“Picture December: Recession looms, Fed hesitates on easing due to inflation,” said McGlone. 
Hayden Adams, the founder of Uniswap Labs, has dismissed a developer known by the pseudonym AzFlin following allegations of creating a FrensTech meme coin and then withdrawing liquidity shortly after its launch.
Preliminary damages are estimated at 14 wETH, equivalent to approximately $25,830. Adams stressed that the company does not condone such actions and, therefore, felt compelled to respond accordingly.

In the crypto realm, liquidity refers to how easily a token can be converted into another digital asset or cash without significantly impacting its price.

Think of an automated market maker as a critical software or protocol, the absence of which would render the operation of decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges virtually impossible.

This platform, crafted to stabilize liquidity pools within the Curve DeFi protocol, has fallen victim to a hacker who made off with 1700 ETH, a haul worth $3.2 million.

The Conic Finance team has disclosed that this particular exploit is solely connected to the ETH Omnipool.
