Ambitious miners started their Web3 exploration in pursuit of gold. Using new ways to pull gold out of the world under more uncertainty, the stakes are higher than ever. Will big risks lead to a bigger payout?
Web3 gold rush with risks
Even though global market instability increased, driven by the international macroeconomic downturn, adventurers still gravitate toward the goldfield. Recently, the Ethereum Merge, a historic upgrade casting aside proof-of-work with promises of massive environmental benefits, has brought opportunities for risk-free arbitrage. One of the hacker teams claimed to have made nearly 10,000 ETHPoW (about $0.2 million) in this arbitrage.
However, it’s just swings and roundabouts. The hacked incident on BNB Token Hub, a cross-chain bridge connecting the BNB Beacon Chain and BNB Chain, resulted in huge losses by issuing 2 million additional BNB (BNB) ($570 million), the entire chain was “paused” before the hacker could make off with their exploits. The hacker only managed to snag around $127 million off the chain.
Regarding both events, OKLink Audit group also provides insights from on-chain data analysis, revealing these mysterious stories. According to an article named “The Crypto World Is on Edge After a String of Hacks” published in The New York Times, more than $2 billion in digital currency has been stolen in hacks this year, shaking faith in the experimental field of decentralized finance, known as DeFi. The vulnerability of the crypto goldfield needs a security guard.
