Crafty Canines
With these funds, I will be able to hire a professional UI designer to develop SEIGuide.xyz. Crafty Canines will serve as everyone's guide dog on SEI. This website will act as a comprehensive resource for newcomers, providing all the necessary information for seamless onboarding to the SEI blockchain.

## A Little About Me

Hi, I'm Kryme.

I've been involved in crypto since early 2016, initially using Bitcoin for online purchases. I even experimented with mining Bitcoin back in 2013 but didn't think much of it at the time. As my interest in crypto grew, I learned about Ethereum and bought 100 ETH at around $19 each, only to sell them at a loss for $13 each—one of my biggest mistakes in crypto.

## Mining and Dignity Coin Scam

In 2017, I started ETH mining and following calls from Ronnie Moas. One call, Dignity Coin, made outrageous claims about mining revenue and mining, which raised a red flag for me. When I tried to expose it as a scam, I faced doxing and hate. Eventually, the FBI opened a case, and I provided evidence. This is finally aging well, with the CEO finally facing trial on June 17th. This incident led to my passion of looking deep into projects for red flags.

## Exploration in NFTs and DeFi

For the next five years, I dabbled in NFTs, DeFi, and general web3 activities like many others. I narrowly avoided disaster by withdrawing 95% of my funds from FTX and Celsius a month before their collapse.

## Discovery of SEI and Launch of Seifari Explorers

Then I discovered SEI. Intrigued by the tech stack, I joined the WeBump chat and saw a thriving community. However, onboarding to the chain was challenging due to a lack of information on wallets, exchanges, swaps, and marketplaces. So, I compiled all this info and created [seitools.xyz](https://seitools.xyz). Along with my good friend Rage, we launched our own project and community, Seifari Explorers.

## Tools Developed for Seifari Team

While on the Seifari Team, I developed several tools, including:

1. **Token-Gated Pre-mint Rarity Checker** ([seirarity.xyz](https://seirarity.xyz))
2. **Holder snapshot Discord bot**
3. **Token balance Discord bot**
4. **Rarity Checker Discord bot**
5. **Discord bot to gather NFT collection rarities from a token_uri and deploy it to [seirarity.xyz](https://seirarity.xyz)**

Additionally, as part of the Seifari team, I helped launch a number of other NFT projects and provided metadata auditing services for them.

A public version of the rarity tool can be found [here](https://rarity.seifari.xyz)

## Reputation in the Ecosystem

Some might label me as toxic or a troll in the ecosystem because I frequently call out questionable projects. However, I do this because I genuinely care about the ecosystem and want to see it thrive as a top layer 1 chain. Many people I've helped in the WeBump dev-chat or through DMs can attest to this.

## Daring Dragonz Incident

My confrontational stance came to a head with Daring Dragonz. After calling them out post-pre-sale, I faced significant backlash. This experience made me realize that as a founder, I couldn't jeopardize Seifari Explorer holders. I began an exit strategy, ensuring all the code and tools I created were handed over to the team without accepting any payment. I even offered to host everything until a new developer was in place.

## Post-Seifari Activities

After leaving Seifari, I continued investigating and exposing questionable activities on the SEI chain. I won't delve into those details here.

## Crafty Canines Deployment

Crafty Canines holds the distinction of being the first mint on the EVM side of SEI. Driven by the release of Lighthouse V2, I swiftly took action to ensure this achievement. Diving into the WeBump dev chat, I sought assistance for deploying the contract. Opting for a free mint, I set the royalties at 10%. However, this decision caused delays due to a bug in Lighthouse V2, which couldn't handle royalties above 10%. After overcoming this hurdle, the collection was released.

With no prior social media presence or strategic plan, I whitelisted 10,000 addresses from top collections and started promoting Crafty Canines in the [S3 Discord](https://explorer.gitcoin.co/?ref=blog.sei.io#/round/1329/4/43) and on my personal Twitter. Within 24 hours, 420 Crafty Canines were minted. Despite this success, bugs persisted. The EVM side did not pick up these mints, prompting the need for a new contract. With help from Davy and Nat from Pallet, the new contract was deployed, and all holders received their Crafty Canines via an airdrop.

Next, I focused on the artwork. I searched the S3 Discord and enlisted the help of [Tosh](https://explorer.gitcoin.co/?ref=blog.sei.io#/round/1329/4/2). Together, we developed traits to honor the top SEI v1 collections, along with 13 unique 1-of-1 pieces celebrating special projects and people within the ecosystem. Wen reveal? Soon.

## Moving Forward

Crafty Canines not only marks a technical milestone but also represents my dedication to the SEI ecosystem, combining creative vision with community collaboration to create a unique and celebrated NFT collection. 

Our goal is to help showcase, promote and grow SEI and other projects on the network. With this vision in mind we have already provided free airdrops to our holders. Our first airdrop included 420,000 $POPO tokens from [POPO The Cat](https://explorer.gitcoin.co/?ref=blog.sei.io#/round/1329/4/14). This would not have been possible without the help of DecoderDev from [Massdrop](https://explorer.gitcoin.co/?ref=blog.sei.io#/round/1329/4/22).

Our second airdrop included 70,000 $MEOW tokens from [Katz Labs](https://explorer.gitcoin.co/?ref=blog.sei.io#/round/1329/4/35) who has been building out permissionless staking, raffle and gaming platforms.

*Both of these airdrops also wouldn't be possible without Jughead from the SEIYAN token team.*

So, what's next?

I aim to advance my original vision of [seitools.xyz](https://seitools.xyz) through a new website - SEIGuide.xyz - to create a comprehensive resource for newcomers to find and learn everything they need to use and develop on SEI. Alongside this, I will continue to scrutinize new projects on our chain, ensuring transparency and integrity.
