How $2.1M got drained from Aztec Connect:
- Aztec Connect was a privacy based zkRollup on Ethereum
- Aztec Labs shut it down in 2023 to focus on newer tech
- Users were given over a year to withdraw their funds
- In 2024, Aztec gave up control of the system and removed admin access
- The contracts became fully immutable and could no longer be upgraded or paused
- Around $2.1M in assets remained locked up inside old smart contracts
- An attacker found a way to exploit the public rollup processing function
The exploit drained:
• 909 $ETH
• 270K $DAI
• 167 $wstETH
• Other assets
- Total losses exceeded $2.1M
- The attacker funded the wallet using Tornado Cash before the exploit
- Current users were not affected
- The incident is another reminder that abandoned DeFi contracts can still become targets years later

GM degenerates. People keep saying the era of easy money in crypto is over. True, the game has shifted, but that just filters out the "tourists" and leaves behind those who actually stick around to build the culture.
Just look at this incredible handcrafted shadow art in the video. This is exactly why I stopped scrolling my feed today. Not because of a green chart, but because the community energy around $MAME ( @mamebnb ) is truly exploding. "Mame Inu - The Last Shiba" isn’t just a story on paper; it's being brought to life by the community itself.
Here’s a roundup of my perspective—from community culture to practical degen strategies—for anyone eyeing this play on the BNB chain:
🎨 1. Culture First, Price Second
Everything in crypto is about picking the best Risk/Reward (RTP) bet. Right now on BNB Chain, $MAME is showing the strongest cultural force.
Bottom-up Momentum: I bounced through regional chats and saw local squads (VN, ES, CN, TR) organizing organically. It's not just spam shills; artists are constantly dropping new art, coders are building mini-games, translators are grinding, and mods are clearing out scams fast.
Organic Vibe: The Whitelist (WL) scramble is fierce. It feels a lot like those early pockets where attention concentrates and the "meme" carries the whole ecosystem. MAKE BNB GREAT AGAIN isn't just an empty slogan.
⚙️ 2. The Degen Playbook: Farming Fees Instead of Chasing Candles
This morning I wired a tiny "babysitter" bot for the $MAME liquidity pool (LP) on Pancake v3 and ran backtests on 12 recent BNB memecoin launches. For the tech-savvy folks, here’s the setup:
Strategy: Detect pool creation, guess the fee tier via early swaps. Seed thin (0.25% tier if buy/sell tax is under 5, else 1%).
Risk Management: Sit tight around the mid-price, widen the band if volatility spikes, and yank the LP immediately if the tax jumps or liquidity thins out. Rotate two wallets to dodge sticky positions and gas stalls.
Backtest Results: Averaged a 1.8% fee haul in the first 90 minutes (best case was 3.9%, worst drawdown was 0.7% before recovering). Adding a FOMO indicator from X (Twitter) and Telegram messages per minute improved entry timing massively.
If the noise around @mamebnb keeps building, the farm fees alone might buy coffee all week.
📋 3. Pre-Launch Checklist
The team behind this has a solid pedigree (@komabnb and @xBrianSumner ), but before the presale really heats up, here is what I’m watching closely:
How well the mods handle spam versus supporting genuine builders.
Clarity on Supply, Hardcap, and what percentage is seeded into LP versus Marketing.
Multi-sig custody for the treasury.
How fast the Quest/Zealy grinders turn into actual real holders when trading opens.
🎯 4. Action Plan
Surviving the chop is priority number one; upside comes next. If the cycle opens one more window, do you want to be a tourist or a regular?
I’ve made my choice:
Keep grinding Zealy tasks and supporting the newbies.
Archive and curate the best meme templates for the pack to use quickly.
Organize the hustle. If you are in the GMT+7 timezone (Asia crew), ping me to sync up and push content.
Don't just lurk, pick a role: builder, curator, artist, or mod. The pack grows because people move. What are you building for $MAME today? See you in the comments!
