“I feel kinda pathetic reaching out to you this way, but what can I do,” one hopeless romantic told their ex-lover in an on-chain message.
Behind the trillions of dollars settled on the Ethereum blockchain is a near bottomless trove of undeleteable on-chain messages — from people begging hackers to return stolen funds to hopeless romantics pleading with their ex-lovers for a second chance.
“It’s such a wonderfully dark and beautiful place at the same time. crimes. exploits. love letters. it has it all,” said Croissant ETH, a pseudonymous industry analyst who said he “searched through 1.5M+ messages on the Ethereum blockchain” in a May 27 X post.
One of the messages saw someone reach out to their supposed lover who had blocked them on multiple social media platforms.
