# Why Is team anonymous?

In our view, the most important features of cryptocurrency are anonymity, privacy, freedom to participate and decentralization. The recent past has shown us that there have been a number of successful projects which have been disrupted by often questionable regulation: Ripple Labs (XRP), staking (Kraken) and even Paxos (BUSD) are clear examples. With an anonymous team it is much harder and often impossible to centralize or regulate a project. 

To ensure the peace of mind of our investors, we decided to **burn** liquidity, which makes ATPAD **permanently** tradeable and un**RUG**gable.
