Degen Chain Drama: User Loses 90% of Funds! ?****

User recently lost 90% of his funds during a cross-chain transfer from Degen Chain. The Degen Chain team pointed fingers at third-party service providers for the mishap.

? The Story:

On July 16, Tempe.degen tried transferring 900,000 DEGEN in two transactions from the native blockchain to the Base network. But only 115,000 DEGEN made it to his wallet, with 785,000 DEGEN (worth almost $5,000) vanishing into the crypto abyss.

? The Investigation:

Turns out, the Degen Chain bridge converts DEGEN to Ethereum, moves it to Base, and then swaps ETH back to DEGEN. This multi-step process caused significant slippage, leading to the loss.

? The Blame Game:

Degen Chain’s team blamed an unannounced update by one of their service providers. They acknowledged their part and promised a "serious reshuffle" to improve their services, along with a refund form for affected users.

Moral of the Story:

Even in the wild west of crypto, always double-check those bridges! ?
