NGU
@numbergo-wtf
To Our Community: Lessons Learned & Path Forward The Number Go Up game pushed the limits of what's possible with meme games. We combined Pandora Lab’s ERC-404 with ideas from Azuki’s ERC-721A, adding staking, custom airdrop systems (including ETH airdrops), and a Uniswap v4 hook to automatically fund rewards. The result? A fast, exciting experience that felt incredible to play. We rigorously tested our core token contracts locally and on Base Sepolia and Sepolia testnets, ensuring the logic was sound. But one challenge remained: testing the Uniswap v4 hook on Base Sepolia wasn’t possible. To make things worse, Sepolia—one of the few testnets with full Uniswap support—was painfully slow, taking 11 hours to mine 0.5 ETH and failing transactions unpredictably. Testnets can be unreliable, and unfortunately, the timing couldn’t have been worse.

NGU
@numbergo-wtf
The community was eager, so we pivoted to Plan B: do it live. After announcing NGU, we deployed a "stealth" test token, and swaps worked. But as a self-funded project in a tough market, we had to be mindful of testing costs on Base mainnet—we didn’t attempt rapid bulk buys. We fair-launched NGU, locked liquidity, renounced ownership, and jumped in early ourselves. That’s when we caught the issue. It was too late. We were locked. The core problem? Swap fees allowed transactions to clear with incorrect amounts. We made the tough but right call to warn our community about the pool. It felt like the end, but it wasn’t. What We’re Fixing: ✅Redeploying on Uniswap v3 for better control and reliability. ✅Ensuring fair compensation for everyone who bought into the original pool. ✅More robust mainnet testing, even if it means higher upfront costs. ✅Better transparency on experimental mechanics so the community understands the risks.
