Yescoin founder Zhang Chi detained amid business dispute in China

​Zhang Chi, also known as Zoroo, the founder of Yescoin — a mini-game project within the Telegram Open Network ecosystem — was detained by Shanghai police.

This detention followed a business dispute with his partner, identified as Wang Mouxin or ‘OldWang.’ The disagreement, initially a civil matter, has escalated into a criminal case, raising concerns within the Yescoin community. ​

Yescoin, operating within the TON (TON) ecosystem, tries to integrate blockchain technology with gaming, offering users a decentralized platform for mini-games. 

The project has garnered attention for its innovative approach to combining gaming with blockchain, attracting a diverse user base interested in both sectors.​

The internal dispute between Zhang Chi and his partner Wang has cast a shadow over the project’s future. 

The Yescoin team addressed the situation on their official X account, stating: “What began as a business agreement between partners has now escalated into a criminal case.” 

They expressed regret over the incident, acknowledging its potential to undermine community consensus and peace, and conveyed their sadness over the disruption caused. ​

Despite Zhang’s detention, the Yescoin team has assured users that the platform continues to operate normally. They remain committed to maintaining platform stability and upholding community trust.
