D3FENDERS
Let's put things into context...
Every single day i run into new cases of people that got scammed and then wallet drained.
Although this has always been a problem, not many solutions were created to solve this
problem in particular. That's when D3FENDERS saw the chance to jump in and think of an idea
to solve this issue.
Let's be honest, how nice would it be for us all to feel safe and sleep well at night, but
usually with high-risk assets and wallets that have no backup against drains we are not able
to..? (like a bank for example that may have some kind of backup in case your account gets
attacked)... Well, D3FENDERS is a tool exactly to help PREVENT wallet
drains.
The collection minted on November 7th 2023. At a price of 1.8 SOL for Public Phase. At that
time, with $SOL being $43 it was roughly about $77 USDC. A total of 2500 NFTs were
minted.
Each D3FENDER NFT grants you access to the discord server with all its benefits and to the
protection tools for free, without having to pay the service. Otherwise, each lock has a $2
USDC fee.

How does it work??
The tool uses 2FA from Google Authenticator while also interacting with a smart
contract.
According to their whitepaper: "This groundbreaking security layer seamlessly
intertwines smart contracts, Google Authenticator, and a distinctive asset
migration feature, resilient even in the face of a compromised seed phrase. Rigorously
audited by Sec3, an esteemed figure in Solana's web3 security sector, D3fenders
guarantees robustness and reliability in the protection of digital
assets."

Analyzing key points
- • Art. Well, we all know it's the most
"subjective" key point, but personally i like the art. The team decided to set a
strong image, a real "d3fender" guarding your wallet, and i like the way the
played with the skins, and all the other attributes, its a good way to try to
snipe the rarest assets. Oh! There are also 14 NFTs which are 1/1 art !!!
- • Utility. This key point is pretty straight
forward. You get your assets protected.
There are also new utilities and tools coming soon, but for now, you know you can use the software to protect your NFTs and SPL Tokens (yes, your tokens can be protected too!!). - • Core team. The leading team is doxxed and have been showing they work on improvements and new tools. They are active in the community and they seem to have a solid plan on where they want to go.
- • Community. There's a solid community, maybe not as big as some other collections, but we have to remember this collection has its priority on building and its tools.
- • Ideas and execution. In this point in particular is pretty much what i stated previously. The team focus on building and executing to bring us new tools.
- • Collaborations. Their official partners are good, solid projects, such as: Bored Ape Solana Club, GUAC, PRNT, SharkyFi, SMB, 42 Hamsters / Pen Frens and HelloMoon.
- • Holders ratio. This collection has a lot of
diamond holders, as listed NFTs are around 6.6% of the total supply at the
moment.
Although, it doesn't have as many holders as i'd like it to have, mainly because there are quite a few whales holding their D3FENDERS. According to Magic Eden statistics, at the moment of writing this article, there are 28 holders with more than 30 NFTs each. The following being the top 5:
So, is it that simple to use like you say panchini...?
Definitely YES!!!
I'll show you some screenshots i took while i was trying out the tool, with it, it's
super easy to be safe! Now you don't have an excuse...!
