8,880,000 $SHROOM — locked forever

In the vault right now

What happened

At launch on 3 Sept 2026 the 10% ops allocation was sent to the wrong contract. The runbook step said "treasury"; the address it used was the ETH vault. The vault was built on purpose to hold ETH and nothing else, so the tokens went into a box with no door.

We can't get it back. Nobody can — not the owner, not us, not a vote. It's the same as a burn, except you can see it sitting there. Nobody else's tokens were touched. The ETH pot, the team wallet, every holder and every airdrop are exactly as they were.

Proof 1 — the transaction

One transfer, block 53,476,806, 3 Sept 2026, from the deployer to the vault. 8,880,000 exactly.

Proof 2 — the code

The vault's source is verified (exact match, Sourcify, 3 Sept 2026). It has three functions. None of them can call another contract with data, so none of them can move an ERC-20. This is the entire thing that can send anything out:

// ShroomVault.sol — the only function that moves value out
function send(address payable to, uint256 amount) external {
    if (msg.sender != owner) revert NotOwner();
    if (to == address(0)) revert ZeroAddress();
    uint256 held = address(this).balance;      // ETH balance
    if (amount > held) revert TooMuch(amount, held);
    (bool ok,) = to.call{value: amount}("");  // empty calldata = ETH only
    if (!ok) revert SendFailed();
    emit Sent(to, amount, address(this).balance);
}

Proof 3 — check it yourself, no trust needed

Ask the chain for the vault's $SHROOM balance. Paste this anywhere that can make a web request:

curl -s https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_call","params":[{"to":"0x44C9E8257B2bcD5009cE490F3C27A159f637e7F8","data":"0x70a0823100000000000000000000000034Fd2127F5340640D366778f05696034a18af917"},"latest"]}'

You'll get back 0x…75869c3bbbf9a4e000000, which is 8,880,000 × 10¹⁸. Or with Foundry: cast call 0x44C9…e7F8 "balanceOf(address)(uint256)" 0x34Fd…f917 --rpc-url https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com
