This morning, I was shocked to see a bunch of cryptocurrency Twitter accounts being banned, especially the official and community accounts related to GMGN, such as @gmgnai, @Wolfy_XBT, @0xCryptoWizard, and @ElizaOS, all of which have been banned for unknown reasons. The GMGN official team is actively contacting X for recovery.

⸻ What we know 👀

1/ This wave of bans not only affects GMGN but also multiple meme/web3/AI Agent accounts. What rule did Twitter trigger? The investigation is still ongoing.

2/ GMGN founder Haze has stated through Telegram that the official team is working hard to communicate for account recovery, and operations are not affected.

3/ What to do after an account is banned?

• First, confirm whether you received an official notification or reason for the ban

• Prepare proof of account ownership: registration email, screenshots of historical tweets, multi-factor authentication, etc.

• Immediately contact X support (@XSupport) and attach the appeal form and evidence

4/ **If the project is hijacked, the consequences are even more severe!** Once a phishing link is out, it can instantly lead to a loss of funds. So it is essential to practice the “rescue process in case of account loss” in advance.

⸻ Cryptocurrency safety rules and fire drills 👀

5/ 🔑 Regular fire drills to conduct in the cryptocurrency space:

• Create a contact list: X support, community managers, core team members

• Clearly outline folders: including login information, registration email, linked phone/2FA, identification documents

• Role division: Who is responsible for the appeal? Who speaks in the community? Who handles backup deployment?

• Practice cold starts: Quickly switch to backup accounts during a ban and simultaneously release an official statement

6/ Technical protection should not be ignored:

• Enable Google Authenticator, multi-signature, IP whitelisting

• As GMGN has been continuously optimizing security measures in recent months, including diverse login methods and whitelist mechanisms

• It is recommended that all team members set up MFA, so even if personal accounts are compromised, it can effectively isolate the chain crisis

7/ What should general users do?

• If your account is banned, provide a backup email and community management credentials during the appeal

• Regularly back up important conversations and interactions

• Monitor official channels (such as TG groups, Discord) simultaneously to confirm the source of authenticated messages

8/ The most important point:

"It’s not about worrying when the fire comes; it’s about anticipating fire scenarios and practicing how to extinguish the fire afterward."

Cryptocurrency risks can arise at any time; account security, response processes, and team coordination must be prepared in advance.

📌 [Conclusion]

The recent GMGN incident reminds us once again: safety mechanisms need to be established, response processes need to be practiced, and timely rescue is only possible when incidents occur. I hope everyone quickly practices this set of "separation of the dead body + fire drill" to protect both life and funds!
