New SHIB Burn Mechanism Announced Through Gaming Push

The post Shibarium Bridge Suffers 4.6 Million BONE Exploitation, Team Freezes Funds appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

On Saturday, Shiba Inu’s Layer 2 blockchain network, Shibarium, experienced a carefully planned attack on its bridge. But the team took a smart step to prevent the theft and announced that it had frozen 4.6 million BONE tokens. 

Attackers Borrow 4.6 Million BONE Tokens

Shiba Inu developer, Kaal Dhairya, confirmed the news on his X post (formerly Twitter). He said that the hacker planned a flash loan where they borrowed 4.6 million BONE tokens. This move gave the attackers control over key parts of the network due to compromised validator keys and also allowed them to approve fake transactions and steal funds from the Shibarium bridge. 

However, the SHIB team outsmarted the attackers and stopped them from moving the assets. Fortunately, since the BONE was delegated to Validator 1, it remains locked due to unstaking delays, giving the team a chance to freeze those funds before the attackers could succeed. 

The developer said, “Because the BONE was delegated to Validator 1, it remains locked (due to unstaking delays), giving us the chance to freeze those funds.” 

Immediate Action by Shibarium

As an immediate action, Shibarium paused the functionality of stake/unstake. The team also moved the stake manager funds out of the proxy into a hardware wallet, which is controlled by a 6/9 multisig. 

This is a temporary move by the team until full confirmation of validator key security arrives. On behalf of the Shibarium team, Dhairya wrote, “Our top priority is protecting the network and community assets. We will continue to provide transparent updates as the investigation progresses.”

The team will now secure key transfers and restore the stake manager’s funds once validator integrity is verified.

Shibarium Collaborates with Cybersecurity Team 

The source of the breach has not been identified yet by the team, but investigations are ongoing. Shibarium also partnered with Hexens, Seal 911, and PeckShield, cybersecurity teams on Web3 and blockchain ecosystems. 

Moreover, the team also confirmed that it will not press any charges against the attacker and is ready to negotiate. Dhairya said, “Authorities have been contacted. However, we are open to negotiating in good faith with the attacker: if the funds are returned, we will not press any charges and are willing to consider a small bounty.”

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

The post Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday opted to ease interest rates for the first time in months, leading the way for potentially lower mortgage rates, bond yields and a likely boost to cryptocurrency over the coming weeks. Average long-term mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in months ahead of the central bank’s policy shift. Copyright{2018} The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Key Facts The central bank’s policymaking panel voted this week to lower interest rates, which have sat between 4.25% and 4.5% since December, to a new range of 4% and 4.25%. How Will Lower Interest Rates Impact Mortgage Rates? Mortgage rates tend to fall before and during a period of interest rate cuts: The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.35% from 6.5% last week, the lowest level since October 2024, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported. Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages also dropped to 5.5% from 5.6% as they neared the year-ago rate of 5.27%. When the Federal Reserve lowered the funds rate to between 0% and 0.25% during the pandemic, 30-year mortgage rates hit record lows between 2.7% and 3% by the end of 2020, according to data published by Freddie Mac. Consumers who refinanced their mortgages in 2020 saved about $5.3 billion annually as rates dropped, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Similarly, mortgage rates spiked around 7% as interest rates were hiked in 2022 and 2023, though mortgage rates appeared to react within weeks of the Fed opting to cut or raise rates. How Do Treasury Bonds Respond To Lower Interest Rates? Long-term Treasury yields are more directly influenced by interest rates, as lower rates tend to result in lower yields. When the Fed pushed rates to near zero during the pandemic, 10-year Treasury yields fell to an all-time low of 0.5%. As…
