One of the most slept on ApeFest announcements (in my opinion) is Rolodex by ApeChain.

Just checked the standings going into week 7 and noticed I’m in the top 10 outta 14k+ lineups… and it’s a HOF lineup 🍌

Just got some fresh @OthersideMeta alpha!
Sharing a screenshots from the gameplay and deeds.
We got to see resource gathering, farming, crafting items, selling items and travelling between lands. Everything was working in the demo.
There was two questions:
When launch? “Hold tight.”
Will Kodas have any advantages?
Yes, Kodas will have a gameplay advantage, but they’re keeping the details under wraps for now.
Things are getting interesting.
Nexus N Chill starts soon in the Otherside Discord.
🕑 The 2PM ET seating is about to kick off.
We run the same demo again at 10PM ET tonight.

THE NEWS IS OUT
Every player in Otherside will have an OUTPOST.
What is an outpost? Think of this as a small space where any player can craft, decorate their space, and enhance their starpod: think of it at as campsite. Players will travel to deeds accumulate resources and head back to their outpost to decide what to do with resources.
How does an outpost differ from a deed? An outpost is not a deed. It seems much smaller but still that subtle flex as players build and decorate their space. Players without deeds will naturally want the cinematic package that comes with a deed as they leave outposts to accumulate resources and attend special events which are on deeds. Exploring deeds will be constant advertising.
Crafting requires resources and time. Placing items is a breeze and although we've only seen this demonstrated on outposts one can imagine how this will extend to deed designs.

Meet the Map.
A top-down chart of Otherside covering all 100,000 Otherdeeds, opened from your Starpod.
Your first journey starts at the Nexus, with your StarHauler docked and ready. After that, it's wherever you left it.

Late at Apefest there was an extra public @OthersideMeta event. No pictures allowed, but my memory is pretty good, so here’s what I took away. (All from memory, so details may be off or change before release.)
The big theme: a full resource loop is coming. You travel to deeds, harvest resources, bring them home, craft, and trade. The best part is that crafted items can be placed directly on your deed, so you can build simple experiences inside Otherside without needing the ODK.
What’s changing?
The portal at the start becomes your Starpod. From there you pick from 4 destinations: Nexus, Swamp, the Map (to visit deeds), and a fourth I can’t recall.
What’s the Map?
It’s the Otherdeed overview, similar to our map view on oswiki. You can click deeds and see resource info: what’s on them, how much is left to harvest, and so on. You travel there with your Starpod, and travel takes time, so plan ahead. In the first wave only 4 environments are finished, and only Yuga-owned deeds can be visited.
How do I harvest?
When you arrive, markers show where resources are. Run to one and hit it until it breaks. Items drop, and you pick them up until your inventory is full. Then you have to RUN back to your Starpod to deliver them. Don’t respawn, or you lose everything. We also saw a Koda weapon for the first time, which probably gives some kind of boost.
What can I do with resources?
This is where it gets interesting. You can craft from predefined templates. @imjameshall crafted a tree and then placed it directly on his Otherdeed.
This is MASSIVE. Users can build simple experiences right inside Otherside. For multilevel experiences with complex mechanics, you’ll probably still need the ODK.
Where can I trade?
There’s a trading terminal directly in the Otherside menu. It reminded me a bit of what I built for oswiki, but there probably isn’t much room to do it differently.
Overall I’m positive about the progress. We needed this 3 years ago, but it’s finally here and we can take the next step!

Not directly connected but maybe relevant for many:
@dinopawnz told me to show up more in the otherside events, and i will do this again 😁
I got lazy and also gave him feedback what was the reason for me not to come. (voice changer, time slots, complicated to join) - but he told me that some of that hurdles already got removed.

@opensea and @HollanderAdam are openly supporting the sale of all these stolen Kodas from the Magic Eden hack. This is disgusting. How are you allowing this to happen, @HollanderAdam?
@BoredApeYC
@mfigge
@AdamWeitsman
These Kodas have been frozen since the hack, and rather than making an effort to return them to their rightful owners—or even giving us the opportunity to purchase them back from the seller—they've now allowed them to be sold and exploited.
This is an EPIC FAILURE of leadership in the space.

Abstract set a dangerous precedent: an L2 can collect gas fees, make teams pay to build on its chain, incentivize users and builders with token expectations, then shut down without ever delivering a TGE.
They extracted value from an ecosystem they encouraged people to invest in, then left those same people holding the bag.
Base and RH are different, they never ran points campaigns tied to expected token rewards.
If Abstract gets away with this, every L2 gets a blueprint to exploit its community and walk away with zero accountability.

This weekend I invented something new, a new type of token using Uniswap v4 hooks that I call a Pair Token.
A Pair Token is a new type of ERC-20. It is a fused, auto-compounding asset, a fusion of two tokens.
For example, the stock tokens NVDA and SPCX fused into a single tokenized version of the two, with the ticker NVDASPCX, or ETH with NVDA, creating ETHNVDA.
Each Pair Token represents a full-range Uniswap v4 liquidity pool.
So why mint these tokens?
These tokens are self-multiplying in terms of value, as at any moment anyone can call the compound function to compound the LP fees generated by the pair’s trading activity back into the asset.
The token represents a new financial primitive, as it represents a proportional value and moves as an LP position NFT would, except that it is auto-compounding and, thanks to its v4 hook, allows for compounding and self-growth.
Since it is an ERC-20, this token can be freely traded onchain, LPed, or even paired with a launchpad.
A new type of token for a new type of exposure and strategy.
Starting tonight, you’ll be able to mint or redeem Pair Tokens for any pair on Robinhood Chain via the StonkBrokers website.
Minting and redeeming are free, and the compounding process on the tokens incurs a 10% fee on the LP fees generated, which is used for $STONKBROKER buybacks.
I look forward to a new line of products and protocols on Robinhood Chain using this new financial primitive.

Last month, the contracts powering Magic Eden were exploited to the tune of millions of dollars. I was lucky enough to be in a position to rescue a good portion of that, but it highlighted the danger of leaving approvals open as adversaries get access to better and better tools for finding holes in contract logic.
Today, Blur announced that they will be deprecating their frontend.
I've investigated Blur and found no exploits within the current contracts. However, the Blur contracts are upgradable, meaning that they could turn malicious at any time.
They currently have eight figures worth of NFTs approved to them. The safety of those NFTs effectively hinges on the opssec of the Blur team, which appears to be disbanding at this time.
If you have open approvals to Blur, I recommend you remove them immediately. Use revoke.cash or similar to ensure that you are protected in case of a contract exploit or later upgrade.
Don't wait. The time is now.

So it would appear that the "authorized reseller" Was bought out in March of this year and forced to sign an NDA that prevented them from telling anybody that they had sold the business.
The NDA expires in 10 days.
It is now more likely that we're not dealing with a malicious employee, but probably a well-funded and relatively sophisticated bad actor, possibly DPRK.
It is also likely that this is not the only third-party reseller that they attempted to buy.
If you purchased a ledger (or other hardware wallet) from ANY reseller and not from Ledger directly, you should carefully and slowly move funds to a new device.
If you do not have a new device, you can start with a 2-of-2 multisig where your ledger is one signer and a hot wallet is another. Use that in the interim until you have another hardware device.
And in the long term, the safest way to store your self-custodied tokens remains a multisig (but not a 2/2, where loss of one key leads to loss of funds). Prefer 2/3 or 3/5.
This is incorrect. We do no longer own or operate CryptoBilis. The company was acquired earlier this year, and we fully stepped down from all operations, system access, and management. For official updates on current matters, contact Nicholas Chang ([email protected]).

🚨Abstract & Blast are shutting down: Here's what you need to do ASAP to stay safe🚨
Two major L2s have announced they're shutting down within DAYS of each other...
But the exit process, and risks, are DIFFERENT for each.
And scammers are absolutely going to take advantage of the confusion. So let's make this simple ⤵️⤵️
1/ How do I know if I have funds on either chain?
2/ What to do for Blast shutdown?
3/ What to do for Abstract shutdown?
4/ Scams to watch out for
