“# ‘Christmas magic,’ says Chainlink user who received $11K in donations for $50K mistake <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

A crypto user who lost roughly $50,000 from a smart contract mistake before the holidays is thanking the crypto community for donating $11,000 to help recover the loss.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Github user dawidkabani13 said he had accidentally sent 4,005 Chainlink (LINK) \u2014 worth roughly $47,000 at the time \u2014 to an immutable Aavegotchi (GHST) smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain. He immedia<\/a>tely realized that it did not support operations for the token and reached out to the crypto community asking for any and all help to recover his “life savings.” The crypto user offered a 1,000 LINK reward and tagged<\/a> Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin on Twitter asking if he could personally reverse the transaction.<\/p>\n

Aavegotchi responded<\/a> to the incident by setting up a donation page intended to help Dawid recover the funds before the holidays. On Sunday, the project’s co-founder Jesse Johnson reported<\/a> that they had sent the crypto user roughly $11,000 in tokens on Christmas Day from more than 200 deposits.<\/p>\n

“Though there was no technical solution, we realized a charity in the Christmas spirit could be a great opportunity to demonstrate the human side of crypto,” Johnson told Cointelegraph. “It hit very close to home because it’s honestly the kind of simple oversight I can see myself or anyone for that matter making.”<\/p>\n

Dear friends, @aavegotchi<\/a> and #crypto<\/a> community! Today I am shocked by the support shown to me and my family. The charity received is a really large amount and it will help me get back on my feet.
If all these years I could call something “Christmas magic” then this is IT! pic.twitter.com\/3Uw7CiMDQm<\/a><\/p>\n
