๐ŸŽจ Impersonators are pushing โ€œQQL mint passesโ€โ€”this phishing scam is targeting NFT veterans Recently, several accounts on X have been impersonating generative artist Tyler Hobbs and his studio, tagging users with messages like: โ€œClaim your QQL mint pass!โ€ The scam isnโ€™t new, but itโ€™s very carefully packaged ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ”น The copy borrows real details from the 2022 QQL Dutch auction, making it look like an official comeback ๐Ÿ”น The links lead straight to phishing sites that drain your wallet as soon as you connect it ๐Ÿ”น Some impersonator accounts even have verification badges, and community members have warned that these accounts can evade detection The result: Some people have already lost assets, while others were stopped at the last step by wallet security extensions. What do the official sources say? Tyler Hobbsโ€™s studio has made it clear: there is no mint currently open. Donโ€™t click links or connect your wallet. Art Blocks has also confirmed this is a scam. There is no new public mint, and existing pass holders should continue to use official channels as usual. My take: Scammers love the โ€œold IP + new perksโ€ combo because it plays on both nostalgia and fear of missing out. A verification badge no longer guarantees an account is genuine. Just remember: always check the official website for any โ€œlimited-time claim.โ€ If thereโ€™s no announcement, assume it doesnโ€™t exist. Have you ever been spammed with DMs or tags about โ€œairdrops/allowlists/free mintsโ€? How did you spot the scam?

An Interview with Manuel LariรฑoThe creative inspiration of Spanish-American artist Manuel Lariรฑo has always come from the world around him. Lariรฑo was born in La Coruรฑa, Spain. He began his professional career at an early age as an illustrator, contributing to publishing organizations such as (Esquire) magazine, record labels, and Faber & Faber. He later shifted his focus to generative art. The way he uses code is much like how he once drew with pencils and acrylic paintโ€”designing algorithms inspired by natural patterns, environmental cycles, and shaping the rhythm of everyday life.
