The annual absurd news in the crypto circle is here again (2022 was just too miserable), and this year still has many amazing moments that make everyone stand up. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, may we continue to make money in 2025.

Renzo graduated as a statistics civil servant.

On April 23, the staking project Renzo announced airdrop details. In the first version of the announcement released by Renzo, its token distribution pie chart was as follows, which can be called a statistics textbook. The 2.5% shares allocated to Binance Launchpool and liquidity were depicted similarly to 20%, while the bottom 'half' was 62%. The community bluntly stated this was 'chart crime, no different from falsifying token economics.'

A well-known project with the surname S launched an epic K-line

A well-known project with the surname S officially launched after the pre-trading session ended on Binance, making it difficult to tell whether the K-line is up or down, a rare historical moment.

The project team online hired 4 developers, who are actually the same North Korean hacker.

On March 27, the Blast ecological project Munchables was hacked for $62.5 million. According to blockchain detective ZachXBT's investigation, it was due to one of their developers being a North Korean hacker, and the four different developers hired by the Munchables team were linked to the attacker, likely being the same person. They recommended each other for this job and regularly transferred payments to the same two deposit addresses on trading platforms, with 'four people's' wallets exhibiting mutual transfer behavior.

Calculated by annual earnings, North Korean hackers should earn more than many publicly listed companies.

A well-known cross-chain project with the surname L is asking 'witches' to turn themselves in, a historic first.

On May 4, a well-known cross-chain project with the surname L announced that users identified as witches could turn themselves in, surrendering their witch addresses to receive 15% of their originally allocated amount. If they do not turn themselves in and are discovered later, all allocations will be canceled.

It doesn't stop there; the project team stated that reporters need to provide at least 20 addresses clearly involved in witch operations, and rewards will be prioritized for the first successful submission. Later, the reporting mechanism was further updated to introduce a margin system.

This is truly something I've never seen before.

At a party hosted by the cryptocurrency custody company Copper, they apologized for serving naked sushi to attendees.

A person close to Copper said the models were a man and a woman, 'wearing swimsuits', and added that it was 'very dazzling...'.

You can tell the project team made a lot of money this year.

Slerf accidentally burned the token and LP due to a mistake, leading the whole network to learn 'Oh Fuck'.

On March 18, Slerf project founder @Slerfsol posted on X platform that due to an operational error, he destroyed the LP and airdrop reserved tokens, and the minting rights have been revoked. He felt helpless and even cried genuinely in Space.

I thought the meme project SLERF, which raised over 50,000 SOL, would die, but unexpectedly this act instead helped SLERF break the previous record set by BOME, which took 9 hours to reach a market cap of over 100 million, in just 30 minutes. SLERF reached a market cap of over 100 million, becoming the new meme king. As a result, any subsequent meme projects will be associated with the Slerf narrative for community CX.

Lit himself up to entertain everyone.

A developer from Pump.Fun soaked himself in isopropanol to boost the meme market cap and live-streamed fireworks directed at himself, attempting to create hype for his meme coin. The token price surged 2000% in a few hours, reaching a market cap of $2 million. However, due to a lack of necessary fire safety measures, he was instantly engulfed in flames, suffering third-degree burns and hospitalized, unable to sell the token. After recovery, he found he couldn't use his hands normally, and even facial recognition on his phone couldn't recognize him. Later, this developer left the project, and the last thing that should have happened was not selling the token in time.
