I want to clear a few things up, because two very different stories are getting blended together. First, the card dashboard incident from Oct 5 is real. Someone accessed cardholder KYC data, and we take that seriously. It's right that people are talking about it. Funds were safe, and affected users have been notified. If you hold a Based card, please stay vigilant, as phishing attempts may use your real details. We will only contact you through in-app support. Any DM on X or Telegram claiming to be Based support is a scam. The AI dashboard story being reshared alongside it is a separate incident from back in March. That one was discovered by one of our die-hard users, who was always digging through our site to see what we were building next. It was an internal OpenClaw dashboard the team was experimenting with. It was never public-facing or launched. He flagged it, we shut it down, rotated the keys, and thanked him for catching it. The keys were for our internal AI gateway with usage caps. Card dashboard was kept separate. We recognize that even internal experiments need to be handled with the right level of care. We appreciate the user who brought it to our attention, and we take these situations as opportunities to improve. - We've been through similar situations before, and each time, we've tried to clarify what happened. We understand that trust takes time to build, and people have every right to ask questions and expect clear answers from us. What makes these situations difficult is that even after the facts are clarified, the original posts often continue to circulate while the follow-up receives much less attention. We hope to get the full context across this time, and we'll continue to be open and clear whenever concerns arise. - I also want to share a bit about how we've grown and where we're headed. Based has been listed in Hyperliquid's docs since the early days, and we're proud to be featured on their site. But our growth hasn't come from the docs alone. Builder Codes were designed to help teams bring new users into Hyperliquid, and that's what we've focused on: introducing people to the ecosystem who might not otherwise have joined. We're continuing to explore new ways to grow across Web2 and Web3, including community-led initiatives and UGC. Our goal is to keep bringing new users into the ecosystem while building products that give them more reasons to stay. We know trust is earned through actions, not words. We'll keep listening, improving, and building.
