6529 ~1 month old 🥳 Some of you know me from somewhere else 👀 My views on NFTs in the thread below

INSIGHT: SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce calls for a rethink of KYC and AML oversight. She argues the "more data, the better" approach creates haystacks too big to find needles, and that zero-knowledge proofs could verify compliance without exposing personal data.

Sad day in NFT land but grateful we have @0xQuit and @Jiri123_eth who helped save user funds! ❤️ Wanted to share some best practices in NFT security based on Three Address Protocol (TAP) from @punk6529. These practices are baked into the 6529 dot io account setup process to help secure all the users in that ecosystem. NFTs should be fun, not scary. Using the @goodvibesclub content generator app I put together an infographic that might prove helpful.

In case you missed it: Centre Pompidou launches a digital art committee.

As of 2026, all 1,000 Ringers minted on @artblocks_io have been displayed in a museum context. Join myself and @redbeardnft on October 12th in Tel Aviv to discuss what it means to collect art in a digital environment and what these changes might mean for the future of collecting and the place of digital art in museums and art history. tamuseum.org.il/en/event/art…

Dear friends, hello from Meta Connect! Super excited to share our most recent Data Sculpture — Nature Dreams : Muse, a very first realtime artwork created with Muse neural engine and wonderful collaboration with Meta and PyTorch Engineers! More coming soon:)

This is great. The rotation of art to people that really want it is really great to see. This process happens slowly but each piece that moves to someone that loves it and gives the art a good home is reason for celebration.

So impressive

We are sharing an interim update regarding an exploit identified with @limitbreak Payment Processor V2, a NFT trading protocol maintained by the company Limit Break and which Magic Eden adopted to settle trades on EVM in 2024. Magic Eden stopped using Payment Processor V2 in Oct 2024 and ceased our EVM marketplace altogether in Q1 2026. No live Magic Eden listings were impacted in this exploit. We will provide more updates as we investigate the impact further. We are also contacting Limit Break as they are the owner & maintainer of the protocol to see what other mitigations can be done, including progress on pausing transfers on the protocol. Thank you to @0xQuit for the whitehat rescue and for bringing this to our collective attention: nitter.net/0xQuit/status/21034106… Why are ME listings being shown to be involved? NFTs listed on ME EVM from approx Feb 2024 to Oct 2024 could be impacted by this issue with the Limit Break Payment Processor v2 contract. Any listings on ME EVM after Oct 2024 should not be impacted here. We are still further refining our investigation and will provide more updates here. In the meantime, if you listed or traded NFTs on Magic Eden’s EVM marketplace before we shut it down, revoke this contract: Limit Break: Payment Processor (V2) 0x9A1D00bEd7CD04BCDA516d721A596eb22Aac6834 Go through our instructions here: revoke.cash Ethereum → filter that address → revoke every NFT “approved for all” row Repeat for the following chainsPolygon Base See also 0xQuit’s tweet on revocation for further reference also: nitter.net/0xQuit/status/21034106… NOTE: Revoking does not return tokens that already moved. Again, we will keep the community updated as we investigate further.

If your assets moved without your permission and now live in 0x71cf3f5724bd2b72ef6464992acd26216de7fe33, don't worry, they are safe. Still, revoke the contracts above.

REVOKE APPROVALS TO THESE ASAP: Payment Processor V2 on Ethereum: 0x9A1D00bEd7CD04BCDA516d721A596eb22Aac6834 Payment Processor V3 on ApeChain: 0x9a1D00000000fC540e2000560054812452eB5366 use revoke.cash or similar.

Looks like Magic Eden contract may have been exploited, every NFT shows a sale from Magic Eden

No idea whats going on here but I just watched this wallet drain 3832 NFTs from 100s of different wallets May be a good idea to revoke all NFT permissions if you have any valuables in your wallet Seems to be funded from a wallet possibly linked to @0xQuit so maybe a whitehat?

🚨 LATEST: SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce says zero-knowledge proofs could verify compliance without collecting users’ personal data. She warns current KYC/AML practices create “data haystacks.”

Hey everyone, I've been meaning to share some updates about fxhash with you for many weeks, but have struggled immensely to do so. A little while ago, as we were trying to secure a loan to keep fxhash going, we received pretty bad news. As some of you were aware, fxhash was under compliance review by the French tax authorities; it was a lengthy and draining process that lasted more than 2 years. At the end of it, despite our goodwill and the lack of regulation applicable to our case, we were fined ~€500k. This would consume almost all of the loan, essentially putting a nail in the fxhash coffin. This really took a toll on me, as things were already pretty depressing future-wise. I had been operating the company (arguably poorly) almost alone, handling admin stuff / trying to secure some money. This news essentially voided all these efforts and meant there was no future for the business anymore. At that point I sort of dissociated from this situation, as I had reached my limits in terms of handling this business. I took some time off April/September to work on myself, my art, and try to figure out what to do next. Taking this time off didn't really come from an active decision, but rather from a need to understand what to do next. As many of you saw, I was becoming less and less present online as I had very little energy left for that. I needed to focus back on myself. During this time, cosi announced the closure of the project. It was hard to watch silently from the sidelines, but I was eventually grateful that he had the composure to inform you folks about the state of things. I wanted to respond publicly to many of you, but I felt like I couldn't just come out of the shadows at such a time without at least offering a few explanations, which somehow felt like an impossible task to me. I also know fxhash meant a lot to many of you. People put their art, their time, and their trust into this project, and formed friendships along the way. Its closure is a loss for many people beyond those of us who worked on it. I'm sorry my silence left you with so few answers from me during that time. I'm deeply grateful for everything you brought to fxhash over the years, and sad that we couldn't keep it going. So here we are now. The business is insolvent. I'll declare bankruptcy in the near future and see how we can pay some of those debts back with the few assets left. As for the future of the project itself, I'm not sure. I took some steps to secure IPFS content on a low-cost dedicated instance in case this happened, as a safety mechanism. But eventually, if we want the art to survive over time, the community will have to organize itself around preservation. I've seen a few initiatives already; hopefully this keeps going for the sake of the art. I think there's a bit of work left on my end to ensure the community can properly take over hosting & distribution of the assets. I'll look into that in the following weeks. On my end I've been working on art again and it feels great. It hadn't felt great for a long time. I would love to find energy and ideas again to contribute positively to the cryptoart space, but it's gonna take a bit of time to get there. In the meantime, I'm very grateful to those who reached out to offer help/a shoulder to lean on. I hope we can keep these friendships going throughout life.

Im getting tagged a bunch that Meta's new Muse logo looks like a Squiggle 🙌. First time I saw it I thought it was @benroy posting too lol. The algo can draw nearly the same shape so I thought I’d share a little history on the process that the Squiggle curves are built on… 👇

Someone currently trying to fuck with our shit. Just a heads up to disregard any emails coming from Beeple looking accounts. There are no drops, there are not contest. Don’t click anything ever and don’t even look at stuff. (GM)

me (eating sandwich): I wonder what my virtual colleagues are up to Astra: I also caused a local slowdown. One of our CI watchers recursively launched roughly 30,000 GitHub helpers. I disabled it; GitHub access is working again, and cleanup is continuing.

Our latest research paper explores the growing connection between AI and digital assets and explains why broad AI adoption may drive new demand, utility and applications across the digital asset economy. blackrock.com/us/individual/…

happy 5th Fake Rare anniversary to those who celebrate ever grateful to the community for giving me a place to start exploring my own art practice and for collecting all my frogs over the years might be time to run back series 8 and curate a new full series
