-> made half a mill at 18 in 2021 had no idea what i was doing nearly dropped out of college for it
-> 2022 bear destroyed me, down 80% thought i'd wasted the opportunity of a lifetime and scared because i thought i had no skills and it was pure luck
-> stuck around because nothing else to do, uni so boring
-> 2023 hits and start hitting 100x after 100x on eth onchain
-> started posting, made frens with some of the biggest influencers and projects in the space
-> made enough to be financially free by 2024
-> joined @sigmatrading, played a (tiny) part in their explosive growth to one of the most popular trading bots that all my frens use and love
-> now in the process of making sure everyone close to me never has to work again
I am forever thankful for this space, it is a pure meritocracy, if you are good and grind you will for sure be rewarded.
thank you to everyone who has helped me get to the place i am in now, while everyone on twitter cries and moans all the time some of the kindest and helpful people I have ever met has been in this space.
if you are reading this and thinking wen me, just lock in and add value and eventually you will be blessed, nowhere else will you experience such opportunities 🫡
We tested 14 trades on Sigma against our best-known competitor.
Every single trade using the competitor wasted up to 40% more gas. Over a year, this could cost you 6-7 figures in PnL.
Using poorly built tech is destroying your port.
Read our full investigation here:
This is pretty wild...
Last month I spent $5,000 on gas on all my transactions using @SigmaTrading
Had I been using a competitor bot then that figure would easily be $7000+, These numbers add up...
Stop rinsing yourself and use the right tools to print😴
Your choice of trading bot matters more than you think...
small technical details can cause huge differences in your PnL long term - and even though it's all visible on etherscan/basescan, most people never pay attention to the costs
Everyone asking the best way to trade on base now
I actively trench in @GGhunts sharing information and finding new plays

Hey bro, sorry this happened to you.
My quick assessment of what happened. The exploit looks like a private key leak rather than related to any malicious transactions, as the attacker has full control over signing operations across multiple chains: Ethereum, Base and BSC. It looks like the drain was done manually, as the bulk of the exploit occurred over the course of around 30 mins from 00:37 to 00:56 UTC.
My suspicion is that the hacker gained access to your private key through telegram - as they made a transaction through Sigma (0xb81f9f0a1abb2330763d7b9498185404277955a18b3f766a31582c83ba70047e on Base)
This is likely not a problem with the Sigma trading bot, but a phishing attack through telegram - either you used a malicious Captcha bot (most likely guess). Or you were SIM swapped and someone has access to your telegram (less likely IMO).
I would consider this wallet fully compromised and would refrain from using it again.
Looks like the bulk of the exploit took $172k across mainly Base ($125k in $POD) tokens, BSC ($21k in $FHE) and Ethereum ($ETH). The attacker drained the ETH on mainnet and came back by funding dust into your Eth wallet to take the remaining $SAT1 tokens.
Sadly these funds are unrecoverable as they are now in his own EOA 0xF7cFFC27732a5C9c4E2D592F3E33435F8dDb019A predominantly on Base.
SECURITY REMINDER
Exporting wallets into third-party apps, browser extensions, websites, cloud backups, and unsecured devices continues to be one of the biggest avoidable security risks in crypto.
Over the past several days, two traders with large audiences publicly reported wallet drains connected to wallets previously exported out of Sigma.
Every compromised wallet identified so far had been exported outside of Sigma prior to being drained - in several cases multiple times and long before the actual compromise occurred.
Sigma itself continues to operate normally.
We are working directly with @0xUnihax0r to identify the exact external attack vector responsible for the affected wallets.
Sigma was built to function as a secure closed environment. That environment has maintained a clean security record for more than 5 years.
If a wallet is taken outside of Sigma, it is also taken outside of Sigma’s security perimeter. That distinction should be obvious.
People are free to speculate. We will continue focusing on verified facts.
⚡️Sigma's token data refresh is now fastest on the market⚡️
Our market cap and PnL on ETH refreshes 6 seconds faster than certain competitors, and 3 seconds faster than DEXScreener.
Using any other bot means competing with Sigma users who are always half a block ahead of you.
