Latest Akutar Mint Pass News
AkuDreams announced estimated airdrop and refund times in a tweet Saturday. The Akutars are set to be sent to minters Sunday, pending an audit, the project said. Refunds (an estimated 4,668.5 ETH) will be issued Monday or Tuesday from the Aku Chapters treasury. Aku Chapters was a series of short animated work predating the Akutars. AkuDreams reportedly earned more than $60 million from the Aku Chapter series and Akutar Mint Passes, according to a story in Cointelegraph.
AkuDreams is issuing the refunds after more than $34 million was locked in the Akutars contract due to an exploit.
A thread posted by @0xBender states that approximately $45 million has been "locked up in the AkuDreams contract" due to a "griefing exploit" during today's drop. The exploiting wallet allegedly left this message that can be read via Etherscan.
@AkuDreams acknowledged the exploit in this tweet posted 15 minutes later, advising holders, "Do not interact with the contract."

Akutars, a collection of NFT avatars by Micah Johnson, had sold out the remaining 5,500 of their NFTs in a Dutch auction earlier today. The final resting price to mint was 2.1 ETH, and users who had minted at a higher price were to be refunded the difference prior to the exploit. Bidders who had an Akutar Mint Pass at the time of the snapshot paid 1.6 ETH.
