⚡ Important Security Warning | SWEAT Protocol Survives Major Attack
The SWEAT Protocol faced a serious hack attempt on the NEAR network, where an attacker exploited a vulnerability in the smart contract of the token, managing to steal around 13.7 billion SWEAT worth approximately $3.5 million, which represents a significant portion of the supply.
But the most important part of the story is not just the hack... but the quick response.
The SWEAT team immediately:
✅ Temporarily paused the contract
✅ Communicated with MEXC to freeze the attacker’s account
✅ Coordinated with Rhea Finance to suspend SWEAT trading
✅ Prevented the cashing out of stolen funds
✅ Fully recovered user funds
📌 The result:
The attack was contained, user funds were recovered, and operations resumed, with the team announcing a detailed investigation and legal action.
This incident reminds us that the crypto world is not without risks, but the strength of any project shows in moments of crisis:
Does the team disappear? Or do they act swiftly to protect users?
In the case of SWEAT, the response was fast and decisive.
⚠️ Lesson for investors:
Before investing in any project, don’t just look at the price… also monitor the strength of the team, security mechanisms, and the speed of crisis management.
