Diamante (DIAM) Review: Why I Think Its Price Is $0

If you are searching for Diamante, here is my answer up front: I think Diamante is going to zero. I do not see a realistic path to a price above zero, and I would stay away from it. My reasons are a launch that looks copied, a project with no visible team, and what I believe is bot activity built to make it look bigger than it is.

My view did not start as a price call. In October 2024 I spent about ten minutes researching the launch and came away with a one-star review. In my October 2024 review I argued that the website was built to distract, that the chain leaned on Amazon Web Services for heavy computation, that the about page listed no team at all, and that the airdrop asked you to connect your wallet. Looking back, that was the same pattern I keep running into with new launches.

Then, in June 2026, I came back to it, and my post on why I believe the realistic price is $0 explains why my view got harder, not softer. After my critical video, thousands of bots flooded my channel with dislikes and almost no watch time, even though my critical videos usually average around 90% likes. I cannot prove who sent them, and I am not claiming to know. I do see it as part of a pattern: paid promotion, bots, and a launch that is hard to verify.

The numbers I pointed to were these. Shortly after launch the project had a fully diluted valuation of about $100 million and 587,000 followers, which I found hard to square with a chain that had only just started. Its big launch announcement had about 46,000 views, and I measured its reach at under 10 percent of its follower count, far below the 30 to 40 percent my own posts average. When I opened the Diamante Explorer, I saw an operation count of one and what I described as empty blocks. The average transaction time I read was 5.9 seconds, which is not what I would call next generation.

Where my view has stayed the same is the technology and the team. The "next-gen hybrid blockchain" language does not match what I could see, and the payments app I found in the ecosystem is one more product the world already has plenty of, from PayPal to Venmo to Coinbase. Set against the Internet Computer, which I consider the best technology in crypto, Diamante looks like a copy. The infinity symbol in its branding is, to me, a deliberate attempt to borrow attention from people who already know ICP.

What the posts add up to is a project that asks for money and wallet connections, shows no team you can check, and leans on promotion more than on working software. Each of those on its own is a warning. Together they are the reason I call it a zero. If you want the steps I use to check a project like this before you put in a dollar, I lay them out in How to Research a Crypto Before You Buy It.

Why I Believe Diamante's Realistic Crypto Price Is $0

From my video published June 17, 2026.

Diamante is another crypto coin that, in my opinion, is going to zero. If you are searching for it or trying to learn about it, I can summarize my view in one breath: this is an absolute waste of time, one of the worst cheating cryptocurrencies I have seen. I am going to explain that here with you, because I am tired of watching people get ripped off by frauds and liars. In my experience, somebody involved with the Diamante project is massively defrauding and massively lying. And this is a project Altcoin Daily is promoting.

Let me walk you through what happened. I did a video about Diamante before, saying it is clearly not the greatest crypto blockchain launch. Then somebody involved with Diamante came through and pushed thousands of bots onto my channel. These bots generally arrive externally, through something like WhatsApp. They hardly watch any time on the video at all. They come through and leave a whole bunch of dislikes, even though my channel averages 90% likes, even on my negative, critical videos. On this one, the bots just absolutely flooded in.

So I ask you: would you want to invest in a project that is that blatantly dishonest, one that cannot handle a critical video without employing an army of bots to come through and try to sabotage it? And remember, this is a crypto that already has a $100 million fully diluted valuation, even though it just launched. This is a crypto with 587,000 followers. That is as many as DFINITY has, the team behind what I believe is the best technology in all of crypto. It is more than 58 times as many followers as I have. And to me this is blatant cheating with bots.

The crypto cheating playbook

This follows the crypto cheating playbook to a T. You pay influencers who do not care too much about the quality of the projects they promote. You give them money. You use bots to make people think your project has real traction. And you can start to see through the fraud if you do even a little bit of research.

Look at this recent post: "Due to the overwhelming demand and success of the Diamante chain launch, we've received hundreds of thousands of users on our chain." Probably 99% of them are bots, if anything else I am seeing is any indication. The post continues: "As a result, we had to implement temporary restrictions to maintain security." This is horrible. And an announcement that big only has 46,000 views, which to me is even clearer evidence that you are just cheating with bots. I have posts that get that many views on 10,000 followers. My posts on average get something like 30 to 40% reach compared to how many followers I have. This one is getting less than 10% reach, which to me is blatant cheating.

They say, "We're building for the long term." I do not believe it. When you are using bots, that is not a long-term approach. When you are lying and cheating and stealing, that is not a long-term approach. That is short-term, quick money: make as much as I can as fast as I can, and when everybody finds out, we will just exit, it is fine. That is what I read in this.

Nothing next-generation here

You also have to have a bridge to reality. This is a brand-new launch. Meanwhile you have things like Internet Computer that have been out three and a half years and are so advanced they make this look absolutely irrelevant, like copied, useless technology. Is there any transparency on the team? Not on the website. One or two guys did put their faces on Altcoin Daily's video, and I imagine they are probably using bots to push those videos as well.

When you actually look at the website, I do not see anything impressive. "An ecosystem for a true digital economy." When you go to the ecosystem, they built some kind of payments app. Is that really what we need today, when we already have PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Coinbase, and all these other payments apps? Wow, you built a payment app. That is so amazing. You are really changing the world.

They call this a next-gen hybrid blockchain ecosystem. In my view that is a lie. It is not next gen. Compare this to Internet Computer Protocol and this looks like a horse while Internet Computer is a UFO. This is not next generation. This will only appeal to someone who is totally ignorant and has not done their research. And if that is you, and it hurts your feelings, then you cannot handle the truth.

They have an airdrop. In my experience airdrops tend to be one of the scummiest things in crypto, where people get ripped off. You look down the page, and there is no team listed anywhere. And look, they have even managed to put the infinity symbol in there. When you have people copying you, that is often a sign of a fake, a mimic, a fraud. You have Internet Computer Protocol, what I consider the best technology in crypto, and then you have Diamante using the infinity symbol to rip people off.

Look at the blockchain itself

Then you open the Diamante Explorer to see what is actually happening on the blockchain. Operation count: one. One. Here is what is funny: I forgot to open this beforehand, because I could not even find the Explorer since it was not linked very well. And what I found just supports exactly what I was going to say. I did not even know it looked like this. It is a ghost chain, with one, empty blocks. So what are they talking about with hundreds of thousands of users on their chain? You have empty blocks right now. There is nothing happening on this. Average transaction time on this "next generation" chain is 5.9 seconds. Let us round up and call it six.

Diamante as a word is meant to suggest something sparkling and valuable. Diamante, come on. Now compare the fastest blockchains by transactions per second. ICP is number one. Look at the block time on ICP: half a second. Finality: zero seconds. It is crushing even Solana. Diamante would not even appear on this list. Go back to what I said: it is fraudulent for them to claim this is a next-gen blockchain. Their next-gen hybrid blockchain is terrible compared to ICP. It is a ghost chain.

You cannot handle the truth: this is more crypto mafia fraud. This is an absolute garbage coin. All they have done is pay people to promote it and use bots to cheat and lie and steal from people. This is disgusting. And this is exactly why they do not want a video like mine coming out. They do not want a video out there telling you the truth, that this is fraudulent, that this is a dead coin, that it is going nowhere. In my view the only reason it was created in the first place was to rip you off, to cheat you, to steal from you. I do not see that they had any goal to add real, meaningful value to the world. It looks to me like, "Let's create something with the least amount of work possible so we can steal the most amount of money from people." That is why I say this is going to zero.

Why I make these videos anyway

It sucks being the person who creates these videos. If I were saying this coin was going to 100x, they would be pushing my videos with bots. Altcoin Daily might even have me on to pump this coin. But when I am out here saying it sucks, I get attacked for it. You know what, though? I care about you. I am tired of seeing my neighbors, my friends, my community, and my fellow humans get lied to, cheated, and stolen from by crap like this. So I am willing to take the heat. I am willing to put myself out there, to make less money, to get hated on, and to get attacked by bots, so that I can help a few of you become a little less ignorant and maybe not have your money stolen.

In my experience you cannot get this kind of fundamentals with any other technology in crypto besides ICP. I will get on a call with you and go through your entire portfolio and tell you why every coin in it has problems, specifically. I freestyle rap on Twitch and make dance music. And if you want to ask me to review more altcoins, you can do that, totally for free, totally on the blockchain, without buying anything, in my free chat. That is actually how I got onto a coin like this. My community came to me and said, "Jerry, this blockchain is using the infinity symbol, it looks next generation, it is hybrid, it looks awesome, and Altcoin Daily is promoting it. What do you think?" I took 10 minutes to take it apart, because I am empathic. I can read people's lies easily. I can tell whether you are telling me the truth or lying to me. That skill worked well when I was a police officer, and it works well in crypto. If you want to dig into more of how I think about all of this, you can explore my Crypto Reviews playlist.

Diamante Is Clearly Not the Greatest Crypto Blockchain Launch

From my video published October 4, 2024.

Diamante is a one-star crypto that I took about ten minutes to research, and in that ten minutes I found something that looks blatantly fraudulent to me. If you are going to claim you are the greatest crypto blockchain of all time about to launch, that is ridiculous, and I want to walk through exactly why I came to that conclusion.

The website is the same old distraction

When you go to the Diamante website, you notice it is a pretty stereotypical website. It is focused on distracting you with moving images and just little simple ideas that are true on their own. But then where they get you is when you look into the white paper and how it actually works. It is very disappointing. It is the same old stuff that almost everybody else is doing: Amazon Web Services integration, because the blockchain itself is not capable of hardly doing any computation based on what I can see. Which means under no circumstance could this be thought of, in my view, as the greatest crypto blockchain of all time.

In fact, I would say this looks like another scam to me, where the goal is to get you to click on it and connect your wallet. Once you connect your wallet, you are participating in an airdrop, which to me makes this an absolutely horrible investment and questionable as to whether it is even trustworthy or not. I have written more about why I believe Diamante's realistic price is zero, and this is the same pattern I keep running into.

There is no team listed at all

If you look on the official website and click on the about page, there is absolutely no team listed at all. We have no idea who is working on this project. To me, that is a massive problem on its own. It is the same red flag I pointed out when I looked at the Humanity coin with a 404 team page — when nobody will put their name on the work, I do not know who I am trusting with my money.

What I can see, in the simplest terms, is that this basically looks like an Ethereum copy, or something like a Solana copy, where it has the same basic way that it is built. It is similar to Ethereum, where Ethereum can do a very tiny amount of computation on a blockchain, and then all the heavy lifting needs to be handled by something like Amazon Web Services. That is a very tiny amount of real on-chain web services. And I am tired of you all getting ripped off on these copies and fraudulent launches.

The real deal is Internet Computer Protocol

We were talking about this in open chat, where one of our members was saying, "I saw a video about the biggest blockchain ever. I was excited because I saw the infinity symbol, but they are blabbing on about the largest and most secure layer one ever." That is Internet Computer Protocol. That is the real deal. If you research Internet Computer Protocol, you can see for yourself what it is doing.

Internet Computer Protocol is the first in the world to do on-chain AI. It has a thousand-plus person years of research behind it. It is doing thousands of transactions a second, all the time. The fee burning just blew up with one single application. The network is being used a thousand times as much for doing real computation as it was when it first released. The transactions are going up, the canisters are going up. This is, by far, so much better than any other blockchain I have ever seen in my life. Any other layer one out there, I can only imagine that the reason to do a launch like Diamante's is because somebody gave you a lot of money to say it. Because from what I can see, there is absolutely nothing that leads me to think otherwise. Looking through the white paper and the website, there is nothing in there that impresses me, nothing that says this is anything more than another crypto launching to trick you. I make crypto videos like this every day, and you can watch them in my Crypto Reviews playlist.

Trustworthy projects have a real team

They make promises like, "We are here to democratize the digital economy." The Internet Computer is already doing that. It has reinvented the world computer. If this was trustworthy, it would have a team, like Internet Computer does with DFINITY, where you scroll way down the page and there is a senior software engineer way down at the bottom out of hundreds of people. I do not believe that depth of talent is possible to fake. There is a ton of real talent working on the Internet Computer. There is a ton of technical breakthroughs that have happened. And looking at Diamante, I see nothing. I see nothing except an effort to take money from you and to provide nothing in return except an airdrop of questionable value running on an Amazon web server.

This is already how almost everything besides the Internet Computer works. They use Amazon Web Services, and notice they do not even spell out the word Amazon, because most people would not know what AWS even means. But this means it is just using regular infrastructure, and the data is not on chain. If they are talking about infrastructure scalability, this is absolutely not the most advanced and it is not the most secure. There is no valid way you could claim this is the greatest blockchain crypto launch of all time, because everything else is already built this way. Besides ICP, all these other chains run the real computation off chain. The NFTs, for example, are hosted everywhere besides ICP — they are hosted off chain on things like Amazon. And we have already seen how fragile that whole system is. The airdrop-and-connect-your-wallet playbook is exactly the kind of thing I broke down in the Skyren presale and airdrop situation, and I am glad people keep bringing these to me inside the Jerry Banfield Family so we can pull them apart together.

My one-star verdict

So this is clearly a one-star review at this point. There is nothing here that is interesting. There is nothing here that is worth buying. I would not even trust this enough to connect my wallet to it for an airdrop.

Now, I saw one of you saying, "Just because Internet Computer has the best technology does not mean it will succeed." Of course. But if you are going to invest in crypto, it is, in my opinion, absolutely insane to invest outside of the best technology. Bitcoin was the best technology fifteen years ago for having peer-to-peer money. Ethereum was the best technology at one point for launching smart contracts and tokens. And ICP is the best technology for building everything fully on chain. Anything that has inferior features to what ICP has — you cannot, with any legitimacy, call that the greatest blockchain of all time, because it would have to be vastly superior to Internet Computer Protocol.

And Diamante is even using the infinity logo, which looks to me like it is intentionally trying to trick people who are into ICP into getting into it as well. So with Diamante, I would absolutely stay away. Under no circumstances would I touch this. This is my opinion and my experience from researching it, not financial advice — but I found this off of open chat, and I am disgusted seeing how so many of you are getting tricked and losing your money. I am here to help you every day to try and avoid that outcome.
