DeltaPrime DeFi Hacked on ARB Chain: Millions in Crypto Stolen
One of the cybersecurity companies stated that there was “multiple suspicious transactions” related concerning DeltaPrime on ARB chain. Reportedly, the administrator of the protocol’s system lost possession of the personal secret key which is the gateway to the smart contracts on the platform. Because of this breach, the intruder could alter the proxy smart contract and leverage it.
Some of DeltaPrime’s DeFi liquidity pools, such as DPUSDC, DPARB, and DPBTCb suffered due to loss of assets. Cyvers also noted that the suspicious address has begun to exchange USDC tokens to Ethereum (ETH). This news comes hot off the trail of an incident in mid-July where cross chain DeFi protocol Li.Fi, the project was entirely suspected in the disappearance of nearly 11 million dollars in cryptos as a result of an exploit. At that time, reports indicated that the extended address relating to the hacked hands contained in no less than 6 million ETH coins and many stablecoins.
In another situation that occurred earlier in August – an additional fifteen million dollars were stolen from the cross-chain gaming orientated bridge Ronin which is developing a similar strategy for rebuilding its total value.

After the recent investigations into the Ronin bridge hack, one update Sky Mavis shared on the X platform was important. The Norwegian judicial agency Kokrim could freeze assets related to the Ronin Bridge theft amounting to $5.7 million.
To the affected communities within the Ecosystem of Axie and Ronin, this achievement constituted a significant milestone in seeking accountability and compensation. While this information marked a certain conclusion to depressing events for the community, the interest in more information regarding the return of the assets remained very high.
