Semenchuk's thoughts

Cat Tycoons Five cats who sized you up and remain unimpressed. They have owned the city for ages; nobody thought to ask. Five cats who hold the deed to your house. What's inside: Uncommon — Street Intern Rare — The Ginger Agent Epic — Investor in a Robe Mythic — The Magnate Legendary — The Cat Emperor

🏄 60 days. One wave. 11,000,000 $HOLDER on the line. Stay on the board.

🎂 City Holder is 2! Two years ago today, City appeared on an endless map. Different for everyone, yet familiar — and full of ambition. Today it's a city you built yourselves: with its own districts, its own rules and its own legends. You've seen it every way there is — modest and wealthy, empty and crowded, growing and thriving. You carved it up in faction wars, rebuilt it from the ground up more times than anyone can count, and turned it into what it is now. Thank you for being with us these two years. Without you, City would be just a dot on the map — or a single bit lost in an ocean of data. 🧡 ☀️ And on August 3rd the city opens a new season — Beach Party. Summer's only getting started.

Funds from the ChainConnect incident have been returned What happened On 26 July 2026 the ChainConnect bridge (chainconnect.com) was compromised. Bridge operations were paused immediately. Approximately $650,000 was drained from the bridge contracts in 23 transactions across four networks: Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche C-Chain and Polygon. The attacker swapped the stolen assets into each chain's native token and consolidated the full amount into ETH at 0xd86cbc1892bfda05f3d7e6c17c71709b6ae957a5. Terms of the agreement On 28 July ChainConnect sent an on-chain message to that address from the bridge deployer 0x68d447e2a4c6e7c1945725939a0cbcb4a67f9b30. The terms: keep 15% as a whitehat bounty, return 85% to the project, public written acknowledgement as a whitehat, no civil claims and no independent identity-attribution efforts by ChainConnect. The offer stood until 31 July, 23:59 UTC. Return transaction Time: 18:30:59 UTC, 30 July 2026 From: 0xd86cbc1892bfda05f3d7e6c17c71709b6ae957a5 To: 0x840B3De19e3FAB72fa9A168bD8Dd71B678c57989 Amount: 280 ETH (85% of the agreed total) Tx: 0xe78bfae09b6b8fab1057f472f605044dea8d066b73e5012837050a5bc6d6eb00 Confirmation from ChainConnect "ChainConnect confirms that the controller of 0xd86cbc1892bfda05f3d7e6c17c71709b6ae957a5 has fulfilled the agreed return terms for the ChainConnect bridge incident of 26 July 2026. We confirm receipt of 280 ETH to 0x840B3De19e3FAB72fa9A168bD8Dd71B678c57989 in tx 0xe78bfae09b6b8fab1057f472f605044dea8d066b73e5012837050a5bc6d6eb00. The retained amount is acknowledged as the agreed whitehat bounty. ChainConnect considers its commitments under the agreement fulfilled and the matter resolved with the controller of 0xd86cbc1892bfda05f3d7e6c17c71709b6ae957a5." ChainConnect, 31 July 2026 The investigation The case was handled by the AML Crypto investigations team. From the first hours after the compromise we mapped the fund flows across all four networks, traced the swaps and consolidation, and identified the attacker's addresses. The funds came back a full day before the offer expired – rather than being dispersed further through mixers and swap services. Fund flow graph in Bholder https://bholder.amlcrypto.io/shared/b1e47a79189345c3a1ecf87c08d2fa1d We work incidents like this from hour one: tracing, attribution, exchange outreach, recovery negotiation. @amlcrypto

🏁 The snapshot is done. Standings are locked. At 10:00 PM progress froze — the rankings are counted, the results are final and not up for review. Everything you managed to grind made it into the tally. The winner is official: the city goes to the Esparza family. 👑 Congratulations to everyone who stood under their flag — and hats off to those who fought to the very last minute against them. 🎁 Rewards are already on the way. Everyone who was part of a faction gets a reward for taking part — keep your notifications on, we'll reach you soon. If a prize takes a couple of hours, don't worry — it'll get to all of you. Thank you for this season — you made the finale. 🙌 Your feedback has been heard: next season the Faction War will be more exciting, more accessible and more transparent. The city has a new owner. For now — it belongs to the Esparzas.

A fiesta of a house in true Barcelona-modernisme spirit: flowing forms, cool white lime plaster and big glossy trencadís tiles — cobalt, emerald, turquoise — running along the cornices, window surrounds and sculpted chimneys. A giant paella sizzles over an open fire in the yard, a wrought-iron bull weathervane spins above a little sandy arena, a flamenco guitar dozes against the wall, and a serpentine mosaic bench curls around the plinth. Come kick-off, the house pulls on a colossal red-and-yellow scarf and out-cheers the whole street. ⚙Chat | ⚙ YT | 💬 X
