HLG Down Over 60% as Exploiter Mints 1 Billion New Tokens

cryptovert June 14, 2024 1 min read
  • The
    native
    token
    of
    the
    Holograph
    protocol
    is
    down
    over
    60%
    after
    an
    exploit
    allowed
    an
    attacker
    to
    mint
    1
    billion
    HLG

  • On-chain
    data
    suggests
    that
    the
    wallet
    acc01ade.eth
    was
    involved
    with
    the
    exploit,
    and
    a
    Github
    page
    lists
    an
    individual
    with
    the
    same
    handle
    as
    a
    contributor
    to
    HLG.

The
native
token
of
the
Holograph
protocol
(HLG)
was
down
as
much
as
60%,

according
to
CoinGecko
data
,
after
a
malicious
actor
ran
an
exploit
that
allowed
them
to
mint
1
billion
HLG
tokens.

“The
team
has
launched
an
investigation
&
is
in
the
process
of
contacting
law
enforcement,”
the
protocol
posted
on
its
X
page.

The
Holograph
protocol
enables
a
single
contract
address
across
all
EVM
blockchains,
which
ensures
consistent
tokenization,
seamless
interoperability,
and
secure
cross-chain
asset
transfers,
according
to
a
description
on
its
website.

At
current
market
prices,
the
1
billion
HLG
that
the
exploiter
absconded
with
is
worth
slightly
more
than
$6.7
million.

On-chain
data
suggests
that
the

ENS
wallet
acc01ade.eth

was
involved
in
the
exploit.

A
Github
page

suggests
that
they
are
also
a
contributor
to
the
project.

A
X
page
with
the
same
name
describes
itself
as
a
“super
shadowy
coder”
based
in
Paris.
The
account
did
not
respond
to
a
request
for
comment
by
CoinDesk.
