ApeChain: Bored Ape Yacht Club Leaves Ethereum?

 


After Bored Ape Yacht Club's successful sale of digital properties, they are now considering leaving Ethereum and creating their own blockchain: ApeChain. This should guarantee the scalability of the colorful ecosystem and make the Bored Apes ready for the mainstream.


Is it time for an ApeChain? On 4/30/2022, Bored Ape Yacht Club's long-awaited digital property sale took place. With this you want to create your own metaverse, “The Otherside” . In this you should be represented by your own NFTs and have the opportunity to trade digital assets via real money. This model is strongly based on the gaming industry.


But the NFT drop was not without problems. The demand for the 55,000 Otherdeeds (as the virtual pieces of land are called) was so great that interested parties were confronted with horrendous transaction fees and even Etherscan gave up the ghost. Unfortunately, many of the potential customers went away empty-handed and had to switch to the secondary market.


In addition, the Otherdeeds could only be purchased via $APE or ApeCoin . The fact that these lost value and failed transactions caused high costs left a bitter aftertaste for many of those who left empty-handed. Yuga Labs responded to a prompt announcement that they will refund all failed transactions.



A separate ApeChain should enable the scalability of BAYC

Although Ethereum functioned smoothly during the NFT drop, it once again brought up the scalability debate. Sufficient scalability is a problem that the blockchain community is working on at full speed and that no blockchain has yet mastered.


Because as soon as there is high activity on Ethereum (or any other blockchain), significant transaction fees make the network almost unusable. Not least for this reason, Ethereum will soon switch to Proof-of-Stake in the update “The Merge” . After that it should be possible to stake ETH and get interest on it.



So it happened that Yuga Labs announced via Twitter that they wanted to start their own blockchain and turn their backs on Ethereum for the time being. This is absolutely necessary to guarantee the scalability of the BAYC ecosystem. The tweet is intended to give the Ape-DAO food for thought and encourage the collective to create an ApeChain.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
