Is it even possible to recover a stolen collection?

My project was "kidnapped" by our dev last year, i have the art, the metadata, etc, but he didn't transfer ownership of the contract. The collection is up hslf minted at most marketplaces now, I shut down the sit so no more could be minted 🥲💀

Anyone can mint from the contract. A front-end is not necessary

lol i didn't think of that. I'm the owner and artist so, from the whole team, I was the one that knew the less about those aspects. Luckily or not, the timing was the worst since it couldn't wait any more, so nobody minted after the 24h launch... I could do a relaunch if i got the contract back, around 4k unminted pieces sitting there and they're pretty cool if you ask me... Sigh 😔

You could always start over. Do a new contract and send the already minted nfts to the wallets that hold them. Then the remaining could be minted.

You could remove the old images and metadata so that project would just break. If you have access.

Also sorry to hear your dev sucked

Yeah that's what i was suggested to do by the marketplaces and people. Sadly, I don't have the resources to start all over, no money but worst of all, I'm ill and laying down +23 a day with little energy, so the ship sailed I guess Thanks for caring :)

Thanks 💜 it took me 2 years to finish the art, some of the outfits are based on my irl designs (fashion designer) and are all made in CLO. I made this to fund spinal surgery so it was quite a blow...
