Tea Protocol has faced persistent criticism over repeated TGE delays spanning multiple years, missed launch dates from Q4 2024 through Q1 2026, and a significant token price crash of over 80% within minutes of trading. Community concerns center on stalled testnet progress since 2023, questionable metrics (11 million accounts claimed with suspected bot activity), failed anti-gaming mechanics that flooded the testnet with spam, and allegations of unfair treatment toward ICO investors whose token allocations were delayed post-listing. The project is widely viewed as having abandoned its open-source developer mission in favor of continuous fundraising rounds.
