Stoner Cats NFT Sale Causes 344 ETHs Lost Due to Failed Transactions

 

Another cats-based NFT project clogged the Ethereum Network on July 28 as Stoner Cats NFT sale has caused 344 ETHs or more than $700K lost due to failed transaction.

 

Stoner Cats, a cat-based NFT project by Hollywood actress Mila Kunis, went live on Wednesday, July 28th. The launch of the project was initially delayed by a day after the team found a bug in the underlying art layers. When launched, the project was able to sold all their initial collection in just 35 minutes.

According to the reports, Stoner Cats sold 10,420 NFTs at a price of 0.35 ETH each. The total amount raised through sale is counted at $8.3 million at the time of writing. But the sale created a CryptoKitties-like chaos on the Ethereum Network as NFT collectors rushed to buy the cats.

Gas prices soared as NFT collectors snapped up the first tranche of Stoner Cats. According to DeFi firm DeFiprime, ETH gas fees skyrocketed during the sale, ranging between 200 Gwei or $9.5 for a slow transaction and a 709 Gwei $33.67 for a rapid transaction.

But much more was lost due to failed transactions. According to data provided by Dune Analytics, 344 ETHs or $791,554 were lost due to failed transcations. Although, the initial Stoner Cats NFT sale is a success but the these hefty loses have somewhat paled this success. The community is blaming Stoner Cats’ dev team for writing poor contracts.
