This article sets out our account of the attack on the EDGE token in the early hours of June 2, our team's assessment of what occurred, our position on the matter, and the good will payment plan for affected edgeX users.
We want to state this clearly and on record: edgeX had no involvement in this incident. Our team's token allocations remained entirely unchanged throughout the event, and this is publicly verifiable on-chain. We actively requested all relevant CEX platforms to assist in their forensic investigations, the result of which also confirmed no selling activity, no price manipulation, and no misconduct of any kind from edgeX team. The data is open, and we welcome the community to verify it directly.
And this attack was solely at the EDGE token price. The edgeX protocol itself remained fully operational throughout the incident, and all user assets were secure at all times.
In the early hours of June 2, 2026, the EDGE token experienced a severe and sudden price dislocation, dropping approximately 71% from around $1.12 to a low of roughly $0.32 within approximately one hour, before recovering and stabilizing in the $0.63–$0.71 range.
We believe this was a deliberate and targeted attack. The perpetrator appears to have exploited a combination of factors: thin on-chain DEX liquidity during low-activity trading hours, high leverage in perps, and cascading CEX liquidity conditions, engineered to trigger a flash crash.
We are actively in communication with the relevant CEXs to obtain accurate data on market maker activity and liquidity conditions at the time of the incident. Here is what our team is doing right now:
- Gathering evidence and reconstructing the full sequence of events, because we owe that clarity to ourselves, our users, and the broader market.
- We have posted a 200,000 USDC on-chain bounty for anyone who can identify the entity or entities behind the attacking wallet addresses, or provide information that materially assists in that identification. Please open a discord ticket. https://t.co/MXmJRJz8Te
We will share updates as meaningful findings emerge.
We're grateful for all partners and users supporting us in this difficult time.
We want to share an update on the irregular EDGE price movement and address any concerns about platform security directly.
The edgeX protocol were not compromised in any way. This was not a hack, exploit, or security breach.
What we have identified so far suggests deliberate attempts by certain external party to manipulate the market price of EDGE. This is a market integrity issue, not a platform security issue. We take it extremely seriously.
We are actively investigating and working with relevant exchanges and platforms to identify the cause and pursue accountability. A comprehensive update will follow once our investigation concludes.
Thank you for your continued support.
