👉👉👉 Cardano Hit With Massive #DDoSAttack Yet Thriving, Here's Reason

Cardano Blockchain Faces DDoS Attack with Limited Impact on Mainnet

The Unexpected Twist with Cardano DDoS Attack

The Cardano blockchain recently experienced a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, yet it has managed to continue functioning with minimal impact on its #mainnet . The attack reportedly began at Block 10,487,530.

Hacks and Attacks in the Digital Currency Ecosystem
Hacks and related cyber attacks are not uncommon in the digital currency ecosystem. Many #layer1 networks have faced such threats, but Cardano has demonstrated a unique resilience. According to Crypto Capital Founder Dan Gambardello, Cardano remains fully operational despite the attack due to its decentralized nature, which spreads out the load, preventing a single point of failure.

Details of the Attack

According to "elraulito," the #CTO of Fluid Tokens, the attack has not ceased. The attacker is executing each transaction with a total of 194 smart contracts, spending 0.9 ADA per transaction while filling each block with numerous transactions. These smart contracts are of the REWARD type, allowing large transactions with minimal expenditure.

Despite the ongoing attack, Cardano has not experienced any chain halts or significant congestion. Remarkably, the price of ADA, Cardano's native token, has risen by 7%, reaching $0.3964. Over the past 24 hours, the price has surged from a low of $0.3667 to a high of $0.3968.

Not a Time for Hiccups

Cardano is set for major ecosystem upgrades with the Chang hard fork expected by month's end. Founder #charleshoskinson confirms the timeline, and despite no recent updates, the community remains optimistic. Cardano's successful handling of a recent DDoS attack has strengthened confidence in its readiness for the transition to a self-governing protocol.

Cardano Developer Stops DDoS Attack and Recovers Funds
#ADA #DDoSAttack #Cardano $ADA

A Cardano developer successfully thwarted a DDoS attack, ensuring the blockchain's stability and even recovering some stolen funds.

The DDoS Attack on Cardano
Late Tuesday, the Cardano blockchain faced a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack aimed at stealing tokens staked on the network. Despite the attack, the network experienced no downtime and continued to function normally.

Quick Mitigation Efforts
DDoS attacks flood servers or blockchains with spam traffic, disrupting access to online services. Fluid Token's CTO, @ElRaulito_cnft, reported on X that the attack began at block 10,487,530, with each transaction executing 194 smart contracts. The attacker spent 0.9 ADA per transaction, filling each block with multiple transactions to stress the network.

Recovery and Network Stability
Philip Disarro, founder of the Cardano development firm Anastasia, revealed that the attack was quickly halted by deregistering the attacker's stake credential. Shortly after Disarro's post, the attacker stopped their efforts to protect their funds, but it was too late—the developer had already begun recovering the stolen funds.

Market Response
In the wake of the successful defense, ADA's price saw a modest increase, up 0.4% in the past 24 hours, trading at 38 cents during Asian morning hours.

Because of yesterday's #DDoSAttack , #MANTRA network has accumulated a large queue of recent transactions. This is leading to longer transaction times and impacts on gas fees. We are aware of this issue and working to resolve it.

#DDoSAttack Update on @MantaNetwork
Hey everyone, we are experiencing a calculated DDoS attack on the network. This happened at 9:30AM UTC, exactly the same time as our TGE event. Since that time, we have seen over 135m requests hit the RPC nodes, which indicates that this is a very aggressive and timed attack.
