DROPSTER by
@absterxyz has been REMOVED from the portal.
Since launch, I and several other players lost money against our will - by clicking “Play for $5,” the game charged $500instead.
I immediately opened a support ticket via their Telegram bot, and at first everything seemed fine.
But in reality:
1. Abster account simply redirected users to Telegram support - without any public statement, without warning players/holders, and without even disabling the game while the issue was being investigated.
2. Support response time was around 24 hours. Some affected users never received a reply at all, even though this was a newly launched product featured on the Abstract portal.
3. Personally, I played more than once. After the first $500 charge, I contacted support immediately. A few minutes later, I tried again to check whether it was a one-time bug - that time I actually won.
I continued spinning at “$5,” but being charged $500 each time - purely as an experiment (my mistake, I should have recorded it).
After several attempts, I stopped. I couldn’t determine why $500 was being charged, and ended up around -$300 total. Not critical, but clearly unacceptable when you expect $5 spins and get $500 instead.
4. When communication with the dev team finally started, they insisted the issue could not be on their side.
I agree that it may not be in the contract itself (it passed a
@ShieldifySec audit), but rather in the logic or the way the contract is called - which is a different layer of the problem.
After some disputes, there was silence…
Then a message came: “There was NO issue on our side” 🤣
A few hours later:
“The issue WAS on our side. Refunds are coming.”
5. Meanwhile, large holders started selling. I know
@absforeever faced the same issue, and after being banned (or whatever happened) in their Telegram, he sold a ~$5K bag.
Result:
The main memecoin of Abstract effectively crashed after releasing a raw product, with poor support and no timely communication on X.
Now, app selection on
@AbstractChain will likely become stricter, making it harder for regular users to get listed - but the main thing is user safety.
