A Chainlink fan who mistakenly sent $50,000 to the wrong ETH address has received $11,000 in crypto from the community. He stated on Twitter.
Last December 11, Dawidkabani13 sent $47K worth of LINK to the smart contracts Aavegotchi, a crypto collectibles game based around the DeFi lending platform Aave.
However, Dawidkabani13 made a mistake: The ETH-based smart contract didn’t support his deposits and there was no way for Aavegotchi to give him back the money.
Because of that, Dawidkabani13 asked the community for help. Aavegotchi set up a donation page for the user on December 12, – “a father, GotchiGang Member and Link Marine” – then called the wallet “SantaGotchi.”
“Many of us have had our own learning experiences with crypto, and this can easily be shrugged off as another case of “lesson learned.” BUT just because this situation is not amendable on a technical level, doesn’t mean we as a community, in the spirit of charity and goodwill, can’t do something kind for this poor chap,”
Aavegotchi – December 12
Jesse Johnson, the co-founder of Aavegotchi said this past Sunday that he had received $11,000 on Christmas day from around 200 deposits.
There is still no update on how much he has received since then. But anyone who donated over $20 will receive a free virtual hat.
