On Securing your NFTs 🔒

This week I have looked at 5 different cases of wallets being compromised and NFTs being stolen from their owners.

It breaks my heart every time this happens, but the patterns are always the same.

1/ Below are some rules to live by to stay safe

It may take a while for this to fully settle in but in my opinion (and I don’t say this lightly) @lphaCentauriKid together with @richerd may have opened a serious path toward Ethereum-native media permanence. Let me explain it as simply as I can.

There are different ways to store data on Ethereum.

The first is contract storage - the most expensive layer. It is like the front room of an archive: the object is right there, instantly accessible and ready to use.

The second is logs - which is what ACK explored. Logs were not really meant for storing media but they may be surprisingly well-suited for media files that do not need to be accessed every day.

Think of an IRL archive. Not every object is kept at the front desk. Some works are stored deeper in the archive. You may need to request them and wait for retrieval but they are still preserved, catalogued and available to anyone who knows where to ask.

That is the idea: logs are not Ethereum’s front room - they may be its deep archive. And as a collector - that is perfectly fine with me.

Yes - this will create additional infrastructural burden for Ethereum. And yes - it will most likely trigger criticism and serious debate. But Ethereum was intended to be a world computer and that comes with both excitement and cost: constant development, pressure and adjustment.

That is also the beauty of the system. Ethereum is willing to absorb new edge cases and evolve around them. Bitcoin by design and culture largely chose not to go in that direction - and I understand that choice too.

Thanks to "Original Sin" - NFT media permanence may eventually become a real standard. A new market standard could emerge for media storage that remains deeply connected to the Ethereum ecosystem - archive-like, verifiable and durable as part of Ethereum’s historical record. That is the most important thing here and it is a catalyst I’m personally very excited about.

P.S. The elegance and innovation of how the artwork is reconstructed directly in the browser from Ethereum itself is genius. Kudos to @lphaCentauriKid and @richerd for this.

Happy Anniversary Chimpers!

4 years ago today I helped @TimpersHD and @NFT1nsight launch Chimpers with @manifoldxyz

I’m happy to see the team still going strong!

[Chimpers @ChimpersHQ]

Chimpers turns 4 years old today 🐒🎂

It’s incredible seeing how far this little world has come, from a small collection of chimps to a global community and one of the most far reaching Web3 born IPs ✨

To celebrate, all Dojo Club members can now download a special anniversary wallpaper!

Plus, everyone signed up to the Dojo Club before the end of today will receive a special anniversary Chimpin, landing in the souvenir section of your profile by the end of the week 🎉

We’ll also be going live on stream shortly with giveaways including art, $CHMPSTR, alpha, and more 👀

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey, old and new.

4 years in, and we’re still just getting started 🏯💛

Not metadata.
Not a thumbnail with a pointer.
Not IPFS.
Not Arweave.
Not a hosted file.
Ethereum itself is the storage layer.

AI was suppose to make our lives easier and allow us to work less.

Turns out that be being able to do more I just end up working more.

CLAUDE: I’ve been debugging the IRK byte ordering for too long. I’d recommend we stop here for today and I come back to this fresh.

Want me to commit the current working state so you have a checkpoint?

[richerd.eth @richerd]

@jason_haugh It probably comes from prior training. LLMs have no sense of time or scale, or any intuition around time.

[richerd.eth @richerd]

Working with Claude Code:

Claude: Estimated Effort (2-3 days)
Me: Just do it all...

5 min later...

Done with all of the other features we talked about in Phase 3 - 10

@punk9059 The other one that gets me:

Claude: This feels like a good stopping point. Do you want to take a break?
