    LOOOOL, @VitalikButerin removed liquidity from the SHIB pool
    Replying to @FrankResearcher
    2/8 49.5% of the token supply was added to Uniswap after token creation. LP tokens from this pool were sent to @VitalikButerin along with the remaining SHIB. Therefore, Vitalik, instead of selling, can simply withdraw 93% of the pool liquidity without any price impact ($118M).

    Imagine stealing 600 million 6 days ago and depositing money on @FTX_Official x.com/Ronin_Network/โ€ฆ
    Replying to @Ronin_Network
    The Ronin bridge has been exploited for 173,600 Ethereum and 25.5M USDC. The Ronin bridge and Katana Dex have been halted.

    IronBank ($CREAM) was exploited on $37.5M, letโ€™s take a quick look at what happened.๐Ÿ‘‡ 1/ Attacker used Alpha Homora for borrowing sUSD from IronBank. Each time they borrow twice as much as in the previous one.

    1/5 The new popular @beanstalkfarms protocol lost $181M+ in todayโ€™s exploit, but the attacker only gained $76M. Letโ€™s figure out what happened๐Ÿ‘‡

    Before the hack, the BNB bridge exploiter registered as a relayer for this bridge

    Ok, new DeFi exploit. Victim: - @iearnfinance Attacker profit: - 513k DAI - 1.7M USDT - remaining 506k 3CRV (~$1) To obtain such a profit, the attacker executed 11 transactions. Below is a very superficial explanation of what was happening in these transactions๐Ÿ‘‡

    1/8 Everyone has been waiting for this for a long time, and now @paraswap practically launched his token (PSP), which includes a retroactive airdrop and, apparently, some staking for Paraswap pools Letโ€™s see what we can learn from these unverified contracts๐Ÿ‘‡

    1/5 Letโ€™s look at how @jump_ tried to defend the UST peg a week ago. They used at least three addresses on Ethereum and spent $682.5M+ in various stablecoins. Basically, they were adding one-side liquidity in USDC since the Curve DAI/USDC/USDT pool was already imbalanced.

    Not impressed Another guy put 37.65 ETH and now it's worth $2.05 billion
    276 days ago someone put 10 ETH into SHIB and now it's worth $460 million. How's your life going?

    Should @a16z' Github account be suspended for using the Tornado code?

    1/9 Today we have witnessed the manipulation of XVS priceโ€Šโ€”โ€Š the governance token of Venus Protocol on BSC. This incident resulted in $200M+ DeFi liquidations and a $100M+ of protocol bad debt. As usual, letโ€™s analyze this situation below๐Ÿ‘‡
