With USDC insolvency fears rampant, users are fleeing to safety in other stables. Not all of them are going to make it there in one piece, however.
Here's how one unlucky user paid $2,080,468.85 to receive $0.05 of USDT.
916
2K
7K
Let me be clear - fault with this is twofold.
A: the user clearly did not understand or properly set slippage
B: the router mysteriously routed a $2M trade through a dead UniswapV2 pool with $2 of liquidity
This was not a sandwich attack, MEV bot just cleaned up afterwards.
42

716
The bot paid $45 in gas and $39k in MEV bribes, netting $2.045M in profit.
This was not a particularly complex bot. Backrun, flashbots, plus the ability to unwrap 3CRV. That's it.
Equal opportunity, unequal results.

2 million 3CRV slam into the pool with the force of a thousand suns, and x * y = k does its grim work.
Exactly 54182 units of USDC, worth about 5 cents, leave the contract for the second leg of the swap, where they are happily swapped into USDT, and go on to the swapper.

The pool, now hideously imbalanced, cries out for aid. An MEV bot answers the call, and gently restores the balance by exchanging 1.45 USDC for the 2M 3CRV in the pool.

The unfortunate soul used the KyberSwap aggregation router to dump a large clip of 3CRV (DAI/USDC/USDT) LP token into USDT.
This is already a questionable decision since you could just withdraw the LP into USDT for 6% slippage, but maybe he got desperate.

421
In his haste to swap, he neglected to set his slippage correctly. Or, like, at all. He hits send.
The next actor in our story is UniswapV2 pool 0x7d36fbd3, pairing 3CRV/USDC.
This pool contained about $2 in liquidity, and had sat idle for the last 251 days.

HOW TO FIND BUGS AND GET PAID
A big reason I got into Solidity was the Wild West feel of the blockchain security space. You vs. the blackhats in a deadly duel with billions at stake - and massive rewards for defeating them.

Biggest change: anon gigs require a portfolio vs a resume. Founders are less concerned with “I worked here and went to school here”. They want to know “I built X Y and Z”…

HOW TO TELL IF YOU SHOULD LEARN TO CODE (before you even start)

Prerequisite realization to making it: you cannot achieve atypical results via typical behavior. There are no exceptions to this rule.
“Ahh man it must be nice”
No bro, it’s fucking horrible. It’s hard, it sucks, it’s a constant struggle, but guess what bro, it’s worth it.
People don’t understand obsession and doing whatever it takes.
It’s why they don’t ever break beyond normal, mediocre results.

This was my first post as BowTiedPickle. When the Jungle started I was fat, depressed and living paycheck-to-paycheck.
I took action on the Jungle's resources. Now I'm in the best shape of my life, earning WiFi money, and I have hope for the future.
An intro for the jungle:
- early 20s
- job that pays the bills
- background in chemical engineering
I’m mostly lurking and trying to work on the NGMI basics like fitness and second income stream. I plan to try some contributions to the jungle and see what niche there is!

To be clear: the issue is not ledger hardware wallets, the issue is in the adapter which lets websites connect to the hard wallet.
Someone was able to push malicious code containing a wallet drainer to that package, so you are only vulnerable if you visit websites and sign txns.

The attacker injected a wallet draining payload into the popular NPM package.

Because it’s an incredibly difficult problem that defies simple solutions (ie. the ones you see on Twitter).

- Processing transactions moves
