Yuga Labs drops new game for the Bored Ape community. @yugalabs and @BoredApeYC have just launched 'Mudwater' - a @Solana-based trading card series. Bored Ape and Mutant Ape NFT holders are both eligible to claim now. Interestingly, every Mudwater card trade carries effectively a 2.5% tax which will be used to buy back $APE from the market and distribute it to holders of the new cards proportionately.

We’ve just finished a whitehat operation on an exploit discovered in Flooring Protocol. Now safely in the custody of Yuga Labs: 29 bored apes 4 mutant apes 1 bakc 2 cryptopunks 1 azuki 2 elementals 26 captains 1 moonbird 2 doodles @0xQuit, our VP of Blockchain recovered the NFTs. Will leave the details for him to go over in a separate thread. There was an exploit earlier this morning on the same protocol which had left some collections already raided. Huge shout to @coffeedev who found that by tweaking the same exploit, there was an even larger risk to other Flooring collections like BAYC and Cryptopunks. I quietly instructed our GrailsOTC trading desk to front the money and NFTs to rescue the at-risk assets from the protocol. We will work together with the protocol devs to return these assets once a solution is sorted. Could mean contract relaunches and token reassurances within that protocol - or more. But thanks to this move we were able to save dozens of assets from impacting the market and flooring protocol tokens from being compromised. bored ape yacht club

ApeChain is working with @chainlink to strengthen our infrastructure for the future. We will be migrating from LayerZero to Chainlink CCIP as our canonical cross-chain stack across the @yugalabs ecosystem, including @BoredApeYC. With CCIP as our canonical bridge, $APE, $USDC, and other key assets on ApeChain are being upgraded to a Chainlink Cross-Chain Token (CCT). This upgrade will make it easier for dApps, communities, and their assets to connect.
