What to know:
- Nemo, not your friendly neighborhood fish, but a yield protocol on the Sui blockchain, just got mugged for $2.4 million.
- The crafty hacker decided to play hopscotch, moving USDC from Arbitrum to Ethereum. Classic blockchain tourist moves.
Crypto price rallies are like that one flaky friend – exciting for a hot minute, then poof, gone. But hacks? Oh, they’re the party crashers that never get bored. Meet Nemo, the DeFi yield protocol who learned this the hard way.
On Monday, Nemo had the unfortunate experience of being exploited for a cool $2.4 million, because apparently, decentralization loves a little drama – especially when institutional investors are watching with bated breath.
The villainous hacker nabbed USDC (that trusty dollar-pegged stablecoin from Circle Internet) and threw a fabulous costume party by bridging the loot from Arbitrum all the way to Ethereum. Peckshield, blockchain’s very own detective agency, spilled the tea on X.
For the uninitiated, Nemo’s a DeFi yield optimization platform that lets you gamify your staked assets by splitting them into Principal Tokens (PT) and Yield Tokens (YT). Basically, it’s like financial LEGO but with way higher stakes – and apparently, higher risk of getting robbed.
Post-hack, Nemo’s treasure chest shrank like my motivation on a Monday morning – tumbling from over $6 million locked to a mere $1.53 million, according to the ever-reliable DeFiLlama.
