  • Alliance of 314: The X314 contract is suspected to have a hidden additional issuance switch, developers should pay attention to verification

    Alliance of 314 issued a statement claiming that the contract of a certain 314 project has not been open-sourced on the blockchain. As for whether other platforms have open-sourced their contracts, there is a misconception that open-sourcing on other platforms is self-submitted and does not necessarily mean that the contract is deployed on the chain, so there may be unknown hidden issuance. Additionally, the said 314 project announced that it will soon launch a trading platform, and the first requirement for logging into a centralized exchange is to open-source the contract. Open-sourcing is the first thing that any project should do to ensure investor confidence. Referring to the open-sourcing of the 0.1, 0.5, and 0.9 versions before, it can be concluded that there is hidden code in the X314 contract, and therefore it cannot be open-sourced out of fear. The biggest risk warning: after decompiling and querying ethervm, it is highly suspected that a certain 314 has a hidden issuance switch to increase mining pool output and arbitrage. The field is as follows: 0x40c10f19mint(address,uint256). The risk alert level for this switch is the highest level, and generally, ordinary developers do not set this switch.

  • SlowMist reveals a new scam: maliciously modifying RPC node links to defraud assets

    SlowMist security team has exposed a new type of cryptocurrency scam. This scam uses the remote procedure call (RPC) function of modified Ethereum nodes to commit fraud. The specific process of the scam is as follows: the scammer induces the user to download the imToken wallet and gain the user's trust by using 1 USDT and a small amount of ETH as bait. Then, the scammer guides the user to change their ETH's RPC URL to the node controlled by the scammer. The node uses Tenderly's fork function to falsify the user's USDT balance. When the user sees the incorrect balance, they may attempt a transfer, but the scammer has already disappeared. According to SlowMist Technology's report, this type of scam exploits users' trust and negligence, resulting in asset losses. The SlowMist security team reminds users to remain vigilant when trading and avoid using untrusted RPC nodes.
