šØ Why Does BOB Token Show a "Token Takeover" Warning on BscScan?
Last week, I briefly touched on this topic ā but today, letās dive deeper and set the record straight. š
Back in November, before $BOB received its Verified Badge on BscScan, the token originally launched under the name Binance Mascot (JEFF). However, as the project progressed, the development team officially rebranded it to Build On BNB (BOB).
Why the change? Simple ā āBuild On BNBā sounds more professional, is easier to remember, and aligns better with the BNB Chain ecosystem.
šØāš» So, Whoās Behind BOB?
The developer of BOB is Binance itself ā and this isn't speculation. It was publicly confirmed when BOB was listed on Binance Futures under the symbol 1000000BOB.
Think about it: BNB Chain is a part of Binance. Thereās no way BOB could receive official verification on BscScan without Binanceās backing or approval. That badge isnāt given out lightly.
ā ļø Whatās With the āToken Takeoverā Warning?
BscScan sometimes flags tokens with a āToken Takeoverā warning if there's a change in token name, ownership, or branding ā even if itās done legitimately.
In BOBās case, the change from JEFF to BOB was an official rebrand, not a hostile takeover. The warning is most likely an automated flag, not an accusation of wrongdoing. The token is verified ā that speaks volumes.
ā
The Bottom Line
I only share facts ā no baseless opinions. And the facts are:
ā
BOB was formerly called JEFF
ā
It rebranded for strategic and branding reasons
ā
It is developed and verified by Binance
ā
The "warning" is likely a system artifact, not a red flag
