With its Fair Launch, beautiful 3D art and an innovative approach the @DegenTrashPanda has been a blockbuster mint.
It has also unfortunately attracted bots & bad behaviour.
It's up to the community to investigate & set standards, so here is what we found & the action taken🧵👇
This thread was made with @DegenDAOO members, many of which took it upon themselves to do research, share info & come together to protect the community.
The @DegenTrashPanda mint launched on Nov 24th. After several delays, excited winners of fair launch tokens started swapping their tokens for trash pandas - people excitedly posted their NFTs and twitter was swarmed with Panda profile pictures.
Hot on the heels of his 1,000◎ @DegenTrashPanda purchase, he has now acquired:
- @DegenApeAcademy Ape #744 for 369◎
- Ape #9538 for 173◎
- Ape#9714 for 189◎
A total of 1,731◎ ($328k) spent on the Degeniverse in 2 days👀👇
This wallet BEIJ sent 3594◎ ($682k) from their CEX account on FTX exchange to their Solana wallet to fund their Degeniverse habit.
This does not imply its FTX, this is just what you'd see if you or I transferred SOL across from our FTX CEX account. Read on to see the purchases:
At the @solanaconf@redacted_j went through the history, present and future of @metaplex, the decentralized protocol that allows artists, brands and creators launch a self-hosted NFT storefront.
It’s basically what powers Solana NFTs today. Some history, and then the future.🧵👇
Solana Ventures announced a $100m fund to build decentralized social media protocols on #Solana in partnership with @alexisohanian's fund 776 Capital.
Alexis is the founder of @Reddit (r/wallstreetbets' home) & owner of cryptopunks & a @SolanaMBS.
This is groundbreaking...🧵👇
Before we begin the summary, this thread is part of a collab with @sinoglobalcap's @sallywang666 & @cryptoflowpost's summary of @solanaconf. They've covered the rest of Solana Conf highlights in great detail.
Before we start a big shout out to @Digitalxmisfits for his big brain collaboration on this topic, give him a follow.
Also to the @DegenDAOO and @ThugDAO. I am lucky to sit on their DAO councils which allows me to engage in some interesting discussions on NFT/DAO development.
In the last few weeks we’ve seen quite a few projects adopt this mechanism to attract buyers. On Eth @CyberKongz is one of the best known examples.
It is a collection of 1000 34x34 pixel apes with the 990 Genesis versions paying out 10 $BANANA tokens p/day to holders for 10 yrs
