@0xSurd Love your story man

I was broke in January 2024. During this time, a lot of old dead Ethereum tokens revived and pumped from 0 to $30M, $100M mcap such as ZUZALU, TROLL, and many others. I used Etherscan to research into wallets who had bought these tokens (for almost or more than year) and forgotten that these tokens had pumped. The first wallet I discovered had bought $100 of ZUZALU or maybe lesser (can’t really remember) which was worth $18K when it pumped. Using X, telegram and some other onchain connections, i found the owner of the wallet and explained that the person has money sitting somewhere. She didn’t believe at first. She didn’t even have gas fees, i sent her gas fees and she sold her bag in one clip. She was so surprised and happy. I requested politely for finder’s fee and she sent me 1 ETH which was worth $2K at that time. She chatted me the next day regretting why she sold early, as that bag had pumped like 3x from where she sold. Profit is profit, lol. Found another wallet. This happened to be a whale. He bought $450 worth of TROLL like a year ago (2023) which was worth $360K as at the time i found it. I didn’t get his contact directly but reached out to another person i found who was connected to his wallet. This person helped me messaged him. I didn’t even request for anything since I wasn’t able to get in touch with him directly. After a day, the whale messaged me himself, thanked me and sent me $6K as reward. He told me he was able to find one of his other wallets he had forgotten about that had pumped also, with $1M worth of tokens. He just buy and forget, not an active degen. Did same for other multiple wallets. Some sent $100 rewards. Some didn’t even reply my message. Some read the message and immediately sold their bags worth $50K+then blocked me on TG, lol. All of these happened in a week. Made about $10,000 in total.

From wallet address search. For example, if you search a wallet address on X and it shows result, the person who commented (maybe in a giveaway tweet or NFT whitelist) with that exact address owns it. That confirms the handle. In a case whereby results do not show on the wallet address, you can use any of the connected wallets to run the search.

@0xSurd How did you know it is their handle ?

@CRUCIFIIXXX Indeed. Unlocked good liquidity during that time.

@0xSurd Very smart way to make money

@UzOnChain Mostly reached out to them through Telegram and X.

@0xSurd I might also try this. But how does one get intouch with the wallet owner ?

@Hokage_fc 😅

@0xSurd Abeg how can I register as wallet owner finder 🫠🫠🫠🥳

@Parzival_Snow Yes

@0xSurd I remember this, you shared this story in the lounge

@OchefuAristocr1 💯

@0xSurd Good old times!

@InfoSpace_OG Thanks man! Hehehe, never sell those dust, you never know 😅

@0xSurd Damn!!! This is a good story Wallet finding to make money That's a good one, ngl How I wish you wallet find my wallet and I mysteriously would have $1m there 🤲🏾😂

@nzubemush Yeah. Time flies 😁

@0xSurd Can't believe this is up to 2 years ago😮

@0xSurd Real. You made me money ser.

You know that moment when you sit down and think back to 2024/2025… when you were making five figures from a single memcoin trade in 2 days like it was nothing? Then you snap back to reality, just smile, shake your head, and hiss. Wild times.

If you didn’t round trip all the profit you made during this cycle, you’ve already outperformed 95% of the market. Most of what you’re seeing being pushed are cope plays and KOLs attempting to treat you like a lamb that is brought to the slaughter. I’d recommend protecting your capital till it’s clear +ve liquidity flow and playing with an insignificant amount you don’t care about losing, if you’re bored. That’s what I’m doing.

There have recently been some discussions on the ongoing role of L2s in the Ethereum ecosystem, especially in the face of two facts: * L2s' progress to stage 2 (and, secondarily, on interop) has been far slower and more difficult than originally expected * L1 itself is scaling, fees are very low, and gaslimits are projected to increase greatly in 2026 Both of these facts, for their own separate reasons, mean that the original vision of L2s and their role in Ethereum no longer makes sense, and we need a new path. First, let us recap the original vision. Ethereum needs to scale. The definition of "Ethereum scaling" is the existence of large quantities of block space that is backed by the full faith and credit of Ethereum - that is, block space where, if you do things (including with ETH) inside that block space, your activities are guaranteed to be valid, uncensored, unreverted, untouched, as long as Ethereum itself functions. If you create a 10000 TPS EVM where its connection to L1 is mediated by a multisig bridge, then you are not scaling Ethereum. This vision no longer makes sense. L1 does not need L2s to be "branded shards", because L1 is itself scaling. And L2s are not able or willing to satisfy the properties that a true "branded shard" would require. I've even seen at least one explicitly saying that they may never want to go beyond stage 1, not just for technical reasons around ZK-EVM safety, but also because their customers' regulatory needs require them to have ultimate control. This may be doing the right thing for your customers. But it should be obvious that if you are doing this, then you are not "scaling Ethereum" in the sense meant by the rollup-centric roadmap. But that's fine! it's fine because Ethereum itself is now scaling directly on L1, with large planned increases to its gas limit this year and the years ahead. We should stop thinking about L2s as literally being "branded shards" of Ethereum, with the social status and responsibilities that this entails. Instead, we can think of L2s as being a full spectrum, which includes both chains backed by the full faith and credit of Ethereum with various unique properties (eg. not just EVM), as well as a whole array of options at different levels of connection to Ethereum, that each person (or bot) is free to care about or not care about depending on their needs. What would I do today if I were an L2? * Identify a value add other than "scaling". Examples: (i) non-EVM specialized features/VMs around privacy, (ii) efficiency specialized around a particular application, (iii) truly extreme levels of scaling that even a greatly expanded L1 will not do, (iv) a totally different design for non-financial applications, eg. social, identity, AI, (v) ultra-low-latency and other sequencing properties, (vi) maybe built-in oracles or decentralized dispute resolution or other "non-computationally-verifiable" features * Be stage 1 at the minimum (otherwise you really are just a separate L1 with a bridge, and you should just call yourself that) if you're doing things with ETH or other ethereum-issued assets * Support maximum interoperability with Ethereum, though this will differ for each one (eg. what if you're not EVM, or even not financial?) From Ethereum's side, over the past few months I've become more convinced of the value of the native rollup precompile, particuarly once we have enshrined ZK-EVM proofs that we need anyway to scale L1. This is a precompile that verifies a ZK-EVM proof, and it's "part of Ethereum", so (i) it auto-upgrades along with Ethereum, and (ii) if the precompile has a bug, Ethereum will hard-fork to fix the bug. The native rollup precompile would make full, security-council-free, EVM verification accessible. We should spend much more time working out how to design it in such a way that if your L2 is "EVM plus other stuff", then the native rollup precompile would verify the EVM, and you only have to bring your own prover for the "other stuff" (eg. Stylus). This might involve a canonical way of exposing a lookup table between contract call inputs and outputs, and letting you provide your own values to the lookup table (that you would prove separately). This would make it easy to have safe, strong, trustless interoperability with Ethereum. It also enables synchronous composability (see: ethresear.ch/t/combining-pr… and ethresear.ch/t/synchronous-… ). And from there, it's each L2's choice exactly what they want to build. Don't just "extend L1", figure out something new to add. This of course means that some will add things that are trust-dependent, or backdoored, or otherwise insecure; this is unavoidable in a permissionless ecosystem where developers have freedom. Our job should make to make it clear to users what guarantees they have, and to build up the strongest Ethereum that we can.
