1 min. readA user of the layer-3 blockchain, Degen Chain, experienced a significant loss of 90% of their funds amounting to 785,000 DEGEN tokens, nearly $5,000, during a bridge transfer to Base, an Ethereum layer-2 protocol. The incident was attributed to an internal bug within Degen Chain. Despite acknowledging some responsibility for not proactively addressing the issue with service providers, the protocol plans to compensate affected users. However, community members expressed concerns over the risks associated with bridge transfers in layer-3 ecosystems like Degen Chain, indicating that they may not be prepared for widespread adoption. In a related development, Optimism, an Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution provider, announced intentions to incorporate layer-3 applications into the OP Stack, a move aimed at expanding the capabilities of the ecosystem beyond L2 chains and application developers.
