EigenLayer hacked for $5.7 million, isolated incident? Protocol security is not affected!

In a hacker attack that shocked the market, Ethereum re-staking protocol EigenLayer suffered a theft of about $5.7 million in tokens, but the team insisted that the incident was "isolated" and did not affect the overall security of the protocol.

Event review:

On October 4, EigenLayer confirmed that an investor's 1.6 million EIGEN tokens were transferred without approval, and the attacker achieved this theft by hacking into the relevant email thread. Subsequently, the tokens were quickly sold on decentralized trading platforms and transferred to centralized exchanges. EigenLayer said that part of the stolen funds have been frozen and is actively communicating with relevant platforms and law enforcement agencies.

Market reaction:

Despite the attack, the performance of EIGEN tokens is still remarkable. After unlocking on October 1, EIGEN's trading price on Binance once reached $3.85, with a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of approximately $6.5 billion, ranking among the top 100 in the market. But the latest data shows that its price has dropped to $3.38, FDV has dropped to $5.6 billion, and its ranking has also slipped to 99th place.

Views:

Security warning: Although EigenLayer claims that the protocol itself has no loopholes, investors still need to be vigilant and ensure information security to prevent similar incidents from happening again. Opportunities and risks: The current EIGEN token price correction may provide an entry opportunity for long-term investors, but risk management must not be ignored.

In short, although this incident is worrying, the EigenLayer team's response and transparency are worthy of recognition. Continue to follow Lao Chen and follow the market pulse. We will grasp future investment opportunities together!
