The BadgerDAO token (BADGER) dropped by about 20% after the news of the hacking attack. The platform aims to earn Bitcoin revenue through various vaults.
Blockchain audit company PeckShield reported in the early hours of Thursday that the loss exceeded $120 million, spanning 2 BTC and more than 150 ETH, and it has been sustained. However, various assets were destroyed during the hacker attack. There were several large wallet losses, including $5 million in a transaction.

Strong opposition and a bigger picture
Unsurprisingly, the community’s response to this news was not ideal. Many Twitter responses from users pointed out that they were heartbroken due to the loss of funds. Some users even continue to imply that hackers are a carpet because it looks like a front-end attack.
Some further speculation comes from the financial loss of the Celsius network on the CeFi platform. However, so far, the note on degrees Celsius seems to be a rumor with no substance. Only time will tell whether more precise details are exposed, or whether Celsius will issue a statement on the rumors.
In addition, many community members pointed out that the agreement to “suspend” smart contracts-although it is wise to protect user funds-violates the principle of decentralization.
Overall, the continued emergence of insurance plans bodes well for DeFi. Our NewsBTC team only wants the BadgerDAO protocol and its users to go well.
