EPIK Creator Responds to Controversy: Repurchased Over 50% of Tokens in Three Years, Plans Airdrop for Long-Term Supporters

In response to community criticism that "holding 50% of the tokens is meaningless," EPIK creator Mando stated that he spent three years supporting the project and used personal funds to repurchase over 50% of the tokens, rather than acquiring a large amount of tokens through an airdrop.

Mando mentioned that he jokingly created EPIK during a livestream and subsequently invested a seven-figure sum to support the token over the long term. He noted that this is completely different from the approach of some KOLs, creators, and celebrities who sold tokens they received over the past three years.

He revealed that he did not conduct any repurchases that day, but over the last three years, he has cumulatively bought back over 50% of the tokens. He is currently considering distributing some tokens in batches via airdrop to community members and related users who have provided long-term assistance.
