Drained $5.6B from Binance using bleeding-edge EIP-7702 batch signatures.
Caught because MetaMask default-selected "pay gas with USDT" and logged their IP on ConsenSys servers.
You couldn't write a better script:
- Wallet had 1.75B USDT and 2 native ETH ready for gas.
- In a panic, the operator blindly clicked confirm without noticing MetaMask's smart gas station.
- MetaMask relayer paid the ETH, charged 127 USDT, and logged the raw client request on their backend API.
Advanced chain exploitation defeated by Web2 frontend UX.
One more thing to avoid.
The Binance $5.6B drain is a masterclass in modern EVM exploitation.
It wasn't a complex logic bug. It was an EIP-7702 delegation hijack:
1. Setup: Attacker funds 0x7c86 via Tornado Cash, deploys a sweep contract (0x63e8), and runs three live dry-runs on external wallets.
2. Execution: Attacker submits an EIP-7702 batch with 50 pre-signed authorizations (nonce n to n+49) to hit Binance 14's moving nonce window.
3. One authorization hits. Instantly, Binance 14 (an EOA) is reprogrammed to run the attacker's contract bytecode.
4. Execution looks totally organic: Binance 14 sweeps itself clean. Internal threshold alerts don't trigger because, from the nodes' perspective, the hot wallet is just executing its own transaction.
5. Binance 16 immediately auto-refills 28,000 ETH due to automated treasury rebalance scripts, feeding the exploit loop.
The cold truth: you cannot forge an EIP-7702 delegation list.
For this to execute, the attacker already held the raw private key or unconstrained signing access to Binance 14's HSM/KMS.
But hey, 5.64 billion drained across ETH, BTC, and Tron. 2.54 billion frozen by Tether, Circle, Ripple, and World Liberty within hours.
Code is law until the stablecoin admin keys log in.
Binance got bailed out by the very centralized choke points the cypherpunks warned you about.
Hardware wallets leak your home address.
Centralized exchanges leak the keys to the kingdom.
Self-custody on native, non-delegated chains remains the only honest baseline.
At least you know what to avoid.

The limitation of creation is giving something a definition. What if you just followed whatever came to mind…and see where the flow takes you…. God’s rhythm

So many still see math as science, and that's why they find it hard. But what if I told you math is art in its most psychotic form?
Let's make a piece. Start with a circle.
(A=pi r^2). Pi is constant. Change (r), and the circle grows or shrinks.
Now give it a home. The center is (c_x,c_y).
A single circle isn't interesting, so let's create 80.
For the (i)th circle,
[theta={2pi * I}/{80}]
Now every circle has its own angle.
Its position becomes
[x=c_x+Rcos(theta)] [y=c_y+Rsin(theta)]
Now let's animate them.
Replace the radius with time.
[R(t)=200+40sin(t+theta)]
Every circle now breathes, but because each one has a different angle, they don't all breathe together.
Let's turn the ring into a wave.
[y=y+60sin(5theta+t)]
Now make the circles smaller the farther they are from the center.
[ r_i=frac{20}{1+d}]
where (d) is the distance from the center.
Or make them explode outward.
[R(t)=R_0+vt] Or spiral forever.[R=a+theta]
Now every new circle is slightly farther from the last.
We only described relationships.
The artwork isn't the circles.
The artwork is the equations that decided where every circle should exist, how large it should become, when it should move, and how it should relate to every other circle.
People think math is for solving problems.
I think math is beautiful

I don’t regret the pieces that didn’t work.
I regret the ones I almost never made.

I never knew how to draw.
I used to envy people who could.
What fascinated me instead were patterns, numbers, and calculation.
I just didn’t know they could become art.
I still remember being asked, “What’s your talent?” Truth is, I still don’t know how to answer that.
What I did know was that I loved patterns, logic, and calculation.
Before Ordinals, I never imagined code could become art. I couldn’t even program. Then I discovered early generative art on Bitcoin especially the collections from @vivid_ordinals Gallery. I was never really into PFPs, but @OnChainMonkey fascinated me because of its technical achievements.
So I challenged myself.
What’s a better way to learn than by building something?
That’s how GWGBot started, and eventually evolved into @p5pepte .
Creating P5Pete was one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done. My friends looked at it and bluntly called it ugly.
Maybe they were right.
But I’ve realized something, when you genuinely love making something, you keep creating anyway. You don’t stop because a few people don’t understand it. You let the work exist, and you let everyone else decide what it means.
Maybe that’s all art has ever been.

P5pete has mastered the art of looking mysterious while teaching you rectangles.
Might start posting code like;
// still figuring out life()
and watch the engagement go up 😂

The holders snapshot for P5Pete was taken 5 days ago 📸
If your wallet held a P5Pete at that time, you’re eligible to claim in Stage 1 of the A Piece of Me mint by @ifxscript.
Mint date this Friday - stay ready
