- Truebit Protocol confirms security breach with 8,535 ETH lost.
- User interaction with the contract advised against.
- Significant market pressure on TRU token evident post-breach.
Truebit Protocol has confirmed a security breach involving its “Purchase” contract, 0x764C64b2A09b09Acb100B80d8c505Aa6a0302EF2, resulting in a loss of approximately $26.4 million.
This incident underscores vulnerabilities in blockchain protocols, affecting Truebit token’s value and raising questions about platform security in decentralized finance (DeFi).
Security Breach Drains 8,535 ETH from Truebit Protocol
Truebit Protocol announced a security breach involving contract 0x764C64b2A09b09Acb100B80d8c505Aa6a0302EF2. The protocol urged the public to avoid interacting with the affected contract while authorities were contacted. Malicious actors steered 8,535 ETH by exploiting the bond-curve logic within the contract.
The exploited contract impacts Truebit’s economic framework, highlighting vulnerabilities in blockchain scalability solutions. The aftermath included a severe devaluation of the TRU token, with prices plummeting drastically as market participants reacted to the news.
“There has been a security incident involving one or more malicious actors tied to contract 0x764C64b2A09b09Acb100B80d8c505Aa6a0302EF2. The public is strongly advised not to interact with this contract until further notice. We have contacted law enforcement and are taking all feasible measures to address the situation.” — Truebit Protocol Team, Official Announcement
