Two Things on the Same Day

There was a party in Los Angeles that day. The studio and The Tiger Archives joined forces during NFT LA to gather people in one place: unlimited beer, unlimited tacos, and a beer-pong tournament. The industry's excitement was tangible that night.

There was a party in Los Angeles that day. The studio and The Tiger Archives joined forces during NFT LA to gather people in one place: unlimited beer, unlimited tacos, and a beer-pong tournament. The industry's excitement was tangible that night.

That same day, another story arrived from across the world: the $620 million theft from Axie's Ronin bridge was disclosed—six days after the hack. The bridge had been empty for six days without anyone knowing. Blockchain-game security became an industry-wide focus overnight. The studio rechecked its contracts and multisig permissions through the night; after the party ended, the permissions table remained open until dawn.

The Night Watchman said in the group: a blockchain game's wallet is its true health bar.

The author often thought afterward about that day's layout: celebration in the first half, inventory in the second. This industry never gives you an order of events; it packs both into the same date and leaves you to divide your attention.
