1/How @ElevenFinance got hacked? 🧵

The exploit was possible due to a bug in emergencyBurn() function of ElevenNeverSellVault.

There is a transfer of previously deposited funds during the function call, but there is a lack of burning of Nerve shares to account for the transfer Image
2/ In other words, an attacker could double-spend Nerve shares he acquired during initial deposit to the vault.

emergencyBurn() didn’t burn 11NRV Tokens so an attacker used them in “withdrawAll()” to get additional LP Tokens in return.
3/ He burned LP Tokens on PancakeSwap getting the underlying tokens.

After repaying the FlashSwap, attacker was left with funds from burning second time the 11NRV Tokens.

This was done on multiple vaults on ElevenFinance, marking a total loss of $4.5M.

1/ Do you think ERC20 approve() is safe? Well… 🧵

Function in itself is safe but there are two scenario where ERC20 approve() shows its rough edges.

First is a front-running attack on approve().

Imagine following scenario 👇
2/
* Alice approves Bob for 20 Tokens
* After some time, Alice changes approve to 10
* Bob front-runs the Alice TX for approve(10)
* Bob spends 20 Tokens
* Alice TX passes
* Bob spends additional 10 Tokens from Alice.

Why is that?
3/ Attack is also possible because approve() overrides current allowance.

It doesn’t increase/decrease allowance in atomic manner.

How can we limit against that?

There are two approaches to limit the attack vector.

1/ Why China is cracking down on #Bitcoin? 🧵

Currently many of the Chinese provinces where Bitcoin miners resided, rolled out new policies restricting or banning the #BTC miners.

Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Yunnan and Sichuan banned Bitcoin.
2/ Energy companies were told to stop providing energy to crypto miners due to them using too much electricity.

It became an illegal activity to mine cryptocurrencies. If someone would be found to do so regardless, they would be added to the blacklist of social credit system.
3/ All decision seems to be linked mainly with Energy usage.

China plans to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 and reducing carbon intensity or the amount of carbon emitted per unit of GDP, by more than 65% by 2030.

Bitcoin mining ban can help with that.
