A big shoutout to all our long-term supporters! While there's no official V2 launch date yet, there were initial hopes of aligning it with the BTC halving—more of a personal milestone for our team.

Creative work? Mostly done. But, we've realized setting up strategies and tech aspects has been underestimated. Alongside a reduced team size due to the bear market, one of our key members has been going through a particularly rough time, which has unavoidably slowed our progress. We're pushing through, allocating funds out of pocket, building what typically requires a big team funded by VCs we’re committed to quality and making every step count.

We're consulting with agencies to ensure we nail the technical setup and strategy. We want more than just a launch, we aim for an impactful one that justifies all our hard work. Launching the V2 contract prematurely would've left little room to perfect our pfp+comic NFT strategies. Patience will pay off!

With a small market cap the growth potential is immense once we're live. Our current holders are so early!

Below is a sneak peek on what to expect for @captaininusaga's new branding! Music by @medalinuforce.

Stay tuned for more and thanks for being part of this journey.

Applied for the @AbstractChain Builder program as we are believers of what @LucaNetz is building, we also met him last year at NFTfest and had a good chat.

So at @captaininusaga with the recent LP hack we are looking for any extra help. Let's see what happens ;)

[Telos @Telos_One]

It has been a little over 1.5 months since the hack and what an emotional ride it has been... I’m writing this to provide clarity.

We want future holders, investors, and partners to have all the details on what happened on-chain to show we did not plan this.

On January 17th, (ironically the same day Trump launched his coin and drained liquidity out of the memes), a hacker struck @captaininusaga taking all $ETH from our LP.

Here’s the full breakdown, step by step:

1️⃣ First transaction after selling LP tokens:

2️⃣ LP TrustSwap Ownership Change (Giving hacker full control):

3️⃣ Funds sent to hacker’s wallet (holding over $4M in ETH): 0xaa358a3716eadb02d44eafaafda76e9ffbdbc3bb
This wallet receives new ETH every few hours, likely liquidating funds from other hacks.

4️⃣ January 20th: A large portion of the stolen LP sent to the hacker’s wallet:

Originated from the Captain Inu deployer wallet.

5️⃣ February 14th: The hacker drains the last 6 ETH from TrustSwap.
The hacker intentionally left some ETH in the LP, likely to trap late buyers.

We’re sharing this because Captain Inu has always been about long-term vision. This hack was a massive setback, but we are still here!

We built @LordMetaberg as a villain, but this hack makes it feel like he’s real.

[Telos @Telos_One]

People are tired of projects that die overnight.
Tired of influencers dumping on them.
Tired of empty promises and short-term plays.

Crypto needs real teams, real transparency, and real vision. That’s exactly what we’ve built with Captain Inu.

We’re here to prove that memes don’t have to be fleeting trends. With high-quality content, real storytelling, utility and a long-term mission, we’re creating something worth holding.

Our comic artist has delivered incredible, high-quality art, bringing the world of Captain Inu to life with detail, action, and emotion.

We have so much content to share—a full comic, anime, and a universe in the making. A hack won’t stop us. Nothing will.

This is our chance to bring something exciting and real to the space.

[Telos @Telos_One]

@barkmeta Unfortunately, that’s the truth in this market. Too many projects die overnight, and trust is at an all-time low.

We’ve spent 3 years building @captaininusaga, creating a full ecosystem and a vision. We got hacked, took a massive hit, but we’re still here, pushing forward.

[Captain Inu @captaininusaga]

Despite the challenges, Captain Inu will recover.

We were ready to launch, but a devastating hack drained all LP for V2’s liquidity. While we already secured the snapshot for holders, rebuilding the LP is now our biggest challenge. We’re actively reaching out to third parties to help restore the LP and add more value to the project. If needed, we’ll move forward with a lower LP than planned—but we won’t stop.

We want to be there when $ETH and $DOGE have their bull run—and we’re hoping that moment is still coming.

A hero may fall, but he will always rise.

@Thormi90 @medalinuforce @captaininusaga My guy did you even read? Pretty distasteful and zero empathy calling someone an idiot for going through so much

🚨 Important Update on $CPTINU V2 Launch 🚨

Hey everyone,

As you know, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to launch @captaininusaga V2. It’s been a challenging road, and while we were finally ready to launch, things took an unexpected and devastating turn this week.

Before stating what happened I start with a brief overview of my absence and why the project wasn’t pushed out earlier.

💔 Personal Challenges

I had struggles focussing on the project because over the past years, my personal life has been a whirlwind. I lost my dad, have been caring full-time for my mom who’s battling metastasized cancer, and my relationship ended, forcing me to find a new home.

On top of all this, my own health completely collapsed last March. I could barely walk, severe fatigue/brain fog and my vision was severely impaired. I underwent extensive medical testing, including multiple blood checks and a brain scan, and it seems I’ve been suffering from a severe burnout that has taken a significant toll on my brain. It’s been an incredibly scary and exhausting journey to recover as you can imagine.

Despite everything, the vision for $CPTINU kept going. And I want to give a massive shoutout to Telos, who held the ship steady by continuing development while I focused on my health and worked behind the scenes on some project stuff.

I hope that has given some clearance on why it took so long to do a V2 launch. So now what happened with the launch that was planned for this week?

🔓 The Hack

On January 17th at 5 PM, tragedy struck. A hacker accessed my personal wallets, including the Captain Inu deployer wallet, and drained everything. This attack was highly sophisticated. A malicious plugin/extension I downloaded allowed the hacker to seemingly record my screen, capturing passwords and even accessing credit card details.

By gaining this access, the hacker started dumping all $CPTINU Uniswap tokens and sold all $CPTINU tokens from wallets that we had purchased with at launch. Additionally, the hacker transferred the TrustSwap ownership of the Captain Inu deployer wallet to themselves.

This means the remaining 6.9 ETH in the LP is from TrustSwap, which is now unlocked and in possession of the hacker.

All funds taken by the hacker went to this address:
🔗https://t.co/xgWXRBF8nm

We initially hoped this was an exchange address, but unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be. If anyone has on-chain research skills to help us trace this, please reach out. Any assistance could make a difference. 🙏

🚨 What Does This Mean for $CPTINU?

To ensure trading could continue seamlessly while we prepared for V2, we kept the liquidity pool live. The idea was to allow holders to keep trading until last month when the snapshot got taken. The crazy part is, we were gonna take it out this week as i just managed to finish the new eth contract with the dev. Unfortunately, by gaining control of the deployer wallet, the hacker was able to unlock and steal all $102K-30 ETH in liquidity.

This means that all funds meant for the V2 launch are gone, and I’ve also lost my personal funds. It’s absolutely devastating. We’ve poured so much into this project, and it’s heartbreaking to see this happen just days before launch.

Thankfully, we had already taken a snapshot of token holders before the hack. This means we can proceed by updating the hacked wallet address, ensuring that all holders are covered for V2.

However, funding the liquidity pool remains our biggest challenge. We estimate we need at least $50K -15 ETH to rebuild 50% of the LP and launch V2 in a rightful manner. Right now, we simply don’t have the resources. Also a big majority of the Captain Inu funding was lost in the Luna stablecoin staking fiasco 😔

💡 How You Can Help

Out of hope, I’m reaching out to anyone who believes in the vision of Captain Inu and is willing to support us during this tough time. If you want to help or contribute to the LP please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via DM.

We hope you are still with us and can help us confront this. Show that even in the face of adversity, we can rebuild stronger together.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. 🙏
