It started with a flutter.
Then a flicker.
Then 37 Arbitrum tokens in my wallet and the growing suspicion that my ceiling fan was watching me.
This isn’t a metaphor.
This is what happens when Mothman gets into crypto.
The Drop
It was 2:00 AM and I was doomscrolling Discord when I saw the message:
“IF YOU SEE THE SIGNAL, YOU’VE BEEN CHOSEN. CHECK WALLET.”
I thought it was spam.
But then my MetaMask lit up: A fresh airdrop of $ARB.
No explanation. No tweet. No transaction hash.
Just a note that said:
“You’ve been marked. Welcome to the bridge.”
Arbitrum of the Winged Ones
Let’s get this straight: Arbitrum is a Layer 2 Ethereum scaling solution.
Fast. Cheap. Efficient.
But no one told me it was also a beacon for supernatural cryptids.
Ever since I received the Mothman Drop™:
-
My lights blink every time gas prices change
-
My fridge displays Arbitrum governance proposals
-
I saw a QR code in my toast that led to a suspicious looking bridge
-
My neighbor's Alexa started whispering “Layer two… layer true…”
I asked in the Arbitrum Discord if this was normal.
Someone named “ProphetOfTheWing” responded with:
“He sees you now.”
The Ritual of Decentralized Fear
I tried swapping the $ARB.
Failed.
I tried bridging it to mainnet.
The UI said:
“Wings not approved.”
Now my wallet shows “Pending: Forever” with a spinning moth GIF.
I woke up this morning with a DAO proposal scrawled into the dust on my monitor.
The title?
“Initiate Mothchain Migration.”
👁 How to Tell If Your Crypto Was Supernaturally Airdropped
Wondering if that free token came from a marketing campaign or an interdimensional moth entity? Check for these signs:
-
No on-chain TX record—but your balance changed anyway
-
Token name contains symbols not found on your keyboard
-
Wallet displays “Sender Unknown. Location: Appalachia.”
-
You hear flapping when opening Etherscan
-
Price chart is a perfect mirrored wing pattern
-
The coin only trades between midnight and 3:33 AM
If at any point the token asks you to “complete the binding,” close your browser and touch grass. Immediately.
🧼 Paranormal Wallet Hygiene 101
Protect yourself from supernatural blockchain events with this simple checklist:
-
Use a cold wallet stored in a circle of salt
-
Don’t connect to dApps that require a “blood sacrifice signature”
-
If your wallet address starts repeating itself, burn the hard drive
-
Avoid bridges named things like “The Abyss,” “PhantomSwap,” or “HexGate”
-
Never verify contracts that whisper
-
If the token has wings in the logo, consider spiritual protection
Bonus: Set your MetaMask to dark mode. Not for security—it just looks less cursed.
🔮 Recommended Offerings for Cryptid-Based Airdrops
If you suspect that your wallet has been touched by a cryptid—whether it’s Mothman, Bigfoot, or the ever-elusive GoatmanDAO—you’ll want to make a proper offering. Here's a guide to appease the unlisted and the uncanny:
For Mothman:
Leave a flickering smart bulb near your laptop and send exactly 3.33 $ARB to an address that appears in your dreams. Do not swat at anything with wings during this time.
For the Jersey Devil:
Burn a burner phone while whispering your seed phrase. Then wrap $DOGE in a contract titled “hoovesOnly.sol.” He appreciates satire and low transaction fees.
For Bigfoot:
Mint a gasless NFT of an untouched forest. Pin it on-chain at midnight. If you hear branches snapping outside, that’s confirmation your transaction was accepted.
For GoatmanDAO:
Send an odd number of staked tokens into a liquidity pool named something like “ForbiddenBarn.vault.” Wait for the counter-vote. He thrives on governance failure.
For the Shadow Validator:
Transfer tokens that no longer appear on CoinGecko. Sign the transaction in silence. If the wallet breathes back, you’re already in too deep.
Remember: Supernatural entities respect scarcity, fear, and high APR.
Final Thoughts from the Flickering Chain
If you get airdropped $ARB and things start buzzing—don’t panic.
It might just be the next bull run.
Or it might be Mothman, trying to onboard you to an ethereal subnet.
I don’t know what he wants.
I don’t know if the tokens are real.
But I do know this:
I’ve never felt more seen.
Goblin Wisdom:
“Not every airdrop is bullish. Some are warnings.”
