Terra (LUNA) is delisted from exchanges, while Avalanche-based Blizz Finance is losing money and Chainlink (LINK) is to blame. Here’s why…
LUNA is making headlines again as a losing coin
The problem is now with Chainlink, a Blockchain that allows hybrid smart contracts to power decentralized applications. Chainlink suspended price updates for LUNA when the price dropped below the minimum allowed for LUNA/USD on Chainlink.
How did hackers steal money?
As price updates for Terra have been paused, network entities are in the dark about what’s going on with LUNA pricing. As a result, the attackers were able to deposit millions of Terra at the old high price of $0.10 set by Chainlink Oracle, which was not updated at the time. They then began to borrow all of their collateral.
Chainlink to blame for LUNA imbalance?
Chainlink is accused of allowing some malicious actors to deposit low-value LUNA and still borrow their full collateral; Considering the downward fluctuation in LUNA’s price at the time, its value should have been significantly lower. Blizz Finance was one of countless businesses that lost money when attackers borrowed more than they invested. Blizz Finance is an Avalanche-based liquidity mechanism.
Blizz Finance heard about Chainlink’s handling of LUNA’s decline He expressed his discomfort on Twitter. Chainlink’s oracle capability was designed to provide continuous price updates to decentralized services, but failed to do so in this case. This carelessness is now blamed for the losses suffered by Blizz Finance and other companies.
An investigation into the incident will be conducted, according to Blizz Finance
