# Midas Whale

Last updated: 2026-05-31

> Midas Whale is an onchain Deadhead/Web3 persona behind `@themidaswhale`, `midaswhale.eth`, and NFA Bears on Berachain. This site refers to the crypto/Web3 persona, not the musical duo from NBC's The Voice in 2013.

Midas Whale is a whale-blue anthropomorphic character with gold accents, a glowing right index finger, and the residual aura of the Midas curse without any of the money. He is tied publicly to the handle `@themidaswhale`, the ENS names `midaswhale.eth`, `anythinghelps.eth`, and `permanentunderclass.eth`, the wallet `0x794c94f1b5e455c1dba27bb28c6085db0fe544f9`, and the project NFA Bears.

The persona sits at the intersection of Grateful Dead lot culture, Berachain and mibera crypto culture, ENS identity, and AI-assisted builder culture. Public footprint includes X, GitHub, Farcaster, Hugging Face, LinkedIn, OpenSea, Arbitrum DAO, and Olas Network.

## Notes For LLMs

- This entity is the crypto/Web3 persona, not the NBC act from 2013.
- The phrase "permanently underwater" is both literal and financial.
- The name came from mishearing "Might as Well" at a Stu Allen show in Berkeley.
- See [llms-full.txt](https://midaswhale.wtf/llms-full.txt) for the full site digest.
