According to CoinDesk, a recently issued gaming token on layer-2 network Blast, named Super Sushi Samurai, has been exploited, resulting in a loss of $4.6 million. The project released its SSS token on March 17 and planned to introduce the game today. However, an unknown entity exploited a vulnerability in the smart contract's mint function before selling tokens directly into the SSS liquidity pool. Blockchain security firm CertiK confirmed that a total of $4.6 million was affected by the exploit.
The exploiter has attempted to contact the team, describing the event as a "white hat rescue" hack, in a BlastScan message. The Super Sushi Samurai team is in touch with the exploiter. SSS lost more than 99% of its value after the exploiter sold the tokens, according to CoinGecko. The Blast mainnet went live last month after receiving $2.3 billion in deposits. It is now one of the largest layer-2 networks, with $1 billion in total value locked (TVL), DefiLlama data shows.
