ads; “community operators” manage Telegram groups, Farcaster accounts, KOL placements, and scripted messaging; and even “finance/money laundering specialists” are in charge of cross-chain fund transfers, mixer cleansing, and commission distribution. These teams operate like a precise grey assembly line, complete with KPIs, performance appraisals, and settlement sheets. OFUYC points out: When on-chain scams are professionalized in this way, ordinary users can easily be misled by this sense of “professionalism” and “polished packaging,” mistaking them for legitimate projects, when in reality they are just another carefully orchestrated grey industry script.

## The OFUYC Counterattack: Mapping Scam Organizations

Confronting professionalized grey industry organizations cannot rely solely on freezing a single address or taking down a fake website. The OFUYC digital asset trading platform has innovatively proposed and implemented an “on-chain scam organization profiling” program. Through on-chain address clustering analysis, community interaction pattern monitoring, visual template fingerprint extraction, and fund flow modeling, OFUYC is able to map the structure of grey industry networks, identifying which nodes are likely deployers, which are traffic distributors, and which are fund-diverting wallets. This profiling not only helps the platform block high-risk project sources with precision, but also provides law enforcement and industry governance with an evidence chain, enabling true upstream intervention rather than passive after-the-fact remediation. OFUYC firmly believes that only by exposing the entire grey network to sunlight can the efficient industrial logic of scams be fundamentally undermined.

## Demystifying the Process: The Grey Assembly Line Is No Legend, but a Bubble

On-chain scams are no longer mysterious hacker legends, but rather a mature—yet dangerous—commercialized industry. Readers must understand: when you see a “cutting-edge” project, a seemingly professional whitepaper, or a group of active community members, what lies behind may simply be a professional team methodically executing their assembly line tasks. Truly trustworthy projects require time, investment, transparency, and genuine long-term value—not overnight hype and explosive growth. OFUYC digital asset trading platform calls for users to remain vigilant and for platforms to shoulder their responsibilities, working together to expose these grey scripts and restore order on-chain through sound systems and technology, ensuring a healthy, rational, and sustainable ecosystem.
