1/ At $50m The @CashioApp exploit was the 2nd largest heist on @solana & 13th largest hack overall. Despite this its been radio silence for hours.

@Saber_HQ have been working on it but have not been contacted by the exploiter.

Can anyone help? What we know & some thoughts🧵👇 2/ After the exploiter minted 2billion CASH they drained the CASH deposits of USDT & USDC ($26m) & swapped their remaining CASH tokens for ($25m) through @Saber_HQ crashing CASH's price to 0.

They now had~$50m of USDC/USDT/UST, $21m of which was swapped to ETH & wormholed to ETH

1/ Yesterday it emerged that the @CashioApp hackers wallet being funded by "sWZs" which was the same address that funded the Balloonsville NFT rugger.

This is @sideshiftai's no-dox wormhole Dex, meaning they are probably unrelated...
@Saber_HQ @simplyianm @SBF_FTX @aeyakovenko Image 2/ .. & they both just used that exchange to fund their activities

It's been 24 hours later and not much has emerged or been announced. There are many anxious investors in the Cashio, Saber & Sunny discords.

In the last hour 100+ @DegenTrashPanda have been swept, raising the floor from 2.6◎ to 3◎. As you know, DTP is the companion Degeniverse project to @DegenApeAcademy.

Some observations & upcoming catalysts around the DTP game & $RAIN token 🦝💦🧵👇 #solana #solananfts #nfts Image Over the last hour, wallet 8igPE has picked up over 100 Degen Trash Pandas. This is a different individual to the ones that bought 26 Degen Apes overnight.

A little bit of action this evening on the @DegenApeAcademy front with 26 apes being sold in quick succession over the last 3 hours to GMos & 10 individual buyers, bringing the floor to 58SOL🧵👇 #solana #solananfts #nfts #degenape Image The ape buying was kicked off by wallet GMos 3 hours ago - with it buying 16 apes and transferring them to 2T5k, an account that holds $1.08m worth of @genopets GENE tokens & 24 @Gyris_official NFTs.

Solanart was one of the first major NFT exchanges on #Solana. It has a record of behavior that does not live up to community standards.

We should demand better if we are serious about improving Solana and the onboarding of the next wave of users.🧵👇 #nft #solanacommunity Image Recently many have alleged that Solanart engage in shady, neglectful & cash grabbing behavior. I first covered this topic 3 months ago.

With many new entrants to Solana, not everyone was aware of this.

Interestingly, new stories have come to light.

The @DegenTrashPanda #NFT project is using some of the latest #Solana #blockchain innovations in its game such as the Entangler & Raindrops protocol

Here's what you need to know about the X'mas❤️mini-game + the innovations this project is pioneering🧵👇#nftcommunity People who minted DTPs before the pause would have noticed ❤️ traits with a # from 1 to 6 applied to their panda.

This was part of a minigame @pit_the_panda has created for X'mas. In typical Pit / Joker style, he kept us guessing on its objective.

Developing the ability to spot cash grab projects is more important than ever with the increasing # of projects on @Solana being launched every day.

I wrote this thread about @SolSoulsNFT as a case study in October. An update: 🧵👇
#nft #nftcommunity #eth - Floor price crashed from 1 SOL to 0.09 SOL
- They released Halloween items but not much else
- Some community tried to support them but it has been a slow bleed
- Same team has launched @nova_launch to help ppl launch NFTs for a sizeable fee. Beware.

A few lucky @Degentrashpanda minters received an airdrop panda 3 days ago. These were 30 tokens received from the botter that we wanted to get back into community hands.

In arranging this we had to go through a fair bit of data, so some stats for you🧵👇#solana #nft - There were 14,173 tokens minted by 5504 wallets before the pause
- This means ~2.6 pandas per wallet minted
- The 8 known bot wallets minted 240 tokens (1.6% of supply)
- He returned 30 tokens (mostly common/uncommons with rare traits, no ultra rares which he kept to sell)

The @DegenTrashPanda mint was paused to address vulnerabilities in the Candy Machine NFT deployment protocol

CMv2 was rewritten in a frenzy of coding by @redacted_j and just 2 weeks later, the mint is now reopened

Some background on CMv2 & why you should be excited for DTP🧵👇 Image The DTP mint kicked off late November. Shortly after it was discovered that many super rare & mythic tokens were being sniped by a botter. The community investigated, went through the details & took action.

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.

@NFTjordy @ApeddaddyRick @Funksonait @DegenAbeTrades @SuckMyLiqCrypto. Thank You.

Our friend with the wallet "BEIJ" is back again.

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:

The 1000◎ @DegenTrashPanda was bought by wallet BeiJ, funded by 6ZRC.

6ZRC is not a "normal wallet" because it is the FTX exchange: the buyer sent funds from FTX.

In fact, this very 6ZRC wallet was the one which funded the SMB Skellie King purchase👀👇

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.🧵👇 Before we begin, this thread is part of a collab with @sinoglobalcap's @sallywang666 & @cryptoflowpost's summary of @solanaconf.

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.

A short story about the this cute little Saint Monkey Baby honorary jpeg.

A week ago I spent some time in @MonkeDAO discussing derivatives for a thread.

One of the monkes I spoke to engaged me in DMs to discuss the topic which still divides communities to this day. 🧵👇 Image Little did I know that he was putting together his own homage Monkey Baby Business @SolanaMBB which donated all proceeds to the DAO.

I only found out it was him behind the drop much later, after the project had launched.

One of the more recent features to hit NFTs has been revenue-sharing mechanisms.

“You mean I can be a collector of fine jpeg art that pays me money for holding it? Sign me up!”

Not so fast buddy, here's why. 🧵👇 #NFTs #SEC #Royalties #Ethereum #Solana #SolanaNFT 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.

Today this account quietly made it past 5,000 followers! It's a tiny milestone but one that I'm very grateful for, thank you all!🙏

To celebrate I wanted to reflect on this journey and how far we've all come in the NFT space.

For today, a brief history of Solana NFTs.🧵👇 Image In April I began hearing about Eth NFTs. I was skeptical at the time (especially given how high prices had run) so I decided to look for alternatives on Solana

The first NFT I minted was a @SolariansNFT for the reasonable price of 5◎

I was so excited... then the market crashed

@MilstGuga & I recently wrote a thread documenting what NFT marketplace @SolanArtNFT has made ($15m) & its listing habits.

Join us (@MattSolana @hoaktrades @secretpanda007) as we go down the rabbit hole of some of Solanart's accounts. After all, "blockchain is proof"🧵👇 Before we begin a shout-out to @MattSolana @hoaktrades @secretpanda007 & @Milstguga. Their analysis and digging helped me put this together.

There is a maze of transactions & linked accounts and we only scratch the surface here, so we could always use the help of more people.
