Scamchains: The Most Popular Blockchains for Scammers?
Smart contracts are not just a revolutionary innovation — they’re also a great way to steal money from crypto users. And don’t think that being an experienced investor is a foolproof way to protect yourself. The longer you stay in crypto, the higher the chance that you’ll eventually lose some of your assets.

Scam projects pop up in every network. But which blockchains are the riskiest? Here’s our completely subjective ranking of blockchains most loved by scammers.

Polygon: The Copycat Haven

Polygon (MATIC) is an L2 blockchain designed to improve Ethereum’s scalability. It offers low fees and high throughput, making it a prime target for scammers.

Since Polygon is EVM-compatible, it allows Ethereum smart contracts to be deployed with minimal changes, making it easy for scammers to create copycat versions of successful projects. These scams look like improved versions of existing projects or outright impersonate originals — without offering any real value.

Examples of scams on Polygon:

  • Polygon Punks – An NFT project that successfully launched on OpenSea by impersonating CryptoPunks. OpenSea eventually removed it, but not before many users lost their money.

  • Shiba Polygon – This project parasitized off the popularity of SHIB, pretending to be its Polygon fork. Later, it turned out to be just another worthless meme token, while the real SHIB project continued to grow.

  • Polycat Finance – Marketed as a Polygon-based PancakeSwap, offering farming, staking, and an AMM. In 2021, the team suddenly changed, the tokenomics shifted, and the project collapsed. Some say it wasn’t originally a scam - but tell that to those who bought its token FISH at $60 (now worth less than $0.05).

BNB/Tron: The Pyramid Schemes’ Playground

Both BNB and Tron have huge user bases — BNB thanks to Binance, and Tron due to USDT TRC-20's popularity. Where there are users and liquidity, scammers follow.

Some of the most notorious scams on BNB and Tron include Ponzi schemes like Forsage (which ran on BNB & Ethereum) and Troncase. These were classic "send money, invite friends" models with no real tokenomics. Devs could reset the smart contract at any time, which they eventually did — after which courts officially recognized them as Ponzi schemes.

Another pyramid, Lion’s Share, first launched on Tron and later migrated to Polygon. Both networks are also filled with copycat projects, scam NFTs, and fake staking pools.

TON: Scam Mini-Apps & Fake Exchanges

TON is a user-friendly blockchain with a growing GameFi ecosystem and a broad user base. However, its accessibility has also made it attractive to scammers.

Some of the most common TON scams include:

  • Scam tap-to-earn games — Users can only earn tokens through donations in TON, but the project dies before any listings or airdrops happen. Another variation — devs keep most of the tokens and manipulate prices, ensuring players cash out far less than they put in.

  • Fake crypto exchanges — Some platforms appear legitimate but lack any real liquidity, making trading practically impossible.

  • Scam staking bots — Bots with no team information offering 10%+ APY — but once you stake your tokens, you can never withdraw them.

  • Pyramid schemes & scam casinos — Nothing new here.

TON scams will likely continue until Telegram tightens its mini-app moderation policies.

Solana: The Land of Rug Pulls & Meme Coins

Solana is frequently exploited by scammers, but in a different way. Instead of fake projects or Ponzi schemes, Solana is dominated by meme coin scams — tokens that inevitably go to zero.

Common Solana scams include:

  • Classic pump-and-dump schemes — Fake hype, artificial price surges, and inevitable crashes.

  • Rug pulls — Liquidity suddenly drained from DeFi projects like BFT, leaving investors with worthless tokens.

So, Which Blockchains Are the Most Scam-Infested?

The honest answer: "The ones with the most liquidity."

However, the type of scam depends on the blockchain’s structure and user base. Stay cautious, double-check projects, and always DYOR before investing.
