Hey, and welcome back to another issue of NFToday!
A quick proposal before hopping into today's issue.
I'm on the hunt for partnerships/collaborations! If you're a web3 builder looking to expand, I'm in the same boat and would love to connect.
If interested, please fill out this form, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible:
Thanks frens, now on to the news!
In today's newsletter:
Premint Compromised!
To the moon :)
This artist just got hacked...
Don't Touch Premint...
Yesterday morning, the popular wallet address collection site known as Premint was compromised by hackers!
At the time of writing, this is an ongoing issue that Premint is currently investigating. It's best to just ignore the site altogether!
Prior to the hack, Premint has helped a great abundance of projects, some of the most notable include:
Moonbirds
Grifters (XCOPY)
DeeKay Motion
For those not too educated on wallet security, here's a tip:
NEVER sign any transactions that claim "set approvals for all," a great majority of these transactions are malicious. Approving a transaction like this would give the scammer direct access to your token approvals, allowing them to steal your NFTs.
Here's an even better tip:
Get a hardware wallet.
If you own ANY crypto or NFTs, I highly recommend getting yourself one. I use a Ledger Nano S Plus, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! If you don't already have one, you can pick one up here:
Stay safe out there frens!
The pump we deserve!

Following ETH's $1,300 breakout, the coin hasn't stopped rising!
After just a few hours of price consolidation, ETH had another batch of those sweet, bullish candles!
At the time of writing, ETH is trading just below $1,500.
Holding these levels is extremely essential if we expect to see a continued rise in price.
Other price action:
Bitcoin surpassed $22,000
Solana surpassed $40
Polkadot surpassed $7
Things are looking up frens!
DeeKay has been hacked...
The well-known NFT artist and animator behind "Let's Walk" had his Twitter account compromised.
As a result, more than $150,000 of digital assets were drained due to malicious transaction requests made via the hacker's fake mint site.
DeeKay went on to publish a thread addressing everything that was going through his mind while this was happening:

My Twitter was hacked. 😪— DeeKay (@deekaymotion)

The thread also addressed that he's not sure if reimbursement is the way to go, as many who've claimed to have had their assets stolen are blatantly lying.
Twitter hacks are really difficult to spot, especially when scarcity and FOMO adds to the equation. Be sure to take note of the domain and website!
Another reason to get a Ledger...
I'll keep you updated as the story unfolds!
Tweet of the day
Any meaningful goal takes more time than you think.
Setbacks are more frequent than you expect.
Life happens much faster than you imagine.
Know what you want, then don’t waste time.
