Hedera network faces an ongoing exploit targeting the decompiling process in smart contracts. The decentralized exchange (DEX) SaucerSwap Labs has asked users to withdraw their liquidity.
SaucerSwap Labs, a DEX on the Hedera network, encouraged users to “withdraw the liquidity” immediately as an alleged ongoing exploit hit the blockchain.
The decompiling process converts the contract’s bytecode into more readable Solidity-like code, allowing for a better understanding.
Hedera TVL Dropped 25%
In response to the attack, Hashport has paused its bridging facilities to ensure the safety of users’ funds. The Pangolin DEX has also asked users to withdraw tokens from Pangolin pools and farms. SaucerSwap said it has been unaffected by the exploit.
The Total Value Locked (TVL) has dropped nearly 25% in 24 hours as of writing following the hack.
The community manager of SaucerSwap told BeInCrypto that the size of the exploit is yet to be confirmed. However, a Discord member estimates that bad actors accessed around four to five million Hedera tokens (HBAR).
