About LiveartX

LiveArtX is a Newyork- based NFT platform that aims to be a bridge between the art world and web3. Bringing creators, collaborators, and investors to the metaverse.

It raised about 4.5 million dollars in a funding round earlier this year during its Initial coin offering  ICO.  which saw support from big brands like Gate labs. Alameda ventures, Okx block dream ventures, and BNB chain.

The seven Treasures collection is a collection of 997 items launched in September 2022. it is described as “a generative art project that brings you on a journey through nature.”

October seems to be a terrible month in crypto. chain analysis records October as the worst month in crypto history in terms of hacks with over 718 million dollars stolen already. One of the first was the transit swap hack which occurred on October 2. Where a hacker stole some ETH and BNB worth $23M. 70%  of the funds got recovered within a few hours.

Mango markets also lost $100M to a hacker just recently and Binance suffered a similar attack  a week ago.

Investors may start to prefer using centralized crypto platforms and exchanges because they are less prone to attacks.
