dYdX prevents a $2M security issue with a newly deployed smart contract
dYdX, an Ethereum-based Layer 2 Protocol, was notified of a possible security breach that white hat coders prevented from a successful implementation. The platform is one of the most trending exchanges known for its non-custodial nature.
dYdX prevents loss of funds
dYdX allows users to leverage trade using smart contracts and has attracted a huge number of users all well. Recently, users witnessed a huge surge in daily volumes of the platform, reaching a whopping $10 billion mark!"At 05:21 UTC today, the dYdX team was alerted of a security issue with a newly deployed smart contract," said the decentralized exchange (DEX) in a tweet.As per the details, the recovery of the funds which were at risk was done with the help of white hat hackers and Sam Sun, better known as Samczsun. These funds of 700 accounts were transferred to a smart escrow contract during the white hat recovery.
The owners who set an allowance to deposit funds were asked not to initiate transfers until the dYdX team completes the entire process and the risk is over.
"If you have set allowance to deposit funds to the dYdX Layer 2 Perpetuals product since Wednesday 11/24 DO NOT SEND ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO YOUR WALLET UNTIL COMPLETING THE RECOVERY STEPS at http://trade.dydx.exchange," said another tweet.According to a recent report by Elliptic, such fraudulent activities on Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms have led to a cumulative loss of around $10.5 billion for the year 2021.

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 success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
