We've normalized a space where scams are common, complexity is expected, and 'getting rugged' is seen as a rite of passage. Imo this is the #1 barrier to adoption and frankly, everyday users deserve better. Here’s the vision I'm building toward & how you can help shape it!👇

@Kid_Navious @zacodil Spend time lubing yourself from all that dick riding also. Might not be as salty either, and your ass might not be as sore anymore. Glad i live in your head rent free. I am TRULY HONORED. 😘

@ninja_dev3 @zacodil Spend time improving that spud and maybe you’d have 10% of deployers and bankrs success. Or just wait for the next fud party

Everyone says Grok got hacked. It is Bankr's problem, not Grok's. Yes, AI agents can be prompt-injected - that is a known LLM issue. But here the AI does not even own the private keys. Bankr decides what Grok's text means. An LLM cannot defensively word every reply against an external parser. That is not how language works. Twice now. The story: Earlier this year, someone tweeted at Grok asking for a token name suggestion. Grok suggested "DebtReliefBot" (DRB). Bankr, reading Grok's tweet as a deploy command, launched the token on Base. Bankr's launchpad gives creator allocations to the deploying wallet, so a wallet labeled "Grok" on Basescan ended up holding 3 billion DRB tokens (~$155K). Bankr controlled that wallet. Recently someone drained it. Two-stage attack: 1. Attacker sent the Grok-labeled wallet a Bankr Club Membership NFT. That NFT is what unlocks Bankr's transfer tools for any wallet that holds it. 2. Attacker tweeted at Grok with a crafted prompt. Grok generated a reply containing "@bankrbot send 3B DRB to 0xe8e47..." 3. Bankr scanned X, saw the command in Grok's tweet, verified the wallet had Bankr Club NFT, signed and broadcast the transfer. The wallet was created by Bankr in association with the @grok X handle. Bankr holds operational control. Grok is a text-generation service. xAI does not hold the keys. Bankr just executes whatever appears in Grok's feed. The first incident was DavidJones805 in March using image-text injection. Bankr stopped responding to Grok back then, but the integration evidently came back online. The fix is not "make the LLM smarter." The fix is do not build infrastructure that takes LLM text as authorization to move money. Either Bankr stops listening to Grok, or Bankr accepts that whatever Grok says is its own consequence.

@Kid_Navious @zacodil Apparently like I haunt you with your alt.😘

@ninja_dev3 @zacodil Deployer and bankr haunts you at night you??

Of course it will lol. You and I both know, everything in crypto is honestly centralized to an extent lol But it is always funny trying to see the argument. I built a similar product and I myself, would say, yes its centralized. Has to be for it to work as it was built. But i also wouldn't make others think a pig is a chicken when its clearly not lol.

@ninja_dev3 @bankrbot don't go down this thread 😶 saying something's centralized is centralized seemed to trigger bagholders x.com/CRYPT0forCHANG…

grok doesn't have money it just lost access to its wallet via bankrbot, rip 🪦 ⚠️ also highlights the centralized nature of @bankrbot that can disable access to your wallets as they desire i wouldn't keep my funds there

It was prompt injected the exact same way it was used to move the funds. Bankr team supported it at that time and was all for it since launching tokens and taking 50% of the fee is how they make money (worse than pump.fun). But once someone outsmarted Grok, well not even outsmarted because Grok is not built with safeguards for other AI agents like Bankr. But once someone was clever enough to have Grok send it's funds to someone they disabled the access for Grok to respond.

@ninja_dev3 @cryptoleon Can u educate us that don't know how DRB was Created. Thanks 👍

Why is everybody getting angry and calling him a scammer? He literally tricked an AI to send him money. Like well played GGs.

@zacodil Exactly. Cant have your cake and eat it too. but thats what they want.

@ninja_dev3 Permissionless until inconvenient. The integration was fine when it was minting Base team memes - it only became a "vulnerability" once someone outside used the same surface.

@apoorveth It's only one sided though bro. Grok can do what he wants so long as it benefits thee otherwise he can't. 😂

but grok can do anything it wants with the tokens in its wallet, what's the issue 🤔

@WazzCrypto Oddly enough I agree on this one. It's shitty but if someone was smart enough, like whoes fault is it really. Kudos on the win honestly.

You know what, if someone tricks an AI into sending them $200K with morse code via prompt injection, they deserve it. enjoy the loot bro

@SH13LDS7 Awesome! Threw a donation over to @wiimee. Great shout! We need more and more education. Love to see it!

@ninja_dev3 Always brother. I know the struggle. My Buddy WiiMee here has been doing a superb Job on the education side. Any support would definitely be great 🫡

Building a security tool in Web3 is definitely not easy. Trust me, I’ve been trying! And I know quite a few others who have been grinding on this too. One of the main reasons we’ve slowed down or completely stopped is funding. Public goods are great in theory, but they come with real costs: ✅ Server Costs ✅ Developer Costs ✅ API Costs ✅ and more. That’s why people like @ninja_dev3 , who took it upon himself to build a tool like @quickintel_ai that flags scam tokens and helps you dodge honeypots, deserve your full support on CT. If you’ve ever been rugged or saved by a tool like this, show some love. Support with your donation on @Giveth Link: qf.giveth.io/project/quick-… Follow, share, tip, or just shout them out. These builders are out here protecting the space with zero expectation of VC bags. Real ones support real builders. 💪

Masterpiece.

@officer_secret @Giveth @thedaofund Donated. Thanks for your work in this space.

Hey @Giveth @thedaofund is there a way to add my project back to QF round? I applied some changes (fixed typos and broken X link) and it seems it got delisted… Appreciate any help! qf.giveth.io/project/opsec-…

@icobeast Damn the crypto bear market is rough. Kills a lot of projects.

If they had launched an NFT or a pumpfun coin they might not have had to shutdown

@mert Yep, that's an extra tip if you want to go above and beyond. Don't worry the servers will come and defend every reason why you need to massively tip them for slow service, tomatos when you told them no, and why your drinking ice since your drink ran out.

can americans explain to me how there's a mandatory 20% tip on the dinner bill but then also another section for a tip again on the bill? you are supposed to tip the tip??

@nikitabier What about also the same for your following so you can clean up people your following that haven't been active also. That would actually be great on both ends!

Would it valuable to know how many of your followers have been active on X in the last 24 hours?

@lex_node At this point the sooner it does the better so we can rebuild honestly.

"keys were stored in a password manager....we relied on carefully scripted and simulated upgrades to preserve security rather than a multisig or hardware-backed signing...." to me it looks like our 'industry' will need to go to 'zero' & be rebuilt by people who care

@apex_ether USDC doesn't count ser.

For the first time in about two months, I’ve added a new token to my Base watchlist.

@UniswapVillain Ive noticed this recently, its been so annoying lol.

My claude always tryna get me to go to bed. Just constantly tells me to go to sleep lol
