In a sluggish market, there are still brilliant records of getting rich quickly every day. On the last day of July, "Brother Sun" 0x Sun made $150,000 in just one minute.
This brilliant achievement also shocked foreigners, such as the famous KOL @CirrusNFT in the English circle:
I immediately went to watch the whole process carefully. As 0xSun mentioned in his tweet, his previous experience with FLC (Note: Floor Protocol, a protocol that can fragment ERC-721 small pictures into ERC-20 Tokens for trading) helped him discover this huge arbitrage opportunity. It can be said that compared with other players who rushed to "Tugou", "Brother Sun" not only watched closely and rushed quickly, but also had rich experience in NFT, which made him win a big victory.
As 0xSun said, the deployer of this token $BAYC is Ape Finance: Deployer, and at the beginning, the address 0x6B8c262CA939adbe3793D3eca519a9D64f74D184 added 72 ETH to the $BAYC pool. For ordinary "dog" players, this is enough to degen.
I don’t know who this big investor is, but this address has deposited 1,000 ETH into Blast.
In addition, there are 451 DeFi Apes in the address, which are the NFT series of Ape Finance, the deployer of the $BAYC contract. NFT players probably still have an impression of DeFi Apes, because in early 2023, "Big Brother Machi" Huang Licheng once promoted the project crazily, and everyone basically believed that he was actually behind the project.
The Ape Finance product itself basically provides lending based on $APE (BAYC's "monkey coin"). Since May 2023, the project's official Twitter account has only posted one tweet in November last year, and then continued to be silent until May of this year. They launched a function to bridge NFTs from the Ethereum mainnet to Blast, and then on Monday this week, they launched a function to bridge NFTs from Blast back to the mainnet.
It can be said that the Ape Finance project is basically in a flat state... There is no official announcement or previous hint about this new contract. The editor also searched the Telegram group of the project and their forum, and both places are basically in a half-dead state with no one talking.
The price of $BAYC soared 10 times within 5 minutes of opening, and was quickly sold off after 0xSun discovered that its contract had a "picture-to-coin conversion" function.
We can also see from the records on Etherscan that the name of the contract is "BAYCExchange", so in fact, the "Tugou" players mistakenly took a new function suspected to be BAYC "picture-to-coin conversion" launched by Ape Finance as "Tugou" rushing, and 0xSun was the first to discover this.
After 0x Sun first deposited BAYC to redeem $BAYC, vasechka.eth also discovered it.
vasechka.eth first repaid the loan from Blend and took back the BAYC he had lent and then exchanged it for $BAYC. The first transaction successfully turned about 9.15 ETH into about 19.36 ETH. He then withdrew another BAYC, but this time the profit was less than 1 ETH. He then added 8 ETH of $BAYC and successfully flipped a profit of 3 ETH.
This operation is difficult for ordinary players to replicate. In addition to the cost of buying BAYC, another thing that cannot be ignored is the risk cost, that is, whether there is a problem with the contract itself. The editor still remembers the former "White Lotus" Lotus. Before the staking contract was launched, the dev did not put it on the test network but put it on the main network. As a result, because a bracket was missing in the contract code, all players who found the contract and rushed in in advance were locked and could not withdraw the deposited ETH. At that time, this wave locked up millions of US dollars...
So, this was a victory of quick eyes and bravery.
Finally, at 2:40 am today, Ape Finance finally announced on their official Twitter that $BAYC was launched by them - they are not even doing "picture-to-coin conversion", it is really a meme token that can be redeemed by depositing BAYC...
It feels so good to start cutting with BAYC. Is there a possibility that the high-level players on the chain disrupted the game that the high-level players were preparing to start in advance? And the editor believes that this $BAYC may not be over yet, and it may be used to affect the price of BAYC NFT and make profits in both directions...
