As I sit here, quill in hand, pondering the woes of the world, I am reminded of the age-old adage: “pride comes before a fall.” And what a fall it has been for zkLend, a decentralized money lending protocol that has been relieved of a whopping $4.9 million on the Starknet network.
It appears that the crypto world, much like the human heart, is prone to fits of madness and bouts of recklessness. And so, on February 12, the unthinkable happened. The blockchain security firm Cyvers reported that zkLend had been exploited, and the funds, like autumn leaves, were swept away to the tune of $4.9 million.
But fear not, dear reader, for this tale takes a turn for the absurd. It seems that the thief, in a moment of unbridled generosity, decided to launder the funds via Railgun, only to have them returned to the original address, like a prodigal son returning home.
And so, in a move that can only be described as a masterclass in negotiation, zkLend offered the thief a deal that would make even the most seasoned diplomat green with envy. “Take 10% of the funds,” they said, “and we’ll let you off scot-free. But return the remaining 90%, or 3,300 ETH, and we’ll call it a day.”
“We understand that you are responsible for today’s attack on zkLend. You may keep 10% of the funds as a whitehat bounty, and send back the remaining 90%, or 3,300 ETH to be exact […]”
But, alas, dear reader, the thief has yet to respond. And so, zkLend has been left to ponder the age-old question: “what’s the point of having a fortune if you can’t even enjoy it?”
And so, as we bid adieu to this tale of crypto woe, we are reminded that the world of blockchain is a complex and wondrous place, full of twists and turns that would make even the most seasoned novelist proud.
But fear not, dear reader, for this is not the end of the story. Oh no, the crypto world is a never-ending saga of drama and intrigue, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for us next.
