First Major Rug Pull on Binance Smart Chain? Over $30 Million Drained

  • Binance Smart Chain has become somewhat of a hot topic amid DeFi gem seekers in the past few weeks.
  • The network saw an influx of new projects, reminiscing of the early days of the DeFi craziness last summer.
  • In any case, hours ago, the community was shocked earlier today when news broke out that one of the newer protocols, Meerkat Finance, was drained.
  • Meerkat Finance is a yield farming protocol that runs on Binance Smart Chain, and a few hours ago, the team revealed that it was “hacked” and drained by 73,000 BNB and 13 million BUSD. The total number amounts to roughly over $30 million at the time of this writing.
  • It appears that the alleged hacker stole the money by changing the protocol’s smart contract using the original deployer’s account. In other words – the private key of the deployer contract must have been compromised.
  • The Twitter account of the project, as well as the website, have also been taken down, causing some to believe that the team rug pulled the entire thing.
  • Meanwhile, the official account of Binance prompted the community to provide any additional information they may have on the case.
