my journey from web2 to web3. i’ve been following this space for a long time. i previously worked at 2 yc gaming startups as a product manager, building mainly in mobile games. i spent hundreds of hours analyzing what made players stick vs. what made them churn and how you can make a truly enjoyable and addicting game. humans spend years building characters, collecting items and creating entire communities. i kept thinking about how much more interesting those worlds could become if players owned what they collected, could trade freely and could build on top of what already existed while mixing the in-game economies with the real world. a game so good and so popular that it’s in game currency can be traded for real world goods. forms of that are already taking place, selling a rare skin or a high level account for cash and then exchanging that cash for goods irl is not new, but it doesn’t have to be this way. if a game is so good that its in-game economy holds real value then the players who’ve earned said currency deserve real world rewards. then there’s the beauty of pseudonymity. the freedom to choose how you present yourself, build a reputation through your work and decide how much of your offline life you share. i think that matters. people should have the space to reinvent themselves and earn trust through what they contribute. after following the space for so long, i also decided to become a collector. i joined @boredapeyc by buying a mutant, collected pieces of nft history from @crypto_skulls and @mooncatrescue, and ofc my favourites, @argonauts9999. having creators and leaders like @lphacentaurikid and @mfigge welcome me into the community, alongside all the argos and apes who’ve made me feel at home, has meant a lot. i have never seen communities like these. there’s something pretty special about getting to know the people behind the pfps you’ve been seeing on your timeline for so long. excited to keep collecting, getting to know you all and building my own part of this.

just got this vibe by @amber_vittoria

tldr: thousands of nfts were moved in a whitehat rescue. revoke approvals to payment processor v2 on ethereum and v3 on apechain now, even if you stopped using those marketplaces. @0xquit says assets in the identified rescue wallet are safe and will be returned once no longer at risk. disconnecting your wallet does not revoke approvals. 3,832 nfts were initially reported moving out of hundreds of wallets this morning. @cirrusnft flagged the activity, and quit confirmed it was a whitehat rescue: the assets in the identified wallet are being held for return once they are no longer at risk. the immediate warning concerns two @limitbreak contracts: payment processor v2 on ethereum and payment processor v3 on apechain. here’s how an nft can leave your wallet without you signing a new transaction. when you trade through a marketplace, you typically grant a contract permission to transfer your nfts. that approval is separate from the listing you sign. a collection-wide approval can cover every nft you own in that collection, and it remains active until revoked. the marketplace’s trading contract is supposed to enforce the conditions of a legitimate sale. if that contract has an exploitable weakness, its existing transfer permissions can become a route into approved assets. no fresh wallet confirmation is necessarily required. the warning points to those existing approvals as the exposure here; the precise code-level failure still needs a verified technical postmortem. (revoke.cash) the marketplace connections matter: @magiceden’s former ethereum marketplace used payment processor, and the initial transfers were showing up as magic eden sales. @mintify previously integrated payment processor v2, so users who granted approvals through that integration should check them too. @othersidemeta’s marketplace integration guide identifies the exact apechain payment processor v3 address in quit’s warning. these are documented integrations. the full impact on each marketplace is still unconfirmed. your exposure depends on which contract your wallet approved, including approvals granted through another interface or aggregator. (einpresswire.com, mintify.beehiiv.com, gist.github.com) magic eden ended support for its evm marketplaces on march 9. closing a website or removing its listings does not automatically remove permissions recorded onchain. you can stop using a marketplace and still have approvals sitting there months later. (help.magiceden.io, revoke.cash) what to do now: open @revokecash at revoke.cash, check each wallet, and revoke approvals to the following contracts on the corresponding network: ethereum payment processor v2: 0x9a1d00bed7cd04bcda516d721a596eb22aac6834 apechain payment processor v3: 0x9a1d00000000fc540e2000560054812452eb5366 check all matching approvals, including nft permissions and any token allowances. make sure the revocation transactions confirm, and avoid granting those contracts fresh approvals while the incident remains unresolved. disconnecting your wallet from a website does not revoke onchain approvals. a hardware wallet also does not protect against permissions you already granted: the contract can use them without accessing your private keys. (revoke.cash) if your assets moved to: 0x71cf3f5724bd2b72ef6464992acd26216de7fe33 quit says they are safe and will be returned once they are no longer at risk. still revoke. returning an nft to a wallet with the same dangerous collection approval could expose it again. follow his verified updates for the return process, and ignore unsolicited “recovery” dms or claim links. for the community, this exposes a serious problem with permissions that can outlive the products we granted them to. we need a public postmortem, clear recovery instructions, better approval controls, and marketplace shutdown procedures that explicitly address outstanding permissions.

missed the mint so I just got an @wearejpegfrens off secondary. great work @Richi0118

top tier lore

good fucking morning to all apes and argos.

gm to all servants of the muse. and the rest.

most important read on your timeline.

This has really great potential as a generalist platform.

I’ve been a bit disappointed with what start up teams have been doing in the NFT space lately. Basically only 1/100 are genuinely good projects and the other 99 is just AI slop. You need to pay attention to the details or you are going to keep minting $10 NFTs that go absolutely nowhere and the team leaves to start the next project just days later.

gm mutants

I don’t think he’s paying it back.

NFTs are inevitable

something is brewing. p2e is so back.

some people have been texting me saying this is my alt. it’s not. please don’t investigate this further.

this is me this is my ape

I am a simple man, I see @argonauts9999 or @BoredApeYC PFP and I follow them.
