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 in 2024 as Self Chain (SLF). Its founder and CEO, Ravindra Kumar, was terminated in June 2025 following allegations, which he denies, of involvement in a roughly $50 million OTC crypto fraud scheme. The rebrand drew criticism over a fourfold supply increase at a 1:1 swap, and Binance delisted SLF on September 17, 2025, after which the token fell more than 99.9% from its peak.
