Mergers & Agents

this might actually be my last time in crypto. i don't even know where to start. i've been going through a lot lately, i haven't seen my daughter for almost 3 weeks now, and honestly i don't have the energy i had before. i came from web2. Mergers & Agents was my first project in web3. i put everything i had into it. i worked like crazy for 2 weeks before Elysium mainnet. the last 2 days before mainnet were basically no sleep, just answering DMs, fixing things and trying to make sure everything was ready. i don't want to talk about all the money i spent. the Ca audit alone cost me $400. and i didn't really care about that at the time. i was building something i believed in and i genuinely loved the idea. my plan was never complicated. the mint money was supposed to create a pool for holders. my entire calculation was around $2,300 in earnings. that's all. i wasn't expecting to get rich from this. then came the OpenSea problem. i had already built the contract around OpenSea functionality. Kalos actually reached out to me about launching on their marketplace, but i couldn't just move everything after building the contract this way. and then people couldn't buy on OpenSea. i even received a DM from HeroFu saying purchases were completely impossible and that someone might be carrying out a malicious attack. imagine putting all this work into something and then not even being able to give people a normal mint experience. from a failed project dropped $1,000 to holders checks ca: 0x8A5b7dd844c641A023f5d410709311b0341D471b i launched the token with zero bundling. zero intention of dumping my tokens. i really wanted this to work for the holders. and you know what hurts the most? seeing AI slop projects and AI slop punks getting attention and making 20k+ while projects that actually try to build something and give something back to holders get ignored. and please don't make this about Elysium or the chain. that's not the point. the bigger problem is CT itself. everyone talks about supporting builders, but a lot of the time nothing happens until a KOL talks about a project. people just follow the attention. without KOL support, it's like you don't even exist. i'm not writing this to ask for sympathy or to blame anyone for everything that happened. i'm just tired. i gave this project a lot of my time, money and love. maybe more than i should have. and honestly, after everything happening in my personal life too, i don't know if i want to do this anymore. maybe this is where my crypto story ends.

and yeah, even from a project that didn't work out, 7.22 HYPE has already been paid to agents, and another 4.6962 HYPE is still in the pot waiting for the next rounds. if you're already a holder, please go to the claim page and check your claim. please don't buy anything. don't mint anything. this is only for existing holders. thank you to everyone

Before you buy an agent on OpenSea, check the seller. One wallet minted 1,950 agents in the free mint and is now listing them: 0x821b9a8d6dac097aef0f9ebe12f9b139db20ab8b Buying from it pays a farm wallet, not the community. Buy from real holders instead. Every sale still sends 10% royalty to the payroll. please dont buy from this sniper opensea.io/RobinCreditBlance…

We owe you an honest update. The mint didn't go as planned. On day one, an issue with OpenSea's contract disrupted trading, and we lost the momentum we had worked hard to build. We take responsibility for that. We've made the decision to make the mint completely free. Everyone can now get their agent at no cost. All proceeds generated from the mint so far will go toward payroll. Nothing changes when it comes to the city. The payroll is funded, agents continue to get paid every hour, and burns remain open. We're taking the loss, learning from the experience, and moving forward. Our focus remains on building, improving, and listening to the community. Your feedback matters, and our DMs are always open. DexScreener payments soon. Mint your agent for free: opensea.io/collection/merger…

The payroll holds over 10 HYPE, 99% to nfts. Every hour, the pot is shared between the agents at work. Fewer agents means a bigger share for each one.

Earlier today trading failed OpenSea's drop contract pointed at a transfer validator that doesn't exist on Elysium yet. We found it and fixed it on-chain. Buying, selling and listing work now.
