In the world of NFTs, whitelisting suggests that approved collectors can purchase a particular non-fungible token on the set date before its minting. This method helps lower gas fees and build communities organically so that bots cannot hack the system. Projects came up with different whitelisting models, and the whitelist game became one of the hottest trends.
The beauty of the whitelist game is that it encourages active participation, builds up excitement, and grows communities. In some cases, it turned 5k followers into 60k in a matter of weeks. This article dives into the craze of whitelists and how they have taken the NFT collection scene by storm.

Funds investing in blockchain gaming are managing to raise impressive capital, amounting to millions of dollars. It’s safe to say that over the next 5–10 years, guilds will seriously affect blockchain games securing preferential private investment terms.
A guild invests in a game’s seed round at a low valuation. As the game issues NFTs, guilds buy and breed NFTs, creating more demand for token/NFTs, hyping the game and raising the token price. DeFi Valder, the author of the article , believes that guilds are destined to replace early-stage VCs and traditional game publishers as the primary capital source for blockchain games.

Recently, a critical bug in the token-lending contract of the Solana Program Library (SPL) has been discovered. This blog post tells the whole story from the bug’s discovery, exploitation, coordinated disclosure, and the fix.
The total TVL at risk was about $2,600,000,000. Although a few low-value coins are not cost-efficient enough to steal, the potential profit adds up to millions of dollars. Nevertheless, the bug was fixed, and dapps updated promptly to close the vulnerability.
