The ZK token quickly dropped around 20% in price, likely as a result of the thief trying to sell the tokens.
$5 million in tokens stolen from ZKsync
An attacker compromised an admin account belonging to the ZKsync Ethereum layer-2 project, which is built by Matter Labs. By doing so, they were able to steal approximately $5 million worth of the ZK token, which the project said were "the remaining unclaimed tokens from the ZKsync airdrop".
KiloEx exploited for $7.5 million
KiloEx, a decentralized perpetual futures exchange, was exploited for $7 million. An attacker executed an oracle manipulation attack on KiloEx's pricing smart contracts to steal funds across the Base Ethereum layer-2 chain, BNB Chain, and Taiko.
KiloEx halted trading on the platform while investigating the exploit, and contacted the hacker to try to negotiate a 90% return of funds.
Mantra token price suddenly collapses by 90%
Mantra's $OM token price suddenly crashed by around 90%, with the project's supposed "market cap" shrinking by around $5 billion in the span of hours. Mantra is a layer-1 blockchain project aiming to support real-world asset trading.
Some have accused Mantra of rug-pulling or accused Mantra investors like Laser Digital of mass sell-offs. However, Mantra claims that the flash crash was due to "reckless forced closures initiated by centralized exchanges on OM account holders" — a claim that has been questioned by those observing the rapidity of the crash.
