   The investigation page is broadly accurate and well-sourced for a multi-entity crypto disambiguation report. The most significant factual error is the Wagyu Key Gen vulnerability patch version (v1.11.0 stated, v1.11.1 correct). The most significant currency issue is the wagyu.xyz section, which as of this review's date (May 12, 2026) understates the situation: multiple outlets reported on May 10, 2026 that the service appears to have rug-pulled with the pseudonymous founder vanishing. The Monerica rating figures have minor discrepancies attributable to new reviews after the page was written. Phishing domain takedown dates are conflated in the timeline but the underlying facts are confirmed.

   Score: 22 → 12 (-10)
   The page is well-sourced overall, with 25 of 31 claims independently confirmed and no link rot. However, two findings require correction before the page can be approved. First, claim_findings[26] is disputed by two Tier 1 sources: the page states the Wagyu Key Gen security vulnerability was patched in v1.11.0, but the official GitHub advisory and release log confirm that v1.11.0 contained an incomplete fix and the correct safe version is v1.11.1 — a safety-critical error for Ethereum stakers. Second, claim_findings[30] is marked stale: the wagyu.xyz section treats the service as an active bridge with risk factors, but Tier 2 reporting from May 10, 2026 (two days before this review) indicates an apparent rug-pull with the pseudonymous founder disappearing and routes down for over a week — a material status understatement. Three high-priority coverage gaps (wagyu.xyz rug-pull update, WAYGU CASH on-chain concentration, Wagyu Protocol contract clarification) further support revision rather than immediate approval.

Its stated mission, as described on its CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko listings, is to serve as a \"memetic movement of strength, honor, and conviction on a mission to flip the $25B vegan market.\" The token trades primarily on the Raydium decentralized exchange (WAYGU/SOL pair). No individual team members, founders, or developers are publicly identified. CoinMarketCap marks the listing as a preview page that \"does not meet full listing criteria\" and notes the absence of team information, launch date, and detailed tokenomics. CoinGecko describes the team only as \"experienced developers\" — an unverifiable boilerplate claim. Multiple YouTube videos published between April and May 2025 promoted the token using hyperbolic language including \"The Next 1000X MEMECOIN\" and \"Actual 1000x Potential,\" consistent with coordinated pump-and-dump promotional activity documented extensively across the Solana memecoin ecosystem. As of May 2026, the token had declined approximately 93.3% from its all-time high and traded near $0.0000373 per token, with a market capitalization of roughly $29,700 and 24-hour volume of approximately $8,396 — extremely thin liquidity. The maximum supply is 999.9 million WAYGU. The project website (waygu.cash) requires sign-in to access content, limiting public transparency. No smart contract audit has been publicly disclosed. The price trajectory and promotional pattern are consistent with post-pump-and-dump collapse, though no deliberate rug pull has been confirmed by a Tier 1 or Tier 2 source.","heading":"WAYGU CASH (Solana Memecoin) — High Risk","severity":"high","sources":[{"credibility":2,"name":"WAYGU CASH on CoinMarketCap","type":"other","url":"https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/waygu-cash/"},{"credibility":2,"name":"WAYGU CASH on CoinGecko","type":"other","url":"https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/waygu-cash"},{"credibility":3,"name":"WAYGU CASH - The Next 1000X MEMECOIN!

The project was incubated by BlueZilla alongside BSCPad and ETHPad. Its IDO raised $225,000 and sold out within hours at an IDO price of $0.01. The WAG token briefly achieved an all-time high of approximately $2.94 to $7.54 (sources differ) in November 2021, representing a 60–750x return from IDO price, consistent with the broader 2021 DeFi mania. By early 2026, the token had collapsed by more than 99.98% from its peak, trading near $0.00004–$0.00008 with a market capitalization under $3,000 and daily trading volume under $150. Circulating supply is approximately 46–54 million WAG against a maximum of 500 million. CoinMarketCap records a CertiK security score of 3.0 and approximately 24,850 token holders with a reported total value locked of $101,540. No full public CertiK audit report was located and verified. No formal rug pull has been documented; the collapse appears consistent with broader Velas ecosystem stagnation and market attrition rather than an exit scam. A cloned phishing domain, wagyuswap.live, received a ScamAdviser trust score of 0, exhibits hidden WHOIS ownership and co-hosted suspicious sites, and appears suspended as of investigation.

Its core product bundles token deployment, liquidity initialization, and initial purchases into a single transaction, claiming to neutralize MEV sniper bots that front-run new token launches. A feature called \"Priority Purchasing\" allows a deploying team to bundle its own token purchases at a preset price ahead of external buyers — marketed as anti-sniper protection but also a technical mechanism for insiders to acquire significant supply before public participants can transact. The associated WAGYU token is listed on CoinGecko and trades on Uniswap V2 (Ethereum). In May 2024, the BASE Launcher 1.0 was released, with Solana bundler and sniper features promised. Social presence is via @ProtocolWagyu on X. No team identities are disclosed in publicly available documentation; Gitbook documentation (v1.5.0 and v2.0) provides no founder names, auditor identity, fee schedule, or regulatory disclosures. No independent smart contract audit from CertiK, Halborn, or comparable firms was identified during this investigation.

Orders are routed through an alleged decentralized bridge aggregator, and the platform claims to conduct AML verification prior to swaps. The project explicitly bars US persons from use. Community reviews are mixed-to-negative. On XmrBazaar, the service holds an approximately 2/5 star rating across three reviews, with one reviewer alleging the site took their funds and Telegram support became unresponsive — a potential scam allegation, though this is a Tier 3 source. A Monerica directory listing shows a 3.3/5 star average across 13 community ratings, with 46% positive but 46% giving one or two stars. Reported issues include unexplained fund reductions mid-transaction, inability to withdraw to non-whitelisted wallets, 2% withdrawal fees, prolonged processing times, and unresponsive support through non-primary channels. One reviewer described the service as effectively controlled by a single individual, noting it once went offline with all open orders temporarily disappearing before being refunded — a centralization risk. The website does not disclose team identities. Automated trust scores from ScamAdviser and Gridinsoft were favorable (94/100), suggesting the primary domain is not a classic phishing site. However, community fund-loss allegations, structural centralization, and the Monero focus (which raises money-laundering risk concerns under applicable regulations) warrant caution.

It appeared on seven public security blocklists and was flagged by 2 of 2 VirusTotal vendors; it was subsequently taken offline. Both domains displayed a fake cross-chain bridge interface designed to harvest wallet credentials or induce users to sign malicious transactions. Additionally, wagyuswap.live (a clone of WagyuSwap) received a ScamAdviser trust score of 0, with hidden WHOIS ownership and co-hosted suspicious sites.

Active phishing domains impersonating wagyu-branded services were confirmed by security researchers in early 2026. No regulatory actions were identified against any entity. The overall risk profile across the cluster is high due to pervasive team anonymity, absent audits, and active brand impersonation.","timeline":[{"date":"2021-03-20","event":"Wagyu Finance (WAGYU) BEP-20 token contract verified on BSC with a 1,000,000 token supply and yield-farming model.","source":"BscScan","source_url":"https://bscscan.com/token/0x7a70e32565ba01a09282d455653c8c03ecb8ded3"},{"date":"2021-09-07","event":"WagyuSwap IDO on BSCPad and ETHPad raises $225,000 and sells out in hours at IDO price of $0.01.","source":"WagyuSwap Medium","source_url":"https://medium.com/@wagyuswap.app/wagyuswap-ido-on-bscpad-ethpad-now-sold-out-4351554e4284"},{"date":"2021-11-04","event":"WagyuSwap WAG token reaches all-time high of approximately $2.94 to $7.54, representing a 60–750x IDO return.","source":"CoinGecko / CoinMarketCap","source_url":"https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/wagyuswap"},{"date":"2022-01-01","event":"WAG token price collapses to approximately $0.0064, a decline of ~98.6% from all-time high, consistent with broader 2021–2022 DeFi market contraction.","source":"Monaquatorium research","source_url":"https://monaquatorium.org/what-is-wagyuswap-wag-a-deep-dive-into-the-velas-dex"},{"date":"2023-10-01","event":"Tenderize Labs launches its separate WAGYU governance token TGE on Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum — no relation to WagyuSwap, Wagyu Protocol, or WAYGU CASH.","source":"Tenderize.me blog","source_url":"https://www.tenderize.me/blog/wagyu-tokenomics-tge-timeline"},{"date":"2024-05-16","event":"Wagyu Protocol (wagyuprotocol.io) announces BASE Launcher 1.0 fully released, with Solana bundler and sniper features forthcoming.","source":"@ProtocolWagyu on X","source_url":"https://x.com/ProtocolWagyu/status/1791226518107988420"},{"date":"2025-04-17","event":"YouTube video titled \"WAYGU CASH - The Next 1000X MEMECOIN!\" published, indicating coordinated promotional activity for WAYGU CASH Solana memecoin.","source":"YouTube","source_url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfDFcFsqUJ8"},{"date":"2025-05-10","event":"WAYGU CASH Solana memecoin confirmed live and trading on Raydium; additional YouTube promotional videos published.","source":"YouTube","source_url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhcWlsCIY88"},{"date":"2026-02-21","event":"Phishing domains waguyu.xyz and wagayu.xyz registered simultaneously, both presenting as \"Wagyu | Private Cross-Chain Bridge\" to harvest user funds.","source":"PhishDestroy","source_url":"https://phishdestroy.io/domain/waguyu.xyz/"},{"date":"2026-03-21","event":"WagyuSwap WAG token reaches all-time low of $0.00001931 on the Velas chain.","source":"CoinGecko","source_url":"https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/wagyuswap"},{"date":"2026-04-01","event":"Phishing domains waguyu.xyz and wagayu.xyz taken offline after being flagged on multiple security blocklists including MetaMask, ScamSniffer, PhishDestroy, and SEAL.","source":"PhishDestroy","source_url":"https://phishdestroy.io/domain/wagayu.xyz/"}]},"v":1}
