- $ 71 Million Lost in Address Poisoning Attack 😲
In a recent cryptocurrency scam, a person lost $ 71 million in wrapped bitcoin (WBTC) due to an address poisoning attack.
What is Address poisoning?
Address poisoning involves scammers creating a wallet address that closely mimics the victim’s address.
How It Happened:
\- Hackers spam the victim with small transactions from a fake address.
\- The victim mistakenly sent funds to the scammer’s address.
Always double-check the entire wallet address while doing transactions.
Be cautious of minor transactions from unknown sources, which may be a setup for this type of scam.

- Specific recipes for generating startup ideas.
To come up with startup ideas, consider the following approaches:
- Pay attention to problems or needs that arise naturally in your life or in your industry.
- Become an expert in something valuable and consider how you could turn that expertise into a business.
- Work at a startup and learn from their successes and challenges.
- Do things that you find interesting and see if there is a business opportunity within that.
There are also several specific "recipes" that can help generate startup ideas:
- Start with what your team is especially good at.
- Start with a problem you have encountered personally.
- Think about things you wish existed but don't yet.
- Look for things in the world that have recently changed and consider how you could create value within that change.
- Look for new variations of successful companies and see if there is an opportunity to create something similar but with a unique twist.
- Talk to people and ask about the problems they face.
- Look for large industries that seem broken or inefficient and see if you can come up with a solution.
- Find a co-founder who already has an idea and see if you can work together to bring it to market.
Ultimately, the key to coming up with a successful startup idea is to experiment, innovate, and gain new skills in order to create value for your customers.

- To evaluate your startup idea, consider asking yourself the following questions:
- Do you have a "founder market fit"? In other words, is this idea something that your team is especially good at and passionate about?
- How big is the market for this product or service? Is it a large market that is already established, or a smaller market that is rapidly growing?
- How acute is the problem that your product or service is trying to solve? Do people care about this problem enough to pay for a solution?
- Do you have competition in this space? While competition is not necessarily a bad thing, it's important to consider whether your idea is unique or has a unique selling proposition.
- Do you personally want this product or service? Do you know people who would be interested in it? Talking to potential users can be a valuable way to gauge demand.
- Has something recently changed (e.g. a technological advance or regulatory change) that makes this idea possible or necessary?
- Are there established companies in a related industry that could serve as a "proxy" for your business?
- Have you been thinking about this idea for a long time? Is it scalable and feasible to bring to market?
- Is this idea within a good "idea space" – a category of closely related startups – such as software for hospitals, infrastructure monitoring, or food delivery services?
These questions are given by Jared Friedman. he is a Group Partner at Y Combinator.

- Starting a business can be challenging, and there are several common mistakes that startups often make given by Jared Friedman.
These includes:
Building something that does not solve a real problem for users.
Getting stuck on an idea that is not innovative or valuable.
Not properly evaluating the idea before committing to it.
Waiting for the perfect idea instead of taking action.
- Here is easy to understand explanation of Dynamic NFTs and advice on the best way to start your career in Web3 by Michael Robinson from @chainlink.lens
What are dynamic NFTs?
Dynamic NFTs can change based on external conditions and can update their metadata based on conditions that are pre-program
For example In gaming, as we level up our avatar updates based on pre-written gamification logic. Using blockchain that the same avatar is going to be owned by respective player in the form of NFT which will dynamically update as per game logic.
Car NFTs
Your car as your NFTs
Your metadata for your car is updated according to whatever various changes happen with the car
Your data is stored over blockchain so it’s transparent and immutable so no one can change it
This is the ability to take your physical asset and track the data connected with your physical asset in an immutable way so that it’s trustless and provable. So you can know what happens to that physical asset throughout life
Usecases of dynamic NFTs
In Gaming, play to earn game, sports game https://dreamsquestnft.medium.com/dreams-quest-integrates-multiple-chainlink-services-to-enhance-its-dynamic-nft-gaming-experience-80dda0020a2e
In Art. check this https://ogcrystals.com/
These are the few there are many usecaes in real world
Tools for dynamic NFTs
You can use chainlink, polygon, etc for creating the dynamic NFTs
You can build, deploy and sell your dynamic NFTs for that check this https://blog.chain.link/build-deploy-and-sell-your-own-dynamic-nft/

- Are you thinking about ‘How to start habits’ and ‘How to make it obvious’
Then check this 👇
The best way to start new habits
In the book, ‘Atomic Habits’ the author introduced “Habit stacking” a simple plan to overhaul your habits.
Many human behaviors follow one cycle. You often decide what to do next based on what you have just finished doing. Each action becomes a cue that triggers the next behavior
Why is this important?
When it comes to building new habits, you can use the connectedness of behavior to your advantage.
One of the best ways to build a new habit is to identify a current habit you already do each day and then stack your new behavior on top. This is called ‘Habit Stacking’.
What is the ‘Habit Stacking’ formula
The formula is = “After (Current Habit), I will (New Habit)”.
For example: After I pour my cup of tea each morning, I will meditate for one minute.
The key is to tie your desired behavior into something you already do each day. Once you have mastered this basic structure, you can begin to create larger stacks by chaining small habits together
Use this habit-staking method while you are building the new habit. This is law number 1 ‘Make it obvious from the book ‘ Atomic Habits’.
Do share in the comments where did you use this habit stacking method

- Did UI/UX course from Udacity and Learned many good insights.
This course is about the role of Product and UI/UX Design in business growth. 👇
Let's start with what is UX/UI?
#ui: User interface is made up of all the elements that enable someone to interact with a product or service.
#ux: User experience is what the individual interacting with that product or service takes away from the entire experience.
1. Ideation and Validation
- The very first step is to choose the idea or problem which you want to take away
- once you have a clear idea then develop that idea and validate your idea so that you have found that your idea is good or is not good as you thought.
- Do user research so you have a clear idea that 'What do people want?'
- Do competitor's research.
- Pick up any ideas, develop those, validate those, and refine those ideas to ensure that those are building for a product fit
2. UX/UI
- There are many different types of design. choose what you want to take away.
-learn common design elements like shape, colors, Typography, Copy, Headline, Tagline, Value proposition, Call to action, etc
- Homepage design, Signups, and onboarding, Payment forms, Notifications, User feedback, Rating, customer support, etc are important parts of the design
- Do learn about these and choose what you are going to take away
3. Design Sprint
- For the design sprint follow the below stages
- a. Understand: Clarity on the product, user needs, the market, and technical possibilities
- b. Define: Define product goal or feature (positioning, user journey, metrics)
- c. Diverge: In this stage create as many solutions as you can to the original design challenge.
- d. Decide: Deliberate about the ideas that you came up with in the previous diverge stage, refine those, and then choose the best one
-e. Prototype: Create wireframes, Mockups, and Prototypes.
-f. Validate: Test ideas with real users.
4. Key Metrics
- when you are done with the earlier steps measure with different metrics
- Net promoter score (NPS), Click-through rate, Daily Active Users, Weekly Active Users, Monthly Active Users, and Retention are some common metrics for measuring a product.
