Hacker El Dorado Exchange ($EDE) On Arbitrum Unmasking Project Price Fraud

Key Points:

  • A white hat hacker has exposed the price manipulation trick of the El Dorado Exchange ($EDE) project team built on Arbitrum.
  • This person deposited a small amount of assets to the ELP-1 pool on Arbitrum and withdrew $580,000 shortly after.
  • The EDE team has admitted to manipulating prices, but with the active purpose of putting hackers on the project blocklist, not with the intention of cheating.
The hacker sent a small amount of assets to the ELP-1 pool on Arbitrum and withdrew $580,000 shortly after. However, the purpose of this hacker is to expose the scam of El Dorado Exchange (EDE).

According to the report, a hacker appeared earlier today, sending a small amount of assets to the ELP-1 pool on Arbitrum and withdrawing $580,000 shortly after. The hacker also left a message stating that he was not a blackhat.

The hacker left a line of messages accusing the EDE team of fraud, indicating that the project could take advantage of a price manipulation “backdoor” to liquidate users’ positions whenever they want.

“ede admins created a bot to force liqudate any position of their choice when ever they like ask the admins about it, see if they lie to you.”

Hacker promises to return the above assets if the EDE team admits it, keeping only 10% as a white hat fee. And then 334,000 USDC was returned.

After receiving the warning, the El Dorado Exchange team admitted to manipulating prices but with the active purpose of putting hackers on the project’s blacklist, protect user assets, and not have the intention of cheating. However, EDE officials have yet to issue any response on official social media.

The EDE token is still bottomless in a drop of over 40% and is currently trading at $1.3 before settling at $2.2.
