Price Oracle Manipulation Causes Chaos

Coinbase’s Base L2 network was rocked with a surprising turn of events. Magnate Finance, once seen as a promising lending protocol, has allegedly made away with a hefty sum of $6.5 million. The method? Price oracle manipulation.

Signs of Scam

ZachXBT, well-known for his precise crypto analysis, was swift in flagging the potential scam to his community on X. But before most could even react, Magnate Finance vanished from the online space, taking with them the trust and investments of thousands.

Community Alert: Magnate Finance on Base will likely exit scam in the near future currently with over $6.4M TVL.

Links to Previous Scams

ZachXBT’s keen eye doesn’t just stop at the detection. His deep dive into the scam revealed unsettling links. The deployer of Magnate Finance seemed to have their fingers in more than one notorious pie, with clear connections to other scams like Kokomo Finance and Solfire.

The Persisting Plague

It’s unfortunate but true. The world of crypto, with its promise of decentralization and empowerment, has its dark side. The recent revelation by ZachXBT about SIM swap attacks is a glaring testament. With losses in the millions, it’s a clear reminder of the dangers lurking in the digital realm.

Impact on the Industry

The shadows cast by these scams reach far and wide. Not only do they harm individuals, but they also provide ample fodder for regulators to clamp down on the industry. If crypto wishes to be taken seriously, it’s clear that a more vigilant approach and stronger security measures are the need of the hour.

Navigating the Future of Crypto with Caution

While the allure of decentralized finance and the broader crypto ecosystem continues to attract millions globally, the Magnate Finance exit scam serves as a sobering reminder of the challenges the industry still faces. As technology advances, so do the methods of those wishing to exploit it. For the cryptocurrency world to truly flourish and gain mainstream trust, it is imperative to continuously innovate security measures and foster a community of shared vigilance. Only then can we hope to mitigate such setbacks and propel the crypto revolution forward with confidence.
