07312021: Here’s the latest community update regarding the Chainswap hack and several action items we plan to implement as part of the recourse to rectify the situation.

This is a follow-up to our initial post regarding the Chainswap hack, so for those of you who did not read that update, please catch up on the situation by reading that first here.

After carefully discussing the situation internally with our management team and advisors, and to stop the hacker from liquidating the stolen $ROCKS tokens at the expense of our community members and backers, we decided to forfeit the old token $ROCKS contract on Ethereum (0x92ece48522e1acbcda4aaa8c2fbf2aa9fb15d624) and create a new token ($ROCKI) contract on Ethereum for the ROCKI project, and Airdrop the new token to all token holders on ETH and BSC. This new ROCKI token has now officially replaced the old $ROCKS token, which is now abandoned formally.

Moving forward, we are happy to announce that we have created the new token $ROCKI contract (0xff44b937788215eca197baaf9af69dbdc214aa04) on Ethereum on July 22th, 2021. The new $ROCKI token is an ERC20 token. It is now the only official token for the ROCKI project (www.rocki.app). We have also airdropped the new tokens to addresses holding more than 5 (five) $ROCKS on ETH and/or BSC prior hack on a 1:1 basis.

For all $ROCKS token holders on BSC, you can find your new $ROCKI tokens at your Ethereum wallet of the same public address.

All Exchanges that traded $ROCKS, are in the process of replacing it with the new $ROCKI token, which will automatically show up in your trading accounts momentarily. Liquidity has been re-added to Uniswap, currently close to $1M USD. Pancake + Burger + Ape Swap to follow in the near future.

Furthermore, Coin Market Cap and Coin Gecko are in the process of updating the new official token ticker ROCKI on their price tracking websites as well.

For LP holders of $ROCKS related trading pairs on Burgerswap (ROCKS/BNB, ROCKS/BURGER) and Pancakeswap (ROCKS/BNB), we have airdropped the new $ROCKI token base on your proportion of the LP based on the following form below. We have also airdropped correspondent BNB to Pancakeswap LP holders to the wallet addresses. We will airdrop BNB and BURGER to Burgerswap LP holders shortly also. Please stay tuned.

If you found an error on the Airdrop or have a question, please do not hesitate to contact us by email (support@rocki.app) or in our official Telegram group. Our team is standing by to assist.

Please note, $ROCKS tokens stored by previous artists on the Rocki.app platform wallet, were unaffected and those tokens are SAFE. These will also be replaced 1:1 with the new ROCKI tokens.

We are in the process of finding a new partner to bridge $ROCKI from ETH to BSC, and we’re also considering creating our own asset bridge as well to bridge other future supported chains. We are planning to launch the details of the new bridge in the coming weeks. We will make sure the new bridge is thoroughly tested and security audited to be as safe and secure as possible for our users. Please stay tuned for more info on this matter in the near future.

Once again, we appreciate the overwhelming support from the community on this unfortunate matter. We are always here to hear your concerns, and we are committed to continuing to “BUIDL” a great product to benefit both artists and music fans and our community members. We’re are incredibly proud of our internal team at ROCKI for acting so swiftly in regards to this Chainswap hack and acting accordingly, which prevented the hacker from liquidating his stolen tokens at the expense of you, our real true supporters.

Team ROCKI 🤘
