DeFi Exploit: Ankr & Helio - REKT Date: 12/02/2022 Loss: $24,000,000 USD Tags: Ankr, Helio, REKT Summary: 18 quadrillion dollars. That’s the theoretical value of the 60 trillion aBNBc that was illegitimately minted from Ankr. Unfortunately, that’s more than the GDP of the entire world, and the aBNBc liquidity couldn’t stretch that far, so the hacker only got away with $5M.
