One was recovered after a hack on a raffle site, and the other was recovered after a former team member went rogue.  No owners incurred any loss and both Opals were secured and returned.\n\nI believe I have demonstrated personal accountability, reliability, honesty, integrity, and the ability to be trusted and relied upon to keep my word and operate with integrity and the best interests of my holders and the SEI ecosystem in mind.  I believe I have demonstrated this not just with speech, but with verifiable action.\n\nI have a very ambitious idea for a new token standard, one which I believe to be the next evolution of 404s and NFTs as a whole, and I have an entire ecosytem of applications already planned to compliment the new fuctionality of the token standard.\n\nI believe this idea will change NFT's forever, and will bring substantial liquidity and attention to the network as first movers with new tech.
