The Concerns and Actions Surrounding Atomicals Market
The recent events at Atomicals Market (AM) have raised significant concerns within the community, particularly following a major security breach in two of its trading markets. This breach resulted in hacker attacks and substantial losses for users, sparking discussions and demands for action.
Shep.eth Takes the Initiative
Shep.eth, an early participant and active community member, stepped forward to address these issues directly with the AM team. In a detailed letter to the community, shep.eth focused on the response and resolution efforts, representing the interests of affected users and the community.
Significant Developments and Changes
As a result of these discussions, several significant developments have taken place. The founder of AM, @BRC20Coins, has stepped down from any management role, making way for an anonymous individual who is a friend of shep.eth to become the new CEO. This leadership transition aims to prevent similar issues in the future.
The new team has also committed to compensating the total of 33,000 $ATOM lost in recent ‘zero-dollar purchase’ events within a week after the transition. Additionally, AM plans to overhaul its operational and development teams to enhance testing processes and improve asset safety, user experience, and communication.
A Community-Focused Future
Despite not being involved in AM’s management or decision-making, shep.eth will continue contributing as a community member and a friend of the new CEO. They emphasized the community’s vital role in the protocol’s development and expressed hope for AM’s future under new leadership.
Atomicals Protocol Responds
Atomicals Protocol issued a response clarifying their position on the security issues. They denied claims of negligence and explained that they had warned AM against the use of SIGHASH_NONE signatures due to associated risks. The protocol emphasized their commitment to user safety and trust, asserting their independence from Atomicals Market and other projects.
Hot Take: A Positive Turn for Atomicals Market
