$KARATE 8,641,055 to 1st _ 5,199,580 to 2nd _ 3,273,670 to 5th for last event go to ETH addresses that go back to token unlocks of 1 account with 3 BILLION $KARATE when full unlocked.
Easy to follow and confirm on Etherscan. Top of $KARATE holders list is Karate Treasury and Nov 12th sent 150 million $KARATE to prize pool address. From there distributions for the amounts describe lead to accounts where a few more clicks go to same source of original tokens showing unlock distribution of 600 million $KARATE in May and 200 million in July. Unlock schedule of 20% in May and 3.33% each month after or 6.66% for 2 months makes a full unlocked holding of 3 BILLION $KARATE.
At least 17 million of the 150 million $KARATE pool going to 1 of the largest account holders could happen more when all tokens are unlocked in future. DAO community should think about doing something.
This is not only on ETH and has happened with same accounts and other account groups at other events. Here is Hedera example.
KC50 1st place GeeSP wins 10,749,445 $KARATE tokens. On season ranking list clicking on that account shows making 1 correct fight pick. Following the Hedera $KARATE treasury sending 150 million $KARATE to KC50 prize pool the reward distribution leads to account related to 4 other accounts like RoanWeaselMaeTobi that was 8th at KC50 3,154,675 $KARATE tokens. All 5 accounts have combined into one on Hedera. If full unlocked it is another 3 BILLION $KARATE token holder.
Such actions is a waste use of Prize Pool $KARATE tokens for a small group and against spirit of UpOnlyGaming for many fans. This might only get worse when $KARATE tokens are fully unlocked if leadership and community do nothing.
