A popular Discord crypto trading bot, None Trading, has declared the cessation of its operations due to a ‘critical exploit’ affecting its infrastructure.
“We have lost a significant amount of funding, as well as the team tokens that were crucial for our operations,” the statement declared.
The Discord Crypto Trading Bot Had No Alternative
A recent statement reveals that the exploit has crippled None Trading, rendering it inoperable.
“This unfortunate incident has put us in a financial and infrastructural position that makes it simply impossible to continue running the company effectively.”
The statement did not specify the nature of the exploit or the extent of financial losses incurred.
However, it mentions that the project has experienced the departure of “3 core team members.” These members were allegedly crucial for maintaining smooth operations.
None Trading explains that it will soon delete all content and conduct due diligence on online security platforms.
“we are left with no other option but to cease operations as a company. In the coming hours, we will begin the process of archiving and, if necessary, taking down the None Trading website, Discord server, and Telegram channel.”
Token holders have a 30-day window to claim their rewards on the website before it goes offline.
Similarly, users will have the same timeframe to withdraw their tokens and funds from the None Trading bot. It was warned that all transactions must occur within this window before the bot becomes permanently offline.

The statement additionally mentions that they have already disbursed payments to all winners of the trading competition.
The incident sparked skepticism within the community, with users commenting on the official post and tagging blockchain investigator ZachXBT for his input.
