We’re currently investigating a potential malicious event affecting the Neutrl front end. Our team is actively investigating. Out of an abundance of caution, please do not interact with the website until further updates are provided.
Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface. Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return. The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox. The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal. Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space. We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction. The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.
🤔 Thinking about an #altseason right about now? Neither is anyone else. Historically, however, moments like these when social volume toward altcoin interest is at extreme lows are around the time that rallies begin. 🗣️ In the chart below, we illustrate the weekly mentions of 'altseason' in relation to the price of the king of speculative assets, Dogecoin. Note that 'altseason' is synonymous with FOMO and greed toward more speculative, emotionally driven assets like $DOGE, meme coins, or hyper-volatile and often mid to lower cap altcoins. 📊 When social volume toward 'altseason' gets high, this is commonly associated with tops. When conversations around 'altseason' hit rock bottom, that's when large capital holders begin to typically pump the price. ⚠️ This is absolutely NOT a perfect trading signal, and disinterest in altcoins doesn't always necessarily justify an imminent alt surge. But understanding that this isn't investment advice, pay attention to this linked chart and you'll be impressed with how powerful of a counter signal this can be. 👇 app.santiment.net/s/pok9djcM?utm…
