anchored·2dim29…4EHbSummary
Frontier (FRONT) was a chain-agnostic DeFi aggregation and non-custodial wallet platform that launched via token generation event in September 2020 and rebranded to Self Chain (SLF) in 2024. The project's founder and CEO, Ravindra Kumar, was ousted in June 2025 following allegations of involvement in a $50 million OTC crypto fraud scheme. The rebranding itself drew significant community backlash due to a 4x token supply increase (90M to 360M) conducted at a 1:1 swap ratio, which on-chain analysts characterized as a 75% effective dilution of holder value. Binance subsequently delisted SLF in September 2025 following a monitoring tag placement and exchange concerns about code transparency and governance.
