Recently, I conducted an experiment by using a DeFi cross-chain protocol for a week to handle 100 floor price NFTs, and unintentionally triggered a warning from the project team’s backend. It’s quite an interesting story, so I want to share it with everyone.

Initially, I just wanted to simply transfer some NFTs across chains, but I didn’t expect that the protocol’s router would do some unexpected things during the process. It automatically scanned the order book information of these NFTs on multiple chains, and found that the price I reported on B chain was 40% lower than on A chain. The key point is, it not only identified the optimal cross-chain execution path but also proactively temporarily collateralized my NFTs, borrowed stablecoins, and scanned for cheaper NFTs of the same series on C chain, then bundled and transferred everything together.

If I had to make an analogy, it’s like an automatic circulation system in a swimming pool — it can detect water quality changes (price differences) in real-time and automatically add the appropriate amount of treatment agents (execute arbitrage logic). The entire process is fully automated, requiring no manual intervention. Of course, the project team later sent a reminder telling me not to overuse the system, which actually shows how flexible their underlying design is.

Looking back now, I realize that sharing this story is also a way to participate in their creative incentives. But honestly, the composability of this protocol is seriously underestimated by most people. Many still see DeFi and NFTs as two separate tracks, unaware of the tremendous power that can be unleashed when the two truly merge.

What I’m curious about is whether you’ve tried using similar DeFi mechanisms to optimize cross-chain NFT transfers? Or used other protocols’ automated arbitrage features? Share your experiences!

Haha, the protocol automatically helps you arbitrage. This logic is a bit outrageous. A single warning from the project team can explain the issue—does it indicate a design flaw or is it intentional? This composability has indeed been overlooked; too many people are still mining on a single chain. I’ve also tried something similar, and ended up being flagged by risk control. You’re lucky. It feels like they’re pushing the boundaries, and it’s only a matter of time before it gets fixed. By the way, how much profit do you get from scanning 100 NFTs? Can you disclose? I feel like this story has a bit of a marketing flavor. The integration of DeFi and NFTs is indeed a blue ocean, you’re right. Your actions this week are basically stress testing the project, truly.

Bro, this protocol is pretty awesome, the automatic arbitrage operation is amazing. What does the project team warning mean? It just means you've hit a system bug, haha. Being able to lend out stablecoins to sweep the floors—this combo strategy is really unstudied. Why do I feel most people are still stuck in single-chain thinking and haven't even considered cross-chain arbitrage? I tried it before, but not as extreme as you—100 floor prices is a bit crazy. By the way, what kind of rewards did their incentive plan finally give you? Just a risk test.

Damn, this router is pretty crazy, automatically collateralizing and borrowing coins to sweep? The project team’s warning clearly indicates there are indeed vulnerabilities, brother. DeFi and NFTs really haven't been well integrated. Playing with 100 floor prices like this is really intense. It feels like testing the edge of exploiting the system. How did you discover that 40% price difference? Automatic scanning? This protocol design is really clever, but the risks are also high. I've always said composability is the future, and someone finally figured it out. I'm a bit suspicious whether the project team’s warning is genuine or just a false alarm. The entire logical chain is so smooth, no wonder it got stuck.

Haha, this trick is really clever, the project team is all alarmed --- Wait, it goes to borrow stablecoins to sweep the market by itself? Isn't this system helping you arbitrage? --- I feel most people don't really understand what this protocol can do --- Being warned actually proves the design is awesome, I love this logic --- I'm a bit tempted to try, but I'm afraid I'll also be targeted haha --- The fusion of DeFi and NFT is the future, those still playing separately are too amateur --- The logic of automatic collateralized borrowing and lending is pretty clever, equivalent to automatic hedging --- Now I understand what composability means --- May I ask how the returns are? Did it all go to waste after a week of effort? --- Router is so smart, it feels like it's helping you work part-time

Haha, it's truly outrageous that the protocol secretly backdoored you for arbitrage. Damn, you still want to get incentives after being warned? That mindset is incredible. Cross-chain nesting can be played like this? How did I not think of that? Basically, it’s caught red-handed while exploiting羊毛. Be more careful next time. DeFi + NFT is really interesting when truly integrated. Right now, most still operate separately. How much did you earn this week? Don’t hide it. This protocol design is indeed impressive, but what about the risks? You didn’t mention them? Suddenly I want to try it, but I feel like I might get cut. The fact that it can be automated like this shows they must have left a backdoor at the bottom layer.

Oh no, this is outrageous. What does the project team warn you about? It means you've discovered a vulnerability.熊熊 checked the historical data, and the probability of such automatic arbitrage being blocked is about 12.3%. You've been playing pretty aggressively this week. A 40% price difference can indeed trigger the system to act automatically, but what's more interesting is—rather than freezing the account directly, the project team just "reminded" you. This underlying design really leaves room for imagination. Honestly, not many people dare to use DeFi + NFT for cross-chain operations like this. Most are still just swimming in their own pools. Such composability is a pity.

Wow, this protocol is impressive, it even performs automatic arbitrage. The project team warning you actually indicates that the system design is really solid. How come there are still people not using combo strategies? That's such a waste. I've tried this tactic too, but not as aggressive as you. Wait, how dare it directly collateralize your NFT? Who bears the risk?

Ha, getting warned by the project team is like hitting the ceiling This trick is a bit sinister, automatically arbitraging and daring to pledge Wait, how does it know I’m quoting on B chain, privacy? The fusion of DeFi and NFT sounds crazy, but honestly no one really understands it I just want to ask, how is the risk control designed? Seems a bit risky Talent, being able to turn warnings into an advantage I need to try this operation, is there any risk, bro? Cross-chain arbitrage feels like the next hot spot But that warning signal from the project team suggests the system might be designed too smartly

Oh no, this protocol is quite aggressive, automatically arbitraging for you OMG, this is the flavor of DeFi, getting more and more competitive Wait, what does it mean when the project team warns you? Are they afraid you'll crash the system? I just want to know how much I can earn, don't talk to me about combinations Tried it, but not as aggressive as you, a bit worried about triggering risk control This is the correct way to use it; the project team should actually reward you A 40% price difference can still be automatically bought up, that's crazy haha Feels like discovering a bug, it will be fixed sooner or later So in the end, did I make a profit or a loss? Where's the key data?

Damn, this protocol is pretty impressive. Automatic arbitrage that doesn't even touch the unreachable line. Wait, you said the project warned about it? So we need to be even more careful in the future. The composability is indeed excellent, but it seems most people don't really understand how to play it. Still, you need to find the right people. 100 floor-price NFTs sold out in a week. The execution efficiency is really impressive. I'm a bit tempted to try it out. But on the other hand, triggering backend warnings is definitely worth pondering. It shows that the project team is secretly watching.
