HoodMiners opens Hood Launcher on Robinhood Chain, Rebate Pad lands on Uniswap's routing allowlist, Uniswap's new TJAR fee tool arrives, CannaCats V2 runs a giveaway, FREEDZ finishes its mint on OpenSea, ITIA Genesis draws 11,000 stories, a stolen Bored Ape goes home, Giga Legends unites two communities, and a reported $6.3 billion Binance hack shakes the market.
The HoodMiners team's Hood Launcher lets creators make a token, set up a Uniswap V4 pool and lock its liquidity in one transaction on Robinhood Chain. Creators keep 70% of ongoing fees, and the tool ships with anti-sniper ramps and sandwich-bot protection.
Tokens launched on Rebate Pad, a Robinhood Chain launchpad, can now be traded straight from the Uniswap app, with buys routed through its rebate pool so buyers get bonus tokens in the same swap. Community members say real trading volume will be the real test.
Uniswap Labs open-sourced TJAR, a "token jar" that collects fees in many tokens and lets searchers compete to swap them into one target asset like USDC. Robinhood was the first to plug it in, receiving its Uniswap API fees in USDC and USDG.
CashPig ran live chats and a CannaCats V2 giveaway in StreetHood's around-the-clock X Spaces for the Robinhood Chain NFT crowd. The 927-piece cat collection minted out earlier in October.
FREEDZ, 8,888 profile pictures built entirely from words submitted by the community, minted out across all its phases and did about 50 ETH in trading volume within two hours. Collector Adam Weitsman picked up 888 of them, and the full reveal is set for October 30 at 2 PM UTC.
IThinkItsArt is asking people to share a personal story for a spot in its free, whitelist-only Ethereum mint on OpenSea, and the founders say they are reading every one by hand. Applications stay open until November 18.
Adam Weitsman tracked down an ape that had been stolen and flipped several times, got the original owner's blessing to buy it, and sent extra ETH as a goodwill gesture. Holders called it one of the nicer moments in the space this week.
Giga Legends will mint only through 1:1 conversions of GLHFers on Ethereum and a points system for ROM cards on Abstract, running November 16 to December 1. Fans like the fixed supply, though some early holders grumble about the ROM point costs.
Hackers reportedly took about $6.3 billion from Binance hot wallets on October 29 after compromising an engineer's laptop, with analysts pointing to North Korean groups. About $3 billion was frozen with partners' help, withdrawals were paused for up to 48 hours, and Binance says its SAFU fund will cover user losses.
Bitcoin hit a daily low of $77,739, its first dip below $78,000 in about a month and a half, and Ethereum fell under $2,250 alongside a tech-stock selloff. More than $1.1 billion in mostly long positions were liquidated in 24 hours.
