NFT Community Collaborations: What This Looks Like in Girls, Robots, Dragons (GRD)
The importance of a community cannot be overemphasized. The NFT space is rapidly evolving, and community spirit is more important than ever. Here’s how we’re doing it at GRD.
NFT scams are becoming common in the crypto world, and more people are victims of these malicious attacks. For example, Starbright, an NFT collector and member of the GRD community, recently became a victim of this crypto scam, which led to Starbright losing GRD NFTs.
However, the GRD community came to rescue quickly, and Starbright was able to recover all 40 digital art pieces. Below is a summary of how Starbright’s account was hacked.
- Starbright (@PLAYEMO) got a DM from a discord community member who claimed to want to purchase a GRD NFT for 0.07 ETH.
- The hacker suggested trading Over The Counter (OTC) using diamondtrader.io, an NFT trading website, rather than on OpenSea.
- Starbright then listed the NFT on the platform and linked it with the hacker’s cryptocurrency wallet address.
- After Starbright approved the single NFT sale, Starbright’s crypto wallet was hacked, and all the 40 NFT art pieces were stolen.
- Soon after, Starbright saw stolen NFTs listed for sale on OpenSea.
The Role Played by Girls, Robots, Dragons Community
Like anyone, Starbright also fell victim to hackers who take advantage of innocent people in the crypto market. This fact makes it necessary to be loaded with the correct information to avoid these scams.
You can listen to the latest GRD Twitter Space on how to choose safe NFTs and generally be safe when buying and exchanging your blockchain art.
Fortunately, Starbright’s story had a happy ending as the GRD community immediately sprung into action to recover all of his NFTs safely.
As soon as Starbright realised that the NFTs had been put up for sale on OpenSea, Starbright informed the community, which helped repurchase them in full.
The benefits of being in a digital art society, especially a community like GRD, are numerous, as seen through Starbright’s story. Starbright might have lost her precious cards forever if Starbright hadn’t been part of the community.
Here are a few other safety precautions to note when performing transactions.
- Limit your transactions to the approved platforms like OpenSea. Do not be tempted to use third-party applications.
- Do not open links sent by unknown people, as many of them can lead to your account being hacked.
- If you are unsure of a person’s identity, do not transact with them.
