Yescoin founder Zhang Chi detained amid business dispute in China
Zhang Chi, also known as Zoroo, the founder of Yescoin — a mini-game project within the Telegram Open Network ecosystem — was detained by Shanghai police.
This detention followed a business dispute with his partner, identified as Wang Mouxin or ‘OldWang.’ The disagreement, initially a civil matter, has escalated into a criminal case, raising concerns within the Yescoin community.
Yescoin, operating within the TON ( TON ) ecosystem, tries to integrate blockchain technology with gaming, offering users a decentralized platform for mini-games.
The project has garnered attention for its innovative approach to combining gaming with blockchain, attracting a diverse user base interested in both sectors.
The internal dispute between Zhang Chi and his partner Wang has cast a shadow over the project’s future.
The Yescoin team addressed the situation on their official X account, stating: “What began as a business agreement between partners has now escalated into a criminal case.”
They expressed regret over the incident, acknowledging its potential to undermine community consensus and peace, and conveyed their sadness over the disruption caused.
Despite Zhang’s detention, the Yescoin team has assured users that the platform continues to operate normally. They remain committed to maintaining platform stability and upholding community trust.
