Subject: Complaint Regarding Unfair Testnet Rewards and Token Locking by aZen Protocol I’m writing this to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with how the aZen Protocol team has handled the rewards distribution for their DePIN Lite Testnet participants. Many community members, including myself, contributed significant time, effort, and resources to support the growth and testing of the aZen ecosystem. In return, we were promised a fair reward system, including a share of the $2 million pre-mining pool and a transparent token conversion process. However, what we received was far from fair. Despite accumulating tens or even hundreds of thousands of points, most participants received dust-level rewards—an amount that feels like an insult, not a token of appreciation. The compensation clearly does not reflect the scale of contribution expected from the community. To make things worse: The $AZEN token was listed before the claim process even began, allowing insiders or early-access holders to trade while testnet contributors were locked out. After receiving our rewards (converted from $XaZen), the tokens are non-transferable. We cannot move them to other wallets, exchanges, or even use them meaningfully within the ecosystem. This raises serious concerns about decentralization and fairness. This situation strongly feels like a bait-and-switch: we helped build and promote the protocol under certain expectations, only to be rewarded with meaningless tokens and no transparency. I urge the aZen Protocol team to: Provide a transparent breakdown of how rewards were calculated. Allow full transferability of tokens received through the testnet. Compensate the community fairly and openly based on actual effort. If no corrective actions are taken, I and many others will have no choice but to warn future participants and potential partners about the risks of engaging with aZen Protocol. We expected integrity. We received deception.
