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.

Set up your profile at We'll continue highlighting members of our community like @dippylvs, dedicated to building across Otherside and ApeChain 🦍💙

Lots of Aqua apes giving me the stink eye for always posting Orange background apes. Felt I needed to show a little ❤️ today to them too :) Special thanks to @_PPMan_ @0xQuit and @GrailsOTC for your help in making this deal happen tonight and to @Nxn_nft123 for being an amazing steward to this golden grail. You are all appreciated !

Meet the builders ON APECHAIN The ApeChain Rolodex is live with dozens of community profiles ready to explore. Create your profile, get discovered by the community, and connect directly with builders, creators, and collaborators from the Ape ecosystem.

THE CUBE IS NOW LIVE ON APE CHURCH Our newest game, built with @GM_DFZ, climb the leaderboard for a Gimboz NFT, 8.3M GP and 20 rare Holographic Ghost Machines across the top 10

Today I decided to sell my golden ape. Glad it went to the best collection in our space. No less than @AdamWeitsman. Pleasure doing business as always sir. I applaud your conviction. Special thanks goes out to @GrailsOTC @0xQuit and @SignoreGondi. 🫡 @BoredApeYC

MUDWATER POKER, TOMORROW NIGHT A poker tournament where the buy-in is one pack of Mudwater, the BAYC card game, and the top 3 take every pack in Hosted with @TheeHustleHouse and @FundyApe3659, 9PM ET

continuing to build out the Style pillar of bayc the next release in our anchor drop series features a collaboration with uchi these limited release collabs aim at positioning bayc for bigger future moves p dope to see uchi's take on the club

So far 20 people have signed up. That means 1st place will take home at least 10 packs of Mudwater. Buy-in is 1 pack of Mudwater. Who else wants to play? Wednesday night @ 6pm PT

gm gm here we go again. This morning somebody abused a bug in ApeStr to swap 21 apes for 21 ApeStr-owned apes. This was a known exploit (see the SQUIGSTR exploit from ~1 year ago) but incentive to run it was never there. The bug lies in buyTargetNFT: it forces a strategy contract to send arbitrary calldata to any target. Afterwards it checks only three things: its BAYC balance rose by exactly 1, it owns expectedId, and "cost" equals its ETH balance drop. This was patched in later NFTStrategy releases, but affects the original 6 (PunkSTR not affected). The attacker bought 2 BAYC to use as bait. Using a helper contract, they prep the strategy contract by selling an ape to it for 5 wei and immediately buying it back for 6 wei. That primes the contract's ethToTwap with 6 wei. They then call buyTargetNFT and pass the calldata to transfer an ape from ApeSTR to the helper using safeTransferFrom. This in turn hands execution over to the helper (remember, safeTransferFrom is NOT safe), which transfer TWO apes back to ApeSTR to satisfy the balance check (1 out, 2 in leaves ApeSTR at +1). It also calls processTokenTwap, which converts the 6 wei, setting the cost of one of the newly deposited apes to 7 wei (6 * 120%). The helper contract buys it back in the same tx. example flow: - Attacker has BAYC #1# and #2#. ApeSTR has BAYC #3#. - Attacker "sells" BAYC #1# to ApeSTR for 6 wei and sends BAYC #2# to it for free, but steals BAYC #3# in the process. - ApeSTR relists BAYC #1# for 7 wei, which the attacker buys. - Attacker now has BAYC #1# and BAYC #3#, and ApeSTR has BAYC #2# (but doesn't even know it). The attacker ran this for all 21 BAYC in the ApeSTR contract, resulting in them being able to claim packs for all of those BAYC. Total net proceeds: $14k. This previously affected SQUIGSTR because of their shared contract - any art blocks NFT sent in would satisfy the balance check, allowing the attacker to drain the contract of squiggles in exchange for basically valueless art blocks NFTs. It was known to be possible on ApeSTR as well, so I guess it was just a matter of time before we saw it happen. The unfortunate consequence is that now, ApeSTR has 21 apes that it is completely unaware of, so they cannot be bought from the contract. And 210 attacker-owned mudwater packs were dumped into bids.
