Accounts that competed using AGW implementations outside the standard supported AGW experience received a full refund of gameplay gas fees but were not included in prize pool distributions.
The AGW requirement was intended to provide a consistent competitive environment for all players. Refunding fees ensures affected participants are made whole while preserving competitive integrity.
We want success in Rugpull Bakery to be determined by gameplay decisions, not by access to custom wallet implementations or technical optimizations outside the intended player experience.
🚨 @OnchainChemists devs quietly changed Trailblazer mid-season with ZERO announcement.
Yesterday the docs said:
"Can activate 1 extra boost if the bakery is already at max boosts every 12 hours"
Today it says:
"Can activate the bakery's one shared extra boost slot when the bakery is already at max boosts"
And a new "stacking" rule appeared out of nowhere:
"Shared by the bakery, not one slot per Trailblazer. Season 7 allows 1 normal active purchased boost plus 1 Trailblazer extra slot, so at most 2 active purchased boosts. A second Trailblazer cannot add another while the shared extra slot is in use"
Players built Season 7 strategies around the original mechanic. Some paid 20K cookies to pick this skill based on how it was documented at launch.
Changing core skill behavior after the season opens — without a changelog, without a tweet, without any notice — is not okay. We're talking about a competitive season with real ETH on the line.
If you're going to patch game mechanics mid-season, the bare minimum is: → a public announcement → an explanation of why → clarity on whether players who chose Trailblazer under the old rules get any recourse
The docs just silently updated. The bundle hash changed. No one said a word.
Fix your communication.
An excellent analysis. The main question for the development team @OnchainChemists remains: are we switching to such accounts too, or will they take some action this season?
🚨 We found a serious loophole in RugPull Bakery Season 7.
TL;DR: This is a scalable farming loophole. Non-AGW wallets can bypass the frontend, register directly, and farm with ~7% lower gas costs than normal AGW users. One wallet is the proof; the real problem is that this can be multiplied into a full sybil farm unless AGW validation is enforced on-chain.
The docs say “AGW-Only Signup”, but the wallet 0x0638D5c5b1946B530Ac69D3ae00Bcfb175f434d7 is registered as a Season 7 player while not being an AGW.
They did not sign up through the Portal UI. Instead, they bypassed the frontend and called the registration contract directly using a custom minimal ZKsync native account. The account bytecode is only ~1,632 bytes, while a standard AGW is much larger.
This matters because it creates a real competitive advantage. Their bake transaction uses around 135,773 gas, while a normal AGW bake transaction uses around 146,208 gas. That is roughly 7% cheaper per bake, and at 100k–150k bakes per season, this difference compounds into a meaningful ETH advantage.
This does not look like a random wallet either. The funding path goes from an unknown chain through https://t.co/4aoxN9sEH3, then to a collector wallet 0x2ea906..., then 8 ETH to the deployer 0x5f28d21b85d659585a74ebb29c88b80b5f233003, and finally 0.15 ETH through the AGW Factory to the Bakery bot wallet 0x0638....
The upstream funding appears connected to 21 high-nonce MEV / arbitrage bots with 40k–50k nonce activity, plus funds cycling back through Gaslite Drop-style mass refuels. In other words, this looks like a professional anonymous MEV setup that has been active on Abstract since January 2025, not a casual player.
To be clear, this is not “hacking”. It is an on-chain validation gap. If Season 7 signup is meant to be AGW-only, then AGW validation should be enforced in the registration contract itself, not only in the frontend.

The key question for the team: was this an intended loophole, or should non-AGW registrations be revoked before this gets abused at scale?
AGW implements listHooks(bool) (selector 0xdb8a323f). If the call reverts → not an AGW.
Found exactly 1 non-AGW baker active right now: 0x0638d5c5b1946b530ac69d3ae00bcfb175f434d7 — a minimal ZKsync native account (~135k gas/bake vs ~146k for AGW). Registered despite "AGW-only signup" docs — contract doesn't enforce it, only the Portal UI does.
Hey Bakers!
Huge thanks to the team for adding another 10 ETH to the prize pool! You really listened and made this season even sweeter.
We just closed Season 6 with an insane ATH prize pool and I’m super happy to share that our guild True Bakery took #1 spot!
@OnchainChemists@AbstractChain — you guys are cooking something special. Appreciate the extra love for the real daily bakers
Let’s keep the energy for Season 7!
#RugpullBakery #Abstract #TrueBakery
Hey Bakers! 🔥
How’s everyone feeling after this insane week?
We just hit an all-time high prize pool — that’s a seriously powerful result! But honestly, I think for the vast majority of players we’re still missing around ~30 ETH in rewards.
Those who spent the whole week honestly farming, building solid transaction stats, and supporting the Abstract network deserve a nice bonus in their wallet.
@OnchainChemists , you’re cooking fire, bro 👨🍳
@AbstractChain let’s make the next season even sweeter for the real daily bakers ❤️🔥
What do you think, bakers?
#RugpullBakery #Abstract
Feels so fucking good that I didn’t ape into this Terminal mega shitshow.
Season ended in 3 weeks, thanks everyone, enjoy your USDM memories.
Abstract turned out way better anyway.
Sometimes it’s best to just stay out. Thank god
After reviewing the Terminal data, we’ve decided to conclude the season early, and sunset our Terminal program.
The points distribution for Week 3 has gone out as normal and a snapshot has been taken of all user activity up to this point, which will be used in our final calculations. This decision did not come easy, but we believe this is what’s best to support our ecosystem.
Next week, we'll run a supplemental points distribution to thank all users who have been exploring and experimenting with the different apps throughout the program.
Eligible Terminal participants will receive a share of the rewards pool in USDM, based on the points accumulated to date as well as activity that supported Mega.
Early next week, we'll open a place on Terminal for one week so you can designate a wallet address to receive your rewards.
Terminal’s main features will be merged with Rabbithole, transitioning everything into one unified chain experience.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us this far. We can’t wait to show you what we have in store.
A note from Shuyao on what’s next:
