ai16z

ElizaOS founder Shaw accused daos.fun founder baoskee of insider trading during the renaming and migration process of the ai16z project, claiming that he profited approximately $6.6 million by selling ai16z. Shaw stated that in June 2025, the project team promised to launch Snapshot voting so that the community could decide whether to rename the project, after a16z had requested a name change to avoid trademark disputes.Shaw claimed that, despite the voting mechanism not being launched as promised, baoskee sold all ai16z in the daos.fun execution wallet after being aware of the pressure to rename and the subsequent migration arrangements, and continued to sell before the project migrated to elizaOS, causing the token price to drop. Shaw believes that baoskee had information that other holders did not possess at that time. In response, baoskee denied the allegations, stating that the Snapshot voting had actually been launched, and that daos.fun had also self-funded to increase and lock over $1 million in ai16z liquidity. He also countered that Shaw had serious issues regarding project operations, token migration, and the use of development funds. Currently, there are significant discrepancies between the two parties' statements, and Shaw indicated that he would attach relevant Solscan on-chain records at the end of the article.

Eliza Labs founder Shaw Walters announced that the ai16z/ElizaOS token is officially "dead," and the related foundation will be closing. The reason is that the law firm Burwick Law initiated a class action lawsuit on behalf of the holders, and the foundation chose to settle due to its inability to bear the litigation costs, compensating all remaining treasury funds.Shaw stated that he has never sold ai16z tokens, has never profited from them, and only receives the same basic salary as engineers, currently living off savings. He emphasized that he will continue to develop the underlying technology of Eliza but made it clear that no tokens will be associated with Eliza anymore and advised holders to handle their tokens independently, as the foundation will not provide any buyback support.

On-chain data shows that the most profitable traders realized approximately $39 million in profits.
