Update about Cryptowalkers Public Sale and next steps ahead

Dear Walkers,

Yesterday we had to pause Public Sale as we detected a vulnerability in the contract where some people managed to mint Walkers without paying the full public price. We managed to stop this very quickly and decided to pause the sale to investigate further and make sure no additional faulty mints were made.

Luckily there were not many transactions that went through and the damage was minimal. While doing this we also had to cancel all pending and real transactions. We have gone through this list and will soon be compensating everyone for gas lost on these specific transactions.

Shortly after pausing the sale these bad actors started dumping their mints leading to the floor at one time going as low as 0.01 ETH. Shortly after this we saw a large amount of buyers coming in to sweep the floor. Soon thereafter the floor was reaching public sale price and as of writing this, about 19 hours later, the floor is now above 0.18 ETH (there is a lag on Opensea), a truly remarkable turn of events.

The demand for this project is well beyond our wildest expectations and we are truly thankful for all the support and creativity among our community members.

Next steps

After talking to the community and looking at various different options on how to move ahead we have decided to not mint the remaining 3455 Walkers from the collection. The total supply of Walkers in this collection will therefore be fixed at 6545.

Cryptowalkers is a very ambitious project with the aim set to become a leading collection and brand within the Metaverse revolution. For us this is a marathon and not a sprint. Establishing a solid foundation and a happy and motivated community is and have always been our top priority. This led us to the decision to leave the remaining 3455 Walkers unminted instead deploying a new contract, transferring over all the minted Walkers and holding yet another sale. We have enough funding to cover all our upcoming plans.

Upcoming NFT drop for all wallets owning at least 3 Cryptowalkers

As explained in our roadmap and in our latest Medium article that can be found here, we will have an upcoming NFT drop for all Cryptowalkers wallets owning at least 3 Walkers 100 days after mint. We are considering doing the drop even sooner. More info on this in an upcoming announcement.

Next steps ahead

We have already started to recruit additional 3D designers, Game Developers and Smart Contract Developers to continue work on our roadmap. First focus will be on finishing additional collections, such as the drop above but also start working on the Cryptowalkers Store and integrating our characters into various Metaverse (VR/AR) environments.

We continue our close partnership with Netvrk Metaverse where we are designing a play to earn game and have secured our own land and transports. We are also talking to several additional Metaverse projects where we are making promising progress.

Thanks to everyone who is taking part and supporting Cryptowalkers. We are very humbled with all the support and are proud to be a part of this amazing community. Much love to all of you. Onward and forward! ❤️
