Renzo statistics civil servant graduation.
On April 23rd, the re-staking project Renzo announced airdrop details. In the first version of the announcement, the pie chart for token allocation was almost a statistical textbook, with the shares allocated to Binance Launchpool and liquidity both represented as 2.5%, almost indistinguishable from 20%, while the bottom 'half' was 62%. The community bluntly stated this was 'chart crime, no different from falsifying token economics.'
A well-known S surname project launched an epic candlestick chart.

The project party online hired 4 developers, who are actually the same North Korean hacker.
On March 27th, the Blast ecosystem project Munchables was hacked for 62.5 million USD. According to on-chain investigator ZachXBT, one of their developers was a North Korean hacker, and the four different developers hired by the Munchables team were all linked to the attacker, likely the same person. They recommended each other for the job and regularly transferred payments to the same two deposit addresses on trading platforms, indicating mutual transfers between the 'four' wallets.
Based on annual earnings, North Korean hackers should earn more than many listed companies.
A well-known L surname cross-chain project is asking 'witches' to turn themselves in, a historical first.

This is not over yet; the project party stated that the reporter must provide at least 20 addresses clearly involved in witch operations, and rewards will be prioritized for the first successful submission. Subsequently, they further updated the reporting mechanism to introduce a margin system.
This is truly something I've never seen before.

Slerf accidentally burned its tokens and LP, the whole network learned 'Oh Fuck'.
On March 18th, Slerf project founder @Slerfsol posted on X platform that he accidentally destroyed the LP and tokens reserved for airdrops due to misoperation, and the minting rights have been revoked. He felt powerless and even cried out in Space.
Initially, it was thought that the meme project SLERF, which raised over 50,000 SOL, would die, but unexpectedly this move allowed SLERF to break the previous record set by BOME of reaching a market value of over 100 million in 9 hours, achieving it in only 30 minutes. SLERF's market value surpassed 100 million, becoming the new meme king. Subsequent meme projects that encountered burn pools would be labeled with the Slerf narrative for community CX.
He lit himself up to entertain everyone.
On Pump.Fun, a Dev soaked himself in isopropanol to boost meme market value, live-streaming himself launching fireworks at himself in an attempt to promote his meme coin. The token price skyrocketed 2000% in a few hours, reaching a market value of 2 million USD. 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 tokens. After recovery, he found he couldn't use his hands normally, and even facial recognition on his phone couldn't identify him. Later, this Dev withdrew from the project, and the last thing was that he failed to sell the tokens in time.
