Squiggle Celebration
Buckle up for a Chromie Squiggle finale, as the celebratory Squiggle #9999 smart contract goes live for a full week at 1:00pm ET today.
Via Snowfro:
“Everyone is welcome and encouraged to ‘sign’ the contract and participate in the farewell. Note: there will be no website and no need to connect your wallet anywhere. Anything stating otherwise is a scam.”
The smart contract is signed by sending any amount of ETH (Snowfro suggests 0.001 ETH), which is then automatically refunded and returned.

Closing Thoughts
Fairly active Sunday into Monday, especially for the Summer season.
Grab bag of 5 line item thoughts:
Love seeing Alpha Centauri Kid capture and share OTC deals
Ringers continue to leg down
Steal of an Alotta Money 1/1 meme for 1.5 WETH
Bold knows how to capture a moment and a strong 4+ ETH sale follows
Time to appreciate a week’s worth of Chromie Squiggle finale. What a journey!
