Next step: To confirm your preliminary registration and secure eligibility, please verify your wallet through Y Combinator. This step ensures fairness, safeguards against Sybil attacks, and does not require personal information. The process takes less than a minute: simply connect your wallet and sign a verification message.

Important: A refundable deposit is required for authorization. The full amount will be returned once verification is complete.

Is this a real thing or a scam? I have never got a ycombinator message on GitHub and have been on GitHub for more than ten years.

Edit: Ok, I rechecked and it looks too scammy. Going to block this with the “this is a scam” assumption.
