Participants are required to return the ALGO token to the designated wallet by August 9th, and the clearing refund will be returned on August 23.

Affected by this news, ALGO tokens surged 60% in the short term.

In this regard , Dovey Wan commented:

For those who (participate) in the first auction, if you give up 90% of the refund right a year later, Algorand can now offer an 85% refund within three weeks and cancel the planned auction.

If the distribution becomes so dramatic and unreliable, I don't have much confidence in all other aspects, let alone "code is the law."
