A change in Trove token sale rules caused a Polymarket trader to lose over $73,000

According to Odaily, The Poly Nerd monitoring shows that Trove updated its contract five minutes before the end of the token sale, extending the deposit deadline to January 20. Subsequently, Polymarket's order book saw massive buy orders ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 shares from wallets related to the project. Trove first announced on X that the sale would be extended by 5 days, causing the odds in the high fundraising range to soar. Later, they posted again to say the extension was canceled and the original plan would be maintained, resulting in many traders being trapped. One trader invested $89,000 near the close in an attempt to earn a $200 profit and is now facing a loss of over $73,000.
