Dear Binance, BNB Chain, and the wider crypto community, This is an open appeal from thousands of regular retail investors and one of the most active builder communities in the industry. Together, we have 876 BNB, currently worth over $600,000, stuck in a bugged contract. The Binance “Pioneer Burn Program” was created to help recover lost BNB assets through its quarterly burn. Our contract meets every criterion for this program. 1. The tokens are BNB or supported via the Binance “Token Canal” Project. ✅ 2. The tokens were transferred to a BEP20 contract where anyone can easily verify the BNB is unrecoverable. ✅ 3. An honest mistake, well in excess of the minimum $1,000 threshold needed for the Pioneer Burn. We did our due diligence, including a $25,000 spend on a CertiK audit to avoid potential contract issues. Binance launched the program for situations just like ours and has already recovered similar amounts of BNB, such as your first-ever Pioneer Burn of 867 tokens. ✅ In the article linked below, you mention this program is designed to help early adopters just like us. We brought many innovations to BNB Chain, including new tokenomics generating tens of millions of dollars in on-chain volume. Our token value surged close to 100,000% from launch to peak, sharing $1,000,000 in revenue with our holders. We further used $2,000,000 of BNB to buy back and burn our own token. This is all verifiable on-chain at riftn.com/stats. We have spent years going back and forth with BNB Chain developers, PancakeSwap chefs, and Binance customer support. Support chat could never get us past the gatekeeper. Everyone expressed a willingness to help and verified the BNB remains unrecoverable. They further acknowledged we met all the criteria for the Pioneer Burn Program, yet no resolution came to fruition. This is our public appeal to help us achieve final BNB recovery through the incredible program Binance created for this purpose. Binance, BNB Chain, and CZ have built a community-focused brand and instilled a user-centric ethos. By getting our story out there, we believe a leading member of the Binance or BNB Chain team will recognize our situation and help us achieve a resolution. We are finishing our rebrand and contract migration, and we hope to be in a better position to launch our new token and refill our liquidity pools with BNB. We are very excited to be pioneers once again, this time through the adoption of the new high-performance L1 BNB Chain. It is our sincere hope this message finds the right pair of eyes, leading to another successful recovery story through the Pioneer Burn Program. Thank you from all of us here in the Riftn community. @binance @BNBCHAIN @cz_binance @heyibinance @_RichardTeng @thomasxchen @cydeologie @draffilog @0x02yang @Gwenole_M @nina_rong @0xDamian0x @sky3lo @weiihannng @wonggky @anamariachain @Degen_ZZ @esutalim @v_bnbchain @0xthor0 @0xsandy1913 @thesocialintern @Tronn_lyu @0xlucasliao @s_cintioli_ @zachxbt @Jong_bnb

Today I call upon the blockchain industry to calmly begin planning for "bunker mode". My personal recommendation is to set in motion a controlled mass migration of assets to fresh addresses, i.e. addresses whose pubkeys remain hidden behind a hash. Holders, starting with large and sophisticated ones, should consider moving the bulk of their funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction. And when they do sign one, they should also move remaining funds to a new address (possibly generated from the same seed phrase). Don't rush. While I believe there is cause for action a rushed migration would do more harm than good. Don't panic either. Moving assets to protected addresses is a simple, preventative step which does not require new cryptography or new wallets. IMO it is now reasonable to brace for the possibility that ECDSA breaks before qday, in the worst case in months not years. By "break" I mean fast private key recovery (e.g. in one week) on available hardware (e.g. a large GPU cluster). Recent days have been humbling for human mathematical intuition. Long-held, unquestioned hypotheses have fallen. This includes the n log(n) bound for integer multiplication and the 3SUM conjecture. In hindsight, May's unexpected disproof of the Erdős unit distance conjecture was our warning shot. Yesterday's OpenAI drop made it clear that mathematical superintelligence is upon us. They say there are weeks where decades happen. We are about to live through weeks where centuries of mathematical progress happen. Could our magic 64-byte ECDSA signatures be too good to be true? Was it just security through obscurity all this time? Elliptic curves feel especially vulnerable to superintelligence. Curves carry rich structure, with room for fancy tricks like Schoof, Frobenius, pairings. (By contrast, hashes are designed to minimise algebraic structure.) Separately, as Ewin Tang can attest, an efficient quantum algorithm sometimes foreshadows an efficient classical one. We should be open to the possibility of a classical counterpart to Shor that breaks elliptic curves and RSA at once. Also noteworthy is the striking under-representation of cryptographic breakthroughs among the 722 mathematical results OpenAI published. I've witnessed first-hand the US government censoring academic quantum cryptanalysis results. Backroom interventionism is my base case. I urge large, sophisticated actors to lead by example. Project11's "risq list" (bitcoin-risq-list.projecteleven[.]com) is a great tracker of exposed BTC pubkeys. Binance, Bitbank, Robinhood, Bitfinex, and Tether have an opportunity to harden their cold storage. Next month I'll address institutions in London in a live Q&A (forum.ethereuminstitutional[.]org/london-2026). Again, please do not rush. Wallets holding under 50 BTC enjoy partial cover from "Satoshi's shield", i.e. his 20K exposed addresses that hold 50 BTC each. Load-bearing signers like oracles and L2 security councils should consider rotating ECDSA pubkeys with every signed message and/or multi-signing with a hash-based schemes like SPHINCS. Exiting bunker mode safely will require post-AI cryptography. My inclination is to go all-in on hash-based cryptography and avoid structured mathematical assumptions entirely, whether from curves, lattices, or isogenies. A single battle-tested hash (e.g. from the SHA or BLAKE families) yields plausible post-AI security. The Ethereum roadmap on strawmap[.]org fully embraces hash-based cryptography with end-to-end formal verification as a response to the quantum threat. Those timelines must now be revisited and accelerated in light of mathematical superintelligence. I'll be pushing for maximum defensive acceleration.
