Recently, Manus, dubbed the 'world's first general-purpose intelligent agent product' by its publisher, has gained immense popularity. From the introduction, users only need to give Manus a simple command, and it can automatically complete complex tasks. Subsequently, the product's popularity rapidly spread, with invitation codes once being speculated to sell for tens of thousands of yuan.
With Manus's explosive popularity, the cryptocurrency market also saw several tokens named after Manus, raising speculation and concerns from the public. Some voices pointed out that Manus was engaging in excessive marketing and hype, with the intention of 'cutting leeks' in the crypto circle.
On March 7, the official X account of Manus AI was suspended by the platform due to a violation of platform rules. Manus co-founder and chief scientist Ji Yichao immediately stated that they were actively working with X's support team to resolve the matter. Preliminary observations indicate that this suspension may be related to third-party mentions of cryptocurrency scams.
Ji Yichao also clarified, 'Manus has never participated in cryptocurrency projects, token issuance, or blockchain plans; any cryptocurrency companies claiming to be associated with us under similar names are fraudulent.' Subsequently, on March 8, the official Manus AI account was restored.
