Neiro responded to the doubts: Choosing Gotbit as the market maker was a stopgap measure in the rush to go public, and he is willing to take responsibility for this misjudgment

Odaily News In response to crypto detective ZachXBT's question about why Neiro initially chose Gotbit, which has a very bad reputation, as a market maker, Neiro CTO co-head "S" responded that when Justin Sun's Twitter asked him to list HTX, he actually only had a few hours to find one, and time was tight. Gotbit was chosen because the market maker offered a stay agreement at the time, which was the most affordable option so far. Second, the project saw it as a quick solution for HTX listing (the agreement with Gotbit was for 3 months), and then planned to explore other options when the budget was larger. Third, it lacked experience in judging the industry. Although it had heard all kinds of bad things about Gotbit, it had also heard all kinds of bad things about almost everyone in the industry, so it was difficult to make a judgment. “S” also stated: “I had no direct contact with Gotbit before, so I chose to trust them and gave them a chance. Gotbit also advertised itself as a “meme coin-friendly” market maker, which seemed like an attractive offer.” “S” concluded: “But ultimately, I take full responsibility for this and I should have been more careful. I am heartbroken by this outcome and have paid a huge price for it. At the same time, this has also given us a huge learning opportunity, and it has forced us to fundamentally improve the project by working with better and more market makers to reduce counterparty risk and upgrade the market for Neiro transactions.”
