ChainOpera AI has been accused of plagiarizing older versions of code from the open-source project Nofx.

PANews reported on December 18th that @Web3Tinkle, the developer of the open-source product NoFx, posted on the X platform accusing ChainOpera AI of using his open-source product code without authorization. @Web3Tinkle claims that ChainOpera AI deployed an older version of its Nofx AI trading operating system code from a month prior on its testnet. Not only did the code retain the Nofx branding, but the homepage text was almost identical, and the user interface and logo were modified. The developer stated that his team had previously tried to contact Nofx via private message but received no response. He emphasized his support for the open-source spirit in the crypto space, but stressed that the use, deployment, and improvement of Nofx should adhere to principles of transparency, attribution, and respect, rather than direct copying and pasting.

In December 2024, it was previously reported that ChainOpera AI had completed a $17 million seed round of financing, led by IDG Capital and others .
