Heyo Raydiators! So, we captured over 660k USDC from bots attempting to attack the Genopets IDO yesterday... LOL! 😜

Know you guys wanted to do a big fun buy & burn with it, but alas, it's not our USDC so it has been returned to offending wallets. Maybe we hold it for 72 hours next time?

These measures seemed to have worked for the most part, we did still see bot activity ($660k worth of it) but looks like it was reduced vs past AcceleRaytor IDOs. Solana TPS did drop to around 1k TPS at a point, and some transactions were failing, but the network recovered and picked back up after a short time. Thanks for the patience while things slowed down a bit! 🙏

We're hoping these guys got the message and we'll see even less bots in subsequent pool launches but we'll be monitoring and tweaking things to try to deter the bots and keep things running as smooth as possible for you Raydiators! 💪
