Pseudonymous dealer Hanwe Chang said that he seen somebody utilizing a bot to repeat all of his trades on Blur, and formulated a plan to take benefit.
As explained by pseudonymous dealer A-Raving-Ape.eth on X, Hanwe seems to have collected NFTs from widespread artist Azuki. He then positioned extraordinarily inflated bids on all of them from a separate pockets, trying to lure the bot.
As soon as the bot blindly copied his bids, Hanwe then offered all of his Azukis at needlessly excessive costs to the bot. Whereas the highest bids for all of the NFTs have been beforehand underneath 5 ETH, Hanwe managed to promote them to the bot for 50 ETH every.
A lot of the income seem to have been moved to an Ethereum address labeled as Hanwe.eth, based on blockchain scanner Etherscan.
Gabriel Shapiro, normal counsel at Web3 improvement agency Delphi Labs, stated that the proprietor of the bot, who has the X deal with @ThinkingETH, might have an opportunity at authorized recourse.
