Many people should have seen this regarding OKX DEX yesterday.$BTC
Tens of millions of dollars in losses, the on-chain hacker address was posted for a day, the project party urgently suspended operations, some faced liquidation, and others panicked and withdrew funds.
To be honest, when I saw this message, my heart skipped a beat. Not because I have assets in it, but because I suddenly realized one thing:
We research candlestick patterns every day, keep an eye on points, and calculate profits and losses, yet we rarely think: what should we do if the exchange or the cross-chain bridge itself encounters problems?
This is not the first time, and it won’t be the last.
· Last year there was XXX (you can fill in a similar incident you know)
· This year there is OKX
So today, I want to use this incident to remind myself and my brothers a few things:
1️⃣ Don't put all your large funds in hot wallets; cold wallets are truly necessary.
2️⃣ Don't blindly chase those new protocols that just went live and haven't been audited; you're watching their profits, but they're watching your principal.
3️⃣ After the incident, the first thing is not to blame, but to check if your assets are at risk.
The market won't close; opportunities are always there, but if you get wiped out by a security incident, then you're really out.
Let's talk in the comments: Were you affected by this OKX incident? How concerned are you about on-chain security now?
