SpiritSwap Avoids Shutdown with Acquisition by Power
Key Points:
- SpiritSwap, a decentralized exchange (DEX) on Fantom, was facing closure due to funds stuck on Multichain.
- Community voted to transfer SpiritSwap to Power, a fellow nonfungible token platform and DEX on Fantom.
- Power will deposit 200,000 USDC into SpiritSwap treasury.
- SpiritSwap had announced shutdown if no team took over after Multichain exploit.
- Both SpiritSwap and Power were affected by Multichain incident, but Power suffered smaller losses.
Hot Take:
SpiritSwap’s acquisition by Power comes as a relief for the crypto community. The transfer of funds and the commitment from Power to support SpiritSwap’s treasury ensures the DEX’s continued operation. This acquisition also highlights the vulnerability of decentralized protocols to exploits and the importance of finding solutions to prevent such incidents in the future.
