ReachMe protocol patched a vulnerability allowing a lower fee for reaching KOLs

Source Cryptopolitan

ReachMe, a paid connection platform to reach KOL accounts, has discovered a bug that allowed sending messages for a smaller fee. SlowMist discovered the bug, allowing ReachMe to retain its regular fee structure. 

The crypto world has another currency – attention. ReachMe aims to filter that demand by creating a fee-based model to reach Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs). 

Recently, the Slow Mist investigation team found a bug on ReachMe, which allowed users to reach KOLs for a much lower fee. A team of white hack hackers managed to test the bug and alert the team for patching. 

The ReachMe service launched this Thursday and has already attracted big names in the crypto space. The app focuses on verified X accounts among crypto influencers, giving them a way to tokenize their outreach. KOLs have already received outsized attention for their paid shilling of projects. For some, the reach fee may be an additional obstacle or a way to earn more from their social media clout.

ReachMe will work as a tokenless protocols, and the team has warned against any token launch announcements. The service uses BNB for its fees, with three major price tiers. All verified accounts can also alter their fees to reflect demand. Despite this, there are multiple attempts to present new tokens as belonging to ReachMe. 

Binance’s ‘CZ’ Zhao draws attention to ReachMe

ReachMe gained popularity after Binance’s founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao added a link to his profile a few days ago. Zhao picked the project for explicit endorsement and is also seen as the inspiration behind ReachMe, suggesting the idea of paying with crypto to increase the chance of a response. 

Zhao explored the idea of pay-to-reach in a recent blog, aiming to filter and limit requests and irrelevant information. Later, Zhao received the pitch for ReachMe, an already working prototype for paid communication. 

The influence of Zhao was already big on X, leading to multiple contact requests. He tested different pricing tiers on ReachMe, raising fees up to 1 BNB ($625.30) for message requests. Previously, fees of 0.1 BNB and 0.04 BNB led to a flood of hundreds of messages. Zhao explained he tried to answer as many questions as possible, though finding the task overwhelming after opening his inbox for a lower fee.

Zhao explained his goal is to set the price high enough to receive just 10 daily requests for outreach. He announced all proceeds from ReachMe will go toward supporting projects in the Binance ecosystem, or for buying tokens as a sign of support. Alternatively, the proceeds may go toward charity.

Zhao said he liked the ReachMe system, and it could be useful for multiple crypto KOLs. Similar pay-to-reach systems have been set up with fiat, but this is the first crypto-only app that has the chance of becoming the main hub for the crypto community. 

ReachMe is already hosting several tiers of KOLs, with fees starting from 0.01 BNB. The highest fee was set by @Llamaxbt, asking for 69 BNB. Medium fees range from 0.5 to 1 BNB, as Zhao is still in this category. The new service is still testing the attention of users. Some of the accounts ended up receiving advertisements, which somewhat justified the fees. 

ReachMe’s popularity and fee potential depend mostly on X account outreach. Zhao’s account has been targeted mostly for Binance’s business opportunities. The flood of messages made Zhao request shorter communication with clear points while directing requests to the Binance team for technical questions.

ReachMe is not the only service for paid influencer inboxes. Pay To Reach launched on March 24, also claiming to be inspired by Zhao’s post. The project offers point mining in addition to a paid inbox. The service, however, is still attracting KOLs and has not grown its list of influencers.

Bitcoin lost its 200-day average — but the exit started three sessions before the CPIBitcoin fell 2.5% to about $73,400 on 11 November, an 11-week low, breaking its 200-day moving average near $73,100. The 24-hour liquidation tally reached $632 to $705 million, roughly 82% of it longs. But spot ETF outflows began three sessions earlier and USDT's market cap has shrunk $6.6 billion in 60 days — the leveraged length left before the inflation print did. A double top at 81,890 and 81,080 leaves a measured target of 69,366.

Nvidia slid 7.7% after hours while AMD and Broadcom rose — the AI trade changed hands, it didn't breakNvidia closed Wednesday at 173.73, up 2.87%, then fell as much as 8.1% to 159.44 after reports that its board was preparing for a possible leadership change. The same session, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 5.7% with all 30 components higher, CoreWeave jumped 24.7% on 168% revenue growth, and Micron added 11.9%. If AI demand were being repriced, AMD and Broadcom would not be bid. This is a governance discount on one name, and 204.54 — the 200-day average — is the level that settles it.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you thinkSpot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.

Brent rose 3.3% and US crude stocks built 4.66 million barrels in the same weekBrent January settled at 95.82, up 3.3%, and WTI at 88.74, up 2.55%, after the US signalled it would not pursue a deal with Iran and attacks on Gulf shipping continued. In the same week, EIA data showed US crude inventories rising 4.657 million barrels against expectations of a 1.1 million draw, with gasoline up another 1.799 million. OPEC output also rebounded 1.96 million barrels a day to 27.16 million in October, led by Saudi Arabia at 10.56 million. This piece separates the geopolitical premium from the physical balance and lays out where each side of the trade is anchored.
