On October 23rd, 2025, President Donald Trump pardoned convicted founder of Binance Changpeng Zhao. Janet Yellen, former Treasury Secretary said of CZ and Binance, "Binance turned a blind eye to its legal obligations in the pursuit of profit… Its willful failures allowed money to flow to terrorists, cybercriminals, and child abusers through its platform." When CZ stepped down from Binance, he stated, "I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility.” He paid a $50million dollar fine and spent four months in prison, though he was allowed to keep his stake in Binance.

Look mom, I made it! I have contributed very valuable community content, and I got this special POAP to show for it. This POAP was awarded to every Redditor with at least 1 Daily Doot on the EVMavericks Daily Doots leaderboard, in collaboration with r/ethereum.

Celebrate History in the making with the EVMavericks as they get OpenSea blue check mark verified! This was thanks to IcoBeast.eth winning a bet with Clemente @Chilearmy123 where Clemente said he would "get a tattoo on his ass of IcoBeast's pfp if ETH broke a new ATH this year (2025)" In which it certainly did just a few months later. The bet took off on social media which lead to Opensea posting a tweet about it which inevitably lead them to verify the EVMavericks collection. Many OG EVMavericks know the struggle it was to go through the Opensea process to get blue check mark verified in the past and so becoming verified through a random bet online with an ass tattoo is very bittersweet! Congrats EVMavericks on this amazing achievement and thank you IcoBeast.eth! Please mint this Poap to show you were here when it happened!

On August 22, 2025, Ethereum users worldwide join Leslie the Rhino in celebrating as Ethereum reaches a new all-time high! With institutional demand for ETH surging, could this milestone be just the beginning of an even greater journey? All proceeds from this POAP will be donated to Protocol Guild.
