X EMPIRE has recently announced a partnership with OKX, which might sound like great news at first. But is it?
Before you celebrate, let's take a hard look at what's really going on—and how this could be a repeat of the Hamster Kombat scam.
First, let’s talk about X EMPIRE’s recent moves. If you’ve been paying attention, you might notice some familiar patterns.
After promising to launch soon, they abandoned all of that and instead rolled out a "season 2," Sound familiar right? It should.
Because, this is straight out of the playbook $HMSTR Kombat used to waste the time of it community while milking them for traffic.
A few days ago, they also announced that October 17 will be the end of their so-called "chill phase" But let’s be real here.

First of all, who rolls out chill phase after promising to launch soon, and not just rolling out a chill phase but the chill phase lasting for 2 weeks or so.
That is 14+ days of cornily sending users to YouTube for their own selfish and greedy gain, which is quite pathetic.
not just that, let's even take a look at their pre-market price, brother, it’s nothing short of discouraging.
And they could even add salt to the fresh injury, If they go the same route Hamster did with their token allocation.
You think that's all?
No, remember the TON transaction they forced on you?
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from all the TON airdrop projects that hit the market, it’s this: any project asking you to pay is either looking to outrightly scam you, or—at best—favor those who cough up the most cash.
Take $CATI for example, and that exactly what X EMPIRE looks poised to follow.
So, what should you do to avoid getting burned?
1. Don’t waste your time on the chill phase. It’s just a diversion.
2. Stop making any TON transactions, especially if you’ve already made one.
3. Lower your expectations—this isn’t a project that’s going to deliver what you hope.
4. Empty your token bag the moment X EMPIRE gets listed. Don’t wait around for some promised moonshot.
If you’re still doubting me, remember how I called out Hamster Token before it even launched, and everyone thought I was crazy.
But I was right then, and you can bet I’m right about this too.
Please, Don’t get fooled twice.

Since the inception of $NOT and its eventual trading on major exchanges, we’ve seen countless projects burst onto the scene, each claiming to be the next Notcoin.
But how many of these so-called next-Notcoin projects have actually lived up to their promises, hype, and expectations?
Well, apart from $DOGS, There has been hardly any. And worse thing is that we are now seeing more wolves in sheep’s clothing take advantage of Notcoin’s success.
They do this by over-promising the community members and ultimately dumping the project on them.
So today, I want to walk you the 6 easy to spot red flags that will help you spot fake scam tap-to-earn projects, so you don’t waste your time on them anymore.
Let’s get it going!
1. Earning in-game millions/billions.
One of the easy way to spot a scam tap-to-earn projects from the very start is how they make it easy for you to earn millions of in-game tokens/earning during the early days.
When you see this, be rest assured that you're dealing with a project that has the potential to turn out to be a scam.
Scam potential 7/10
2. They Ask You to Pay Upfront
One of the most reliable markers of a scam is when a project asks you to pay something upfront. Genuine projects like $NOT and $DOGS never required payment, not for once.
Therefore, if you are asked to invest at any point during or after the mining phase, just know that the odds are stacked against you.
That's because, Only those who pay stand a chance at benefiting—if anyone does at all.
Scam potential: 8.9/10.
3. Suspicious "Season 2" Rollouts
Ever notice how some projects launch a "Season 2" before even listing their token? $Hmstr, $CATS, and X Empire have all pulled this trick, using the guise of a new season to squeeze more money and attention out of their communities.
This tactic is more about profit for the team and less about adding real value for the users.
Scam potential: 9/10.
4. Too Many Daily Tasks
Some projects try to gamify your participation by bombarding you with daily tasks. While it may seem like you’re accumulating value, the reality is you’re simply being milked for your time and effort.
Genuine projects, like $NOT and $DOGS, didn’t rely on excessive tasks to engage users. Compare that to $Hmstr, $Cati, or X Empire, and you’ll see the difference.
Scam potential: 8/10.
5. Excessive Token Supply
If a project has an unusually large token supply, it's likely designed to devalue your earnings. The more tokens that flood the market, the less your hard-earned coins are worth.
Be wary of projects promising limitless tokens—you’ll likely end up with nothing of real value.
Scam potential: 6.5/10.
6. Vesting
Vesting can sound like a legitimate way to lock in your tokens for future use, but it often ends up being a strategy to withhold your rewards indefinitely.
If a project is holding your allocation hostage under the guise of "vesting," be on high alert, because it's a TRAP.
We've seen this in projects such as Pixelverse, HMSTR, and $CAT.
Scam potential: 8/10.
By now, you might be thinking: “What’s left to trust?”
The truth is, not all tap-to-earn projects are scams, but the moment you spot at least three of these above listed RED FLAGS, then RUN!!!
Don’t let scammers waste your precious time and efforts.
If you’re looking for something that’s truly worth your time, at the moment $BLUM is a standout project that has shown real promise and fairness.
Take action now! Stay vigilant, protect yourself, and always choose projects that respect your time and effort.
Do you think this signs are enough to not farm a project?
