After almost a month-long shutdown, IOTA is back
On February 12th of this year, the IOTA Foundation announced that their Trinity wallet was attacked via Moonpay, a third-party integration, which caused the loss of 8.55 Ti ($2M) from 50 users. As a result, they shut down the network for almost an entire month before getting it back online.
The Tangle
Unlike Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies, IOTA uses “the tangle” which leverages the power of a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) as opposed to a blockchain. The Tangle supposedly allows for higher throughput as well as no fees which makes it ideal for supply chain applications.
Trinity Wallet
The IOTA Foundation was eager to launch their newest product, the Trinity wallet. The latter was allegedly a huge step forward in terms of security. Ethan Dietrich, CEO of SixGen affirmed that: “It is clear the Trinity team takes security very seriously and has applied best practices throughout the wallet’s development.”
Unfortunately, as this isn’t the first attack after the release of the aforementioned wallet, it seems there’s more work to be done.
The Coordinator
To prevent early-stage attacks, the foundation had created a node called “The Coordinator” through which all transactions have to go through and be approved. In a sense, this communicates that decentralisation is a “utopian” dream and centralisation is necessary at least in the first phase of the project.
While controversial, this node is what prevented the attack from spreading further and affecting more users, as it was shut down and without it, the network cannot process transactions.
Final Thoughts
While blockchain technology, and in this case DAG, have brought us a long way, there’s more work to be done. Common sense dictates that a supply manager looking to integrate blockchain/DAG technology to their business is unlikely to choose a network that shut down for an entire month for security reasons.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
