SexDao SED Blockchain Exploit
On October 5, using on-chain data monitoring, Numen Cyber Labs discovered that the SED project had a runaway event.
The project first exchanged a large number of SED tokens into the pool, in exchange for a part of the USDT. They then subsequently removed the previously added liquidity. As a result, the current pool’s liquidity was essentially wiped out, causing the corresponding SED tokens to have completely lost their value.
Runaway events such as these occur frequently, and we recommend users and investors carefully manage their assets and risks accordingly.
The project’s official Twitter account has been deleted as seen below:

As shown in the figure below, the project party first put up a large number of SED tokens for exchange, and subsequently exchanged it for USDT.
After the exchange, all the liquidity added was removed, and nearly 22W USDT and a large number of SED tokens were removed, causing the liquidity of the pool to drop to 0.
