Shaw accuses baoskee of insider trading during ai16z rebrand and migration

ElizaOS founder Shaw has accused daos.fun founder baoskee of trading on non-public information during the ai16z project’s rebranding and migration process, alleging that baoskee made about $6.6 million by selling ai16z. According to Shaw, the project team had promised in June 2025 to launch a Snapshot vote so the community could decide whether to change the name, after a16z had asked the project to adopt a different name to avoid trademark disputes. Shaw said the voting mechanism was not launched as promised, and claimed baoskee sold all ai16z held in the daos.fun execution wallet after learning about the naming pressure and migration plans, then continued selling before the move to elizaOS, pushing the token price lower. baoskee rejected the allegations, saying the Snapshot vote had in fact gone live and that daos.fun had added and locked more than $1 million in ai16z liquidity at its own expense. He also accused Shaw of serious problems in project operations, token migration, and the use of development funds. Shaw said he would attach relevant Solscan on-chain records at the end of his post.

daos.fun founder accuses core member of making about $6.655 million from ai16z token sales

A public dispute has broken out inside the daos.fun camp after founder Shaw accused core member baoskee of profiting from ai16z token sales while allegedly knowing that Andreessen Horowitz, or a16z, had asked the project to change its name to avoid trademark issues. Shaw said baoskee did not follow through on a promise to launch a Snapshot voting mechanism and instead sold large amounts of ai16z from an execution wallet. He claimed wallets linked to baoskee sold roughly 42.18 million ai16z across multiple transactions, generating about $6.655 million in profit, with known costs of only around $3,863. baoskee pushed back in a post of his own, calling Shaw "completely insane." He also leveled a string of counteraccusations, saying Shaw had rugged multiple pump.fun projects using the ai16z brand, turned a community meme token into a company with serious copyright problems, drove the token’s market capitalization from the billions down to six figures, and launched a second token that rugged the first and caused user losses. baoskee also said the Snapshot vote had in fact gone live and that the site remained accessible. He added that daos.fun had used its own funds to add and lock more than $1 million in ai16z liquidity.
