Socios is unethical. Just use their app and see for yourself.

beyondprotocol1 is down significantly from launch 4 months ago due to social engineering attack & botched unlock of 1/4 of tokens. Price is bottomed & should 10x due to mainnet & top 5 exchange listing. SOL type of growth. Solid fundamentals & long term play. DontMissOut
