Few days ago I started a little Google Sheet to rate publicly smart contracts in order to raise awareness and help both collectors and developers - it wil also contain do and don't for when developing a contract.

To respond to all the other DMs I am getting: Yes, I also reviewed and audited
@oxmose_NFT
smart contract. Super smart ERC721A integration and gas optimisation. Safe and secured 🛡️✅
Why is
@nftworldsNFT
the best metaverse? Because in addition to delivering everything on time, they understood how to reuse the wheel instead of reinventing it. A competent team with a real vision.
I am really thankful for all the recognition tweets I am getting for the gas optimization I've pushed within
@RTFKT
. Building on blockchain is something hard, especially when you have a huge community fighting for the same unique token at the time.
Quick thread 🧵
I am happy to release an initial iteration of what I've been 💭, testing & 🛠 lately. A proposal for an Anti-Theft System 🥷 leveraging blockchain capabilities.
Counting on the community to help define the future of this system & give feedbacks 🙏
I don't agree, putting the blame on ETH. Gas wars can be avoided and optimization can be done, heavily. But eh. I don't want to FUD. Whatever makes anyone happy.
I am happy to announce that we have migrated some CloneX metadata on-chain. At this time, only DNA & if it is a Murakami Drip (or not) is on-chain, but more metadata will be set post-Ethereum Merge.
I want to properly apologies to all of our collectors who faced an unacceptable experience while trying to get an AR Hoodie. The whole team worked hard to make sure everything was perfect: from the design of the experience to the smart contract. 1/7

Good journalism is not about being the first, its about being truthful and realistic: its about reporting a fact without bias and misrepresentation.
If your goal is to be the 1st & you put aside reality and fact checking, then you are not a journalist, you are sensationalist.
What the hell
@Minecraft
? The reasoning behind the announcement is the most stupid & old-school I have ever seen.
I am confident in
@iamarkdev
to bounce back and gives
@nftworldsNFT
the future it deserves. Crazy to see
@Microsoft
going full backward honestly.
Important CloneX thread will be dropping tomorrow about how the technology for 1) how the drop works and; 2) how we are trying to ensure full transparency on provenance and generation process.
Get ready!
I am happy to announce that I have started to release my advises to optimize gas, including some clarity on my technical vision of the space. I am still working on it - lot of work this week ahead of the event.
That is my gift I was talking about 👀
Apparently, some people are angry that I am doing giveaways. So I will do another giveaway.
Also, the winner of the latest one has not shown up yet. If after 24 hours there is no news, another winner will be selected.
World of Warcraft, Lineage 2, Runescape, ... all were metaverse. A metaverse is nothing else than an MMO with social and economics. The blockchain layer on the top of it is just the logical continuity but should never be the focus of how immersion is created.
The real builders are the ones that will keep building despite the bear market. And we, at,
@RTFKT
not only we keep building, but we also party with the community in New York!
Since the beginning of
@RTFKTstudios
, I have decided to make the brand stick to the Ethereum blockchain. We had opportunities to use other chains, to experiment, I refused: none of the alternative have what Ethereum has. We are and will stay on Ethereum.
So
@Coinbase_NFT
is live, but it has already been more than 2 weeks that their compliance team has blocked my account for absolutely no reason beside getting ETH from sold NFTs.
That's why I will never ask any of our collectors to use their platform. Use
@LooksRareNFT
instead!
💕 RTFKT 🤝 Azuki 💕
We are all on the same boat, indeed.
@AzukiOfficial
has been innovating, we (
@RTFKT
) have been innovating too. We are, together, part of what matter: the movement building the foundation of the next generation future.
How is this
@AzukiOfficial
vs.
@RTFKT
thing still happening... we're all in the same boat and just got different styles. Imagine coming into web3 and seeing this drama, I would turn right around and give up on the space smh.
I just discovered the web viewer of
@nftworldsNFT
- this is so impressive. I have been advocating about them since their launch and still haven't gotten a land. That will change very soon.
I mean look at this :
The release of this alpha version of the 3D models for CloneX was the hell of a ride, which took months of continuous work from many teams.
I am excited that we finally unlocked today, set new standards in terms of legal terms & even more excited to see what will be created!
Whatever I am cooking now will need the entire community of builders and collectors to chip in and help improve, but I am hopeful it will open a new path of safety for all of us.
Once again, our new drop has been out for now 5 days, but where is the
@opensea
verification? Nowhere to be found. Despite press release and whatnot.
Same with the fake collections which have blatantly the same name as ours since also 5 days - not removed yet.
Good luck on the launch of Lukso! Now that it is going to main net, I will start to look into it further.
IT DOESN'T MEAN IT WILL INTEGRATE RTFKT STACK ANYTIME SOON, it means that we'll start the process of pros/cons & see if and how it could be integrated in the future.
I don't think I have had so much excitement in a while. There is so much technical innovation coming your way within this year. I can't wait to lift the veil when the appropriate time comes!
As the CTO, all I can answer to the current FUD is: we’re building with care. We’re focusing on what matter to show how we care about the community but also invite others within it.
Silence doesn’t represent death. In this case it represent focus.
WARNING : This doesn't mean any changes for RTFKT-related tech nor a specific chain endorsment.
This year, I'll be expanding my horizons over Ethereum with a deeper dive within both the Solana & Lukso ecosystems. I already had opinions, but I think, following Vitalik latest…
GM! Waking up post-MNLTH is pretty amazing after months of planification and hard work! Where do we go from here? More innovation.
There is something special I spoke about a few months ago, which I can now finally work on. Looking forward to speaking more about it soon.
Seems like my luck turned 🥲 My new
@RollsRoyce
(like fully new) broke after 4000km in a random street of Greece for no apparent reason yesterday 😂 And the customer support is nowhere to be found, not even a replacement car yet.
@rollsroycecars
- What does it allow ?
The contract is query-able by anyone, allowing to verify a Clone DNA or Murakami Drip, giving more capabilities to projects like
@CloneForceTM
,
@ArtbyCrea
, ... to create handcrafted experiences.
I can’t wait for the moment when the power of smart contracts starts to be fully understood and leveraged. We are at 0.1% of the innovation that NFT brings 👀
I am quite serious about this. The phunks are more punks than the punks. LarvaLabs doing DMCA is literally the entire opposite of punk culture. And the more I see LL doing absolutely nothing beside legal actions, the less I feel tied to my punk.
I also see the FUD against
@yugalabs
. I get it, gas war is frustrating, but let's also remember how much they've been rewarding their community. Innovation has hiccups on the way, it's normal. But I am sure they will reward the collectors heavily - they have a track records.
With the AR Hoodie forging event, we've reached a moment where NFTs become what I always envisioned them to be: the perfect gateway between the physical & digital world. A decentralized and immutable link between the simulations.
This is exciting!
I am not going to comment the fact that
@realDonaldTrump
just tweeted extreme intelligence matter nor even disclosed US government satellite imagery capabilities. I am just going to say : LOOK AT THIS SATELLITE IMAGE QUALITY!
The United States of America was not involved in the catastrophic accident during final launch preparations for the Safir SLV Launch at Semnan Launch Site One in Iran. I wish Iran best wishes and good luck in determining what happened at Site One.
The skin system is like any video game: you equip your skin to your item (the dunk), your item becomes the skinned item. You can unequip the skin at any time, but if you sell your item with the skin equipped, it can be unequipped by the new owner.
I want to personally thank
@xvijojo
and the rest of the
@RTFKTstudios
team for the website,
@acolad16
for the design and experience and obviously myself for all the blockchain architecture, smart contracts, anti sniping feature, ... 👀😂
I wish I could just tell more about what makes me so excited, but sadly I cant, at least not yet. All I can say is: our tech team is working hard alongside other teams to deliver something truly unique & innovative. Months of thinking and dev getting almost ready to come out.
Meeting everyone at both the exposition and the party today was 🤯. All of you, all of your feedbacks, happiness, memories, … this is why we will keep innovating and build.
You are an inspiration.
I had near to no sleep time thanks to the 204329040 side effects I am having from my flu shot BUT at least, I am able to cool it off with my
@nftworldsNFT
. Pretty fun to jump back on Minecraft!
NFTs aren’t dead - they are just going where they are supposed to go: a stable future. I think we are finally witnessing the transitional moment where the technology will be leveraged properly instead of many pump and dump.
Time to build on the foundations innovators laid.
All emails have been sent! 🎆Congratulations🎆 if you made it!
If you are still refreshing your inbox but haven't received an email: better luck next time! We will make sure to create an even smoother experience.
I am finally going to bed.
I received a lot of DMs asking me if I was really auditing
@RAANFT
so the answer is : YES I AM. That is part of what I do continuously: Making sure contracts are safe, well written, and gas are super low ✅
We are spinning up more origin servers for our load balancing and preparing waiting rooms. We have also identified most of the IP ranges that were attacking us and blocked all of them. We refuse to block entire countries so we will not enable geolocated blocking.
As you know, we are preparing a 1000 CloneX giveaway. One thing is that we will make it happen on chain, using VRF Chainlink for random winner selection, as it should be done.
After all, this is one of the biggest giveaway in NFT history
This is a great addition to the ecosystem & makes me even more excited for when we can give more details about what we've been cooking at RTFKT.
Different solutions for the same problem is always a good thing: allowing community refining from multiple vectors to get perfection
Honestly hyped by how fast and nice
@MoralisWeb3
team is. We are now working on making sure what happened yesterday won't happen again.
Learnings are taken. I won't apologize ever enough, but I know I will do 200% of my capacities to deliver better to our collectors.
While we do our final tests, we've gated the main website with an Access page from
@Cloudflare
- as usual. Everything is fine! Website will be back when we are done 💕 - in time for the minting!
Yes, I am aware of the issue with the loopable exploit. The reality is : this was the 1st raffle we've done, and also an intense collaboration with
@oncyber
. The entire team worked really hard, on both end, to ensure a very unique and new experience. 1/3
