IZC - IZ COIN IZC is a BEP-20 token based on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) blockchain platform. However, after a careful and thorough risk consideration of the market at the time, he refunded the whole amount immediately back to its owners, yet IZC - IZ Coin was issued free of charge to those who ordered IZC - IZ Coin. We are pleased to announce that IZC - IZ Coin is currently under internal development. Note: At that time, in November 2021, the value of the Mongolian token, which was raised by collecting money from the public, fell 5-30 times from its initial market rate.[20]
Meborny LLC has started to transition to a Web 3.0 company since early 2022. Inspired by the previous project "IZC - IZ Coin", "The Mefoxy Club" project was created to introduce Mongolian people to uniquely identifiable assets, hence Mefoxy NFT Collectibles.

Crypto investigation
Ireedui Gantogtokh, an IT specialist and social activist, has made headlines in Mongolia with his investigation into cryptocurrency scams. In late 2021, it was revealed that Mongolian crypto tokens had scammed the public out of about $200 million through local crypto exchanges. These tokens were not following their whitepaper and tokenomics, with some even supplying additional tokens not mentioned in their initial offerings, leading to hidden profits for those involved in the scams.[24]
Ireedui Gantogtokh was quick to take action and expose the scams, and his efforts did not go unnoticed. His investigation gained the attention of Mongolian law enforcement and police, leading to the arrest of some of the crypto scammers in February 2021.[25][26]

However, despite the success of his own project, Ireedui Gantogtokh put it on pause, as he believes that many Mongolian people are not yet ready for the crypto industry. He wants to ensure that people are protected from potential scams and risks associated with cryptocurrency, and will only continue his project when he feels that the public is more informed and ready to participate safely.[27]
Overall, Ireedui Gantogtokh's investigation into crypto scams and his commitment to educating and protecting the public from risks associated with cryptocurrency have solidified his status as a respected social influencer in Mongolia. His work has made a positive impact on the country's efforts to combat corruption and fraudulent practices in the crypto industry.
Social Activism
Ireedui Gantogtokh is a Mongolian social activist who has played a pivotal role in exposing corruption and unethical practices by government officials. Through his tireless investigations, Gantogtokh has revealed the misuse of public funds by high-ranking government officials, including the Prime Minister of Mongolia, Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai,[28] and Sumiyabazar Dolsuren, the Mayor of Ulaanbaatar City.[29]
Gantogtokh's investigations have also uncovered evidence of theft of public resources by the Mongolian government. In particular, he has revealed that the government has stolen almost 15 billion dollars in coal revenue over the past decade.[30][31]
Gantogtokh's activism gained widespread support, culminating in a massive protest in Sukhbaatar Square in December 2022, with almost 20,000 people gathering to demand accountability from the government. During the protest, Gantogtokh went on a hunger strike to draw attention to the issue. Despite an offer from Mongolian Deputy Minister of Justice, Nyambaatar Khishgee, to end his hunger strike, Gantogtokh declined, believing that the government needed to take stronger action to address corruption and ensure justice for the Mongolian people.[32][33]
Gantogtokh's hunger strike and activism received significant media attention, and the Mongolian government was forced to take action against corruption. As a result of Gantogtokh's efforts, the government has begun to investigate corruption allegations and has taken steps to address the theft of public resources.[34][35]
