Epic Chain Legal Notice

PUBLIC NOTICE OF LEGAL CLAIM
EPIC CASH (EPIC) DAO v. EPIC CHAIN (EPIC) DAO
Notice to All Epic Chain Token Holders, Founders, Promoters and Investors
Epic Cash (EPIC) is a decentralized privacy coin that has established significant goodwill and reputation in the cryptocurrency sector under the name “EPIC” since 2019. The EPIC brand is well-known among consumers and investors for its trading ticker “EPIC” and privacy coin technology.
In February 2025, Ethernity Chain (formerly ERN) announced its governance token holders had voted to rebrand to Epic Chain. This rebrand followed accusations by Loock Advisory in October 2024 that Ethernity Chain and YouTube influencer Mr. Beast along with several promoters had pumped Ethernity Chain reaping large profits. Mr. Beast and his group are believed to still hold significant amounts of the rebranded token which has surged in a new rounds of promotion since March 2025 under the ticker EPIC.
Epic Chain, formerly, Ethernity Chain, trading under “EPIC” is highly similar to Epic Cash’s established brand also trading as “EPIC” since 2019. This constitutes a misrepresentation to the public that Epic Chain is associated with, endorsed by, or originates from Epic Cash (EPIC). Such conduct amounts to passing off under common law, as it is likely to cause confusion among consumers and damage the goodwill of Epic Cash.
The common law tort of passing off provides protection from others misrepresenting their goods or services as those of another, or suggesting a false association or endorsement. Epic Cash has expended substantial resources since 2019 building significant reputation and goodwill in the EPIC privacy coin project and brand including multiple websites, social media, wallets, L1 development, EPIC based business ventures, and crypto exchange listings. The deliberate use of the name EPIC is likely to mislead and has misled the public into believing there is a connection between Epic Chain and Epic Cash. As a result Epic Cash trading volume, price, and ticker information has been distorted resulting in disorderly trading and substantial loss in value and reputation to Epic Cash in direct proportion to Epic Chains’ ongoing promotional activities. This misrepresentation has caused and is causing damage Epic Cash’s reputation and value and has affected third party wallets and apps which can no longer distinguish between EPIC CASH “EPIC” and EPIC CHAIN “EPIC”. Investors desiring to purchase Epic Cash are being siphoned off by Epic Chain. As a result EPIC CASH has lost over half its market capitalization since the EPIC CHAIN rebrand.
Epic Cash demands that Epic Chain cease and desist from using the ticker EPIC in connection with its services, website, social media, exchange listings and all promotional materials and enter into an agreement to compensate Epic Cash coin investors for their losses.
Both Epic Cash and Epic Chain are DAOs, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations. Epic Cash bring this legal claim through its trusts set up to handle development and legal matters. Ethernity Chain Ltd. (Cayman Islands) is the legal/corporate entity behind both the former Ethernity Chain (ERN) and the current Epic Chain DAO (EPIC). Legal notices to the Ethernity Chain Ltd. address in the Cayman islands however proved undeliverable. Court rulings and cases in California and New York have indicated that DAOs may be treated as unincorporated associations and when token holders such as Mr. Beast or his proxies can be identified, they may held liable as general partners.
