The @CuratedApes is a private network built around a simple idea:

Owning an Ape should open doors. The brand is strong, the community is established, and many of its core holders have been here for years.

CA brings together a small, curated group of collectors from within that core, and will intentionally be kept below 50 members.

// For our members:
CA becomes a source of opportunities: preferred deals, allocations, whitelist spots, presales, private offers and access that comes from the collective reach of the group. When CA secures 20 spots for something worthwhile, we don't need a raffle among 5,000 people.

Members can simply grab them.

// For projects:
CA offers something equally valuable: direct access to a concentrated group of proven collectors. Instead of buying broad exposure and hoping it converts, they can put an opportunity directly in front of people who actually collect, buy and participate in the space.

And because the membership itself will be public, everyone gets to see who's in the room.

Build the room. The rest follows.

I've already built this tool.

Here are the results from your 'Touch the Grass' NFT mint.

Enjoy.

I'm thinking about building an NFT leaderboard platform.

- NFT Collector Rankings: SuperRare, Objkt, Tezos, etc.

- NFT Artist Rankings: Discover artists creating and selling art.

- Trading Volume: Total volume across platforms.

- Weekly, Monthly & Yearly Leaderboards.

- Top collectors, top artists, highest sales, and emerging creators.

One platform bringing the entire NFT ecosystem together through data and rankings.

Would you support a project like this?

"But it was a free mint. How can a free mint be a scam?"

Because free is never free.

There's always someone who pays. A GTD spot is just a place at the front of the line. When projects give those spots to farms, the outcome is simple: bots mint for free, then sell to the real buyers who come after them.

The farms mint for free and dump on the people who actually wanted the NFT.

The project gets the volume, the royalties, and the hype. On paper, it looks like demand. In reality, it's just farms selling to real buyers who never had a fair shot at minting in the first place.

Congrats. You're now exit liquidity.

An investigation into the @RHMintix scam:

Mintix gave out 2,706 GTD spots. We checked every wallet that used one.

They were warned. We reached out several times before launch and offered to clean their list. They ignored every message.

Here is what they launched with.

1,423 wallets minted in the GTD phase. Every one checked: full history on Ethereum and Robinhood Chain, money trails, human scores.

68% carry at least one red flag.

663 are freemint dumpers. Wallets that flip free mints within 7 days, again and again. Some have done it 12 and 15 times.

175 are serial dumpers. Batch selling as a business model.

379 wallets sit in bot clusters. Wallets moving ETH between each other, funded by the same wallets, sending their mints to the same place. The biggest: 29 wallets acting as one. 268 of them linked on Robinhood Chain itself.

392 failed the human check.

The collectors? 66.

Sixty-six wallets with a real score and zero flags. Under 5% of the list.

The data was there before the mint. Every flipper, every cluster, every dumper. We offered it. They didn't want it.

Projects that want holders verify their list.

Projects that want exit liquidity don't.
