It pains us to say this, but the founder of Sci-Hub has suddenly removed the $SciHub token contract from the official site and announced she no longer supports the token. What began when $Alex accepted donations, listed the CA, and encouraged people to fund Sci-Hub by buying the meme token has now taken an unexpected turn.
Many investors joined that story. Most of them—including today’s core community—are now holding heavy losses, with no chance to break even. $Alex has launched a brand-new token that has no connection to existing $SciHub holders, and this decision came without a single notice to the people who have been backing her and Sci-Hub all along.
$SciHub is now just an unsupported meme token. Community contributors have stopped work, and holders should be aware that the price may keep falling. Please manage your risk accordingly.
Yet the $SciHub community was built on the ideals of DeSci and Open Science. Our devs have been using blockchain to push for free knowledge sharing, and—even without official backing—they’ll keep fighting for that cause.
Thank you to everyone who has ever supported the $SciHub community. Let’s stay true to the mission and keep championing DeSci and Open Science.
