ElizaOS Founder Accuses daos.fun Founder of Profiting $6.6 Million through a16z Insider Trading

BlockBeats News, August 16th, ElizaOS founder Shaw accused daos.fun founder baoskee of insider trading during the ai16z project rebranding and migration process, alleging that baoskee profited approximately $6.6 million by selling ai16z. Shaw stated that in June 2025, the project team had promised to launch a Snapshot vote for the community to decide on the rebranding, as a16z had previously requested the project to change its name to avoid a trademark dispute.

Shaw claimed that due to the delayed launch of the voting mechanism as promised, baoskee, upon knowing the pressure for rebranding and the subsequent migration arrangement, sold all ai16z in the daos.fun treasury wallet and continued to sell before the project migrated to ElizaOS, causing a drop in the token price. Shaw believed that baoskee possessed information at that time that other holders did not.

In response, baoskee published a post denying the allegations, stating that the Snapshot vote had actually been launched, and daos.fun had voluntarily added and locked up over $1 million in ai16z liquidity. He also accused Shaw of serious issues in project operation, token migration, and the use of development funds. Currently, there is a clear discrepancy between the two parties' statements, with Shaw stating that he will include relevant Solscan on-chain records at the end of the article.
