Patron of Lost Funds • Protector Against Rug Pulls • Finder of Misplaced Private Keys
"Saint Anthony, Guardian of the Blockchain, Keeper of lost wallets and forgotten seeds, Shield me from rug pulls and malicious code, Lead my transactions to secure harbors, And may my private keys never fall to shadow."
In the light of the ledger, we trust.
A hooded figure in a patchwork robe of circuit-patterned fabric, holding a battered hardware wallet in one hand and a glowing ledger book in the other; a tiny golden mouse (a nod to "cold" storage rodents) curls at their feet. Their halo is a ring of tiny, shifting QR codes.
Once a humble cryptographer and journeyman node operator, Anthony wandered the scattered ledgers of the early decentralized world. He learned hands-on how greed and haste turned bright projects into empty shells.
After losing his savings to a clever rug pull and then rediscovering them through persistent on-chain detective work, Anthony vowed to protect future travelers from the same fate.
He walked the markets teaching secure custody, how to read contracts, and how to spot bad actors. Miracles attributed to him include the recovery of private keys from burned boxes, wallets appearing in the pockets of repentant scammers, and smart contracts freezing at the last moment to prevent mass losses.
People pray to him before connecting wallets to new dApps or clicking unfamiliar links.
Devotees leave tiny paper seed phrases (blank except for a single reassuring word) and miniature hardware wallets at shrine-like altars of recycled motherboards and LEDs.
Often include a brief code review, a moment of silence for lost funds, and a communal pledge to use multisig and hardware wallets.
A trader who had lost their life savings to a rug pull dreamt of Anthony; the next day a whistleblower post revealed an exploit allowing partial recoveries.
