SPOTLIGHT: JTobcat AKA 'Builder and Destroyer of Puzzles' Solved Yuga Labs' 1st Twelvefold Puzzle
On Tuesday, JTobcat who describes himself as the ‘Builder and Destroyer of Puzzles,’ quickly deciphered Yuga Labs’ first Twelvefold blockchain brain teaser and won .12 BTC!
Things were anything but boring this morning after Yuga Labs posted its first Twelvefold inspired puzzle and announced its plans to release a new puzzle every Tuesday between now and November 28, 2023!

"In February we launched Twelvefold, 300 unique generative art pieces on the Bitcoin blockchain,” Yuga Labs tweeted. “Today, we launch a cipher puzzle series inspired by the art, at https://twelvefold.io/puzzle. Yes, there are prizes…and you currently don’t need to own a TwelveFold to participate.”
Following Yuga Labs’ tweet, JTobcat got to work on the puzzle and solved it in a matter of minutes. But it took him an hour to set up the necessary wallets and submit his answer.
“I’m obviously very excited to find out I was first, especially since I saw there were multiple inscriptions before mine,” JTobcat told the Gazette. “I wasn't even keeping an eye out for the email as I was positive I was out of the running. his first puzzle took me about 10 minutes to solve, but then almost another 60 minutes until I was able to get an ordinal wallet setup, find some btc, wait for blocks to get mined and get the inscription minted with the solution. It is neat to have a "proof of solve" that is public on the blockchain to determine the winner with the answers being pgp encrypted for everyone to see.”
JTobcat credits today’s victory to his interest in the Twelvefold collection since March, 2023, his affinity for puzzles, and his ability to spot details.
