[[File:Sweeprtoken.jpg|thumb|Sweepr Logo/Homepage]]Sweepr was an NFT liquidity platform that allowed NFT projects to go head to head to select the more popular NFT, which would be purchased at floor prices by the treasury. On November 22nd, their smart contract was deployed without an access limitation on the emergency withdraw functions. It turns out that MEV bot owner "Yoink" wanted to withdraw the funds in an emergency. The protocol website and some social media appear to have been shut down subsequently.<ref name="etherscan-17133" /><ref name="etherscan-17134" /><ref name="nominis-17124" /><ref name="newsletter-17125" /><ref name="tenarmoralerttwitter-17135" /><ref name="sweeprartarchive-17136" /><ref name="sweeprartarchive-17137" /><ref name="sweeprartarchive-17138" /><ref name="sweeprartarchive-17139" /><ref name="sweeprartarchive-17140" /><ref name="instagram-17141" /><ref name="sweeprartarchive-17142" /><ref name="sweeprfitwitter-17143" /><ref name="coinbrain-17144" /><ref name="coingecko-17145" />

== About Sweepr ==
"Unlocking the Future of NFT Investments"

"Sweepr is an NFT liquidity flywheel fueled by competitive governance battles between various NFT communities.

Sweepr acquires floor price NFTs selected by bi-weekly Sweepr Acquisition Proposals (SAP) where four NFT communities go head to head utilizing thier xSWEEPR as voting power to elect one victorious collection.

The winning collection receives a treasury sweep and is deployed as NFT/ETH liquidity on NFT-Fi platforms such as NFTX, SudoSwap, and Floor Protocol."

"The Sweepr Token (SWEEPR) on ETH was suspected to have been attacked, resulting in a loss of approximately $14K."

"Hold xSWEEPR to opt-in to revenue share rewards, liquidity mining incentives, and governance proposals."

"Claim your share of revenue and liquidity mining incentives. Rewards and governance power are calculated and distributed based on a user's staked xSWEEPR amount."

"Leverage your governance power and vote on your favorite NFT collection in Sweepr proposals. Directly support creators and NFT ecosystems by voting in Sweepr Acquisition Proposals that help deepen liquidity and strengthen floor price."

"Using funds from the Treasury, Sweepr sweeps the floor of the winning collection and subsequently deploys liquidity to NFT-Fi platforms."
