RocketSwap Labs plans on reaching out to the exploiter on-chain, who stole an estimated $865,000 from the protocol on Aug. 14. Base project RocketSwap Labs has outlined its emergency programme to bounce back from a brute force hack which swiped $865,000 or 471 Ether (ETH) from the protocol on Aug. 14. The team explained on Aug. 15 that they plan on redeploying a new farm contract and open-source it on-chain, relinquish minting rights — presumably of RCKT — and will soon call on the hackers to return the assets, among other things: The emergency programme agreed upon by the team is as follows. 1. We plan to redeploy a new farm contract by dropping the proxy contract and open sourcing it on-chain. 2. The new farm will advance the production reduction plan by 0.075 per block. 3.

This week’s episode of The Market Report explores allegations that SBF was behind the recent BALD token rug pull and dissects why Bitcoin is falling below $29,000. In the latest episode of “The Market Report,” analyst and writer Marcel Pechman discusses the BALD token rug pull and the allegations pointing toward FTX founder Sam “SBF’ Bankman-Fried as the culprit. The token launched on Coinbase’s Base network, which is currently under development, and witnessed incredible gains between July 30 and 31. Pechman notes that it is impossible to know how much fake volume and how many trades involving the same entity or small groups were used to prop up BALD’s price on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Further evidence for this hypothesis is the 85% price plunge shortly after BALD’s developer removed the liquidity deposited in DEX pools. According to internet sleuths, the evidence pointing to SBF being the mastermind of the rug pull includes funding from wallets associated with FTX and Alameda ...

Community engagement has always been a key aspect of crypto, and it's proving its value during bear markets. The highly anticipated launch and airdrop of Arbitrum's native governance token ARB took place on March 23, creating a buzz around the layer-2 protocol as hundreds of thousands of eligible users and DAOs tried to claim the token. Overwhelming user demand led the airdrop claim page to crash shortly after its launch, displaying 404 and 429 errors for over an hour, Cointelegraph reported.  Since Arbitrum was one of the largest blockchain projects without a token, the hype around its drop was expected. Nevertheless, it exemplifies how community-driven projects in the space can still thrive, despite competitors, technical challenges, market downturns and regulatory uncertainty. Wen? Now. ‍ pic.twitter.com/CysJ9nPP3Z — Arbitrum (,) (@arbitrum) March 16, 2023 Arbitrum wasn't the first - and certainly won't be the last - project to mobilize massive audiences. In Febr...
