It has been reported that the fate of approximately $500,000 worth of investor funds was put at risk after the Layer-2 network Re.al suddenly stopped working.
Researcher Luca Donno, who stated that blockchain production stopped on Friday, announced that the network became dysfunctional due to the inactivity of the platform's data availability committee (DAC).
Donno, who works on the L2Beat research platform, drew attention to a potential security vulnerability in his post on X, saying, “With the current state of the network, a malicious person can steal all the funds by making changes to the system, and there is no way to prevent this.”
The Data Availability Committee (DAC) is a structure that whitelists certain addresses and is responsible for sharing off-chain data in the Re.al project. However, when this structure is not working, the network loses its vitality and transactions come to a halt.#losses
