Avalanche-based Social Media Protocol, Stars Arena, Secures Funding to Cover Losses from Hack
A decentralized social media protocol called Stars Arena has received funding to recover from a recent hack that resulted in a loss of nearly $3 million. The platform made the announcement on social media, without disclosing the source of the funding. However, it assured users that all funds would be restored after a comprehensive audit and reopening of the smart contract.
Stars Arena also confirmed that a white hat development team would investigate the incident. In response to concerns about the hack affecting the platform’s viability, Avax Labs CEO Emin Gün Sirer pointed out that other platforms like Wormhole and Axie Infinity had experienced larger hacks but remained operational. He emphasized that Stars Arena would continue to thrive and described the hack as a minor obstacle in improving contract security.

While some may doubt Stars Arena’s future, CEO Emin Gün Sirer’s comparison to other successful platforms that have overcome similar challenges highlights the protocol’s potential for continued success.
