zkSync DEX Merlin Hacked, $1.82 Million In Stolen Funds
zkSync, a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, has experienced a significant setback as its DEX Merlin was hacked. The hacker has stolen over $1.82 million in funds, and the LP has been drained. According to Wu, officials had stated the launch of the Core Farming Pools and public sale was delayed until the Audit by Certik was completed to provide reassurance to potential investors. However, shortly after the audit was completed and Merlin began the public sale.
The founder of Certik recently gave an interview with Chinese media, where he expressed pride in Certik’s accomplishments. According to him, Certik has made significant strides in blockchain security and has achieved a 70% share of the crypto security market. Additionally, he claimed that Certik had reduced the cost of Web3 security audits by over 90%. In response to the issue, Certik found that there may be a problem with the management of private keys rather than an exploit being the root cause. However, shortly after the audit was completed and Merlin began the public sale, unfortunate events took place as the sale was stolen by an unknown perpetrator.
