The Revelations from Zachxbt

On a fateful Wednesday, blockchain sleuth Zachxbt took to Twitter to unveil a saga involving TreasureDAO’s front-end engineer, Just Cheese, or JC. This suspenseful thread unraveled a tale of alleged entanglements with defunct NFT projects that raised more eyebrows than a botched eyebrow waxing. Zachxbt clarified his detective work had traced 134.66 Ether (ETH) flowing into JC’s wallet, originating from several NFT projects that have since faded into the digital ether.

What is TreasureDAO?

For those unacquainted, TreasureDAO is a decentralized ecosystem lounging cozily on Arbitrum, primarily catering to metaverse projects. Think of it as the internet café for NFTs, with its native token, MAGIC, serving as the primary currency. So while JC may have built some fancy doors for the café, the kitchen might have been busy with a few rotten meals on the menu.

JC’s Journey Through the NFT Wilderness

The story dates back to November when JC casually threw his wallet address into the TreasureDAO Discord. Little did he know, this would lead to a full-on investigation into his financial past. The wallets traced back to projects like Mutant Cats, ZombieToadz, and Yuta/YYYY, which, according to Zachxbt, went suspiciously quiet after launch—similar to a magician’s disappearing act, but with a lot more money involved.

Official Responses and Community Reactions

Responding to the thread, the TreasureDAO team issued a statement, attempting to exonerate JC from being a potential wrongdoer. They admitted that JC “did some UI/FE work for a few projects created by these bad actors on a contract basis,” but insisted that he had moved on by the time those projects collapsed like a house of cards in a windstorm. Talk about a CYA moment!

As community sentiments swirled like confetti at a New Year’s party, some users were more forgiving than a cat with a furball issue. Cryptopantone, a vocal member and moderator, reaffirmed JC’s contributions to Treasure, while advising others to draw diagrams mapping out Treasure-related projects. What is it with techies and their diagrams?

Accountability and the Future of TreasureDAO

In the spirit of transparency, a user in the Discord suggested hiring Zachxbt for an “internal background check” on their wallets to get to the bottom of things. Because if there’s one thing the crypto world loves, it’s a good fire drill to clarify anything that even remotely resembles shadiness.

While opinions remain divided, the saga emphasizes the importance of accountability within decentralized organizations. Or, in simpler words—when it comes to money, trust is great, but verification is better. Welcome to the clumsy dance of decentralized finances!
