Wozniak’s Crypto Gamble: A Quick Dive into a Failed Token

Steve “Woz” Wozniak, the well‑known co‑founder of Apple, once joined a venture called Efforce that promised to change how people invest in energy‑saving projects. The idea was simple: register a project, sell tokens to the public, and give holders energy credits that would pay off as efficiency improved. Efforce used Wozniak’s name and the ticker WOZX to boost credibility, and the token jumped above $3 before crashing to about a tenth of a cent. The company claimed that the token was a way for businesses to raise money and that it would support profitable, efficient companies. However, the description sounded a lot like a security, so Efforce warned that U. S. residents could not buy its tokens.

Efforce’s social media posts are sparse and contradictory. A July update claimed a 10. 75 % return from a Vietnam energy‑efficiency pool, but the website shows no details and other pools have raised nothing. The last blockchain transaction from the project’s address was a year and a half ago, and its smart‑contract code hasn’t been updated since June 2024. Wozniak’s own mentions of the project stopped in 2021, and there have been no recent LinkedIn or Medium posts. All signs point to a venture that never delivered on its promises, leaving a shadow over Wozniak’s legacy.
