According to our tracking data, the USDC depegging in Q1 2023 led to a massive MEV revenue peak. Arbitrage contributed $40M, sandwich MEV extracted $46M, and liquidation took $2M from the market. 📈
MEV searchers generated over $89M in Q1 revenue, but a large portion (78.9%) was paid by sandwich attackers to builders for successful front-run/back-run transactions. Arbitrageurs and liquidators paid over half of their revenue to builders and validators. 💰
Amidst the panic, one unfortunate trader lost almost $2M in a single swap, starting with over $2M and ending up with only 0.05 USDT. 😢
Intrigued by the market signals preceding the USDC price plunge? Attend our event and learn how to stay at the cutting edge of the market!

This is an in-depth 🧵thread🧵 of the Euler Attack. We not only cover what happened during the attack, but also give our analysis on the beneficiaries and losers, whales affected, and addressed with net large flows👇
Ethereum-based noncustodial lending protocol Euler Finance faced a flash loan attack on March 13. The attacker stole millions in $DAI, $USDC, $WETH, $stETH, and $wstETH.
The exploiters' addresses transferred $740.28 million to the Euler contract, while the Euler contract transferred $944.75 million to the exploiters' addresses. As a result, the exploiters gained $204.46 million from Euler Finance, aligning closely with third-party data.

@christine_dkim: it may vary and rely more on analyzing smart contract activity and understanding how markets are moving. It's crucial to note that MEV is multifaceted, and one's interest may heavily depend on their focus.

🧵Analysis & Thoughts: User's $2M Loss in USDC De-Pegging Crisis Raises Questions About KyberNetwork's Responsibility.
1/6 In the wake of the recent #USDC de-pegging crisis, a user named CHIA reportedly lost $2 million while converting 3Crv to USDT through @KyberSwap. While @KyberNetwork issued a lengthy statement on Twitter absolving themselves of any blame, an analysis of the situation suggests… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2/6 The root of the issue seems to lie in Kyber Network's inability to enforce the user's 0.5% slippage limit and revert the trade accordingly. CHIA has stated in the Kyber Network Telegram group that they had set the slippage to 0.5%, and the input data of the transaction… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
