The news wasn’t received well by several X users, including “Hamster Altcoins,” who claimed that administrators of Serenity Shield’s Telegram channel were muting those who called them out.


The X user also criticized the proje for storing funds in a MetaMask hot wallet.


Hot wallets like MetaMask are connected to the internet to enable faster and easier access to decentralized finance protocols. They’re considered less secure than so-called cold wallets, which are a physical device that stores private keys offline.


The SERSH token was launched less than ten weeks ago, on Dec. 18.
