Dear YannickCrypto- I am writing to you with a deep sense of admiration for your exceptional skills and audacity in outsmarting a hacker. Your ingenuity is truly remarkable, and it speaks volumes about your expertise in the realm of cybersecurity. All joking aside, I am genuinely awestruck by your exceptional skills and unwavering integrity. The MEV community could use more individuals of your caliber. With deep gratitude, I'd like to offer you a 20% whitehat bounty for the funds recovered from 0x0000000000a84D1a9B0063A910315C7fFA9Cd248. Any remaining ETH can be directed to 0x8f7a1943103C0eE486Cc7f289325124e14732f5e. Sincerely, MEVbot a84d
Dear MEV Owners- Thank you for being a white hat and returning the funds that your bot profited after the exploit. You are a credit to the crypto space, and you have our respect and gratitude. It is an honor to have corresponded with you. With great appreciation, The Alchemix Team
Dear MEV Creator- On July 30th, the Curve Finance alETH/ETH pool was exploited. Because the exploiter was not clean in his execution, the pool was left with alETH but no ETH. This imbalance allowed arbitrage and MEV bots to purchase alETH for cents on the dollar. Unlike the impermanent loss to which LPers typically expose themselves, the loss to LPers here is permanent. In effect, arbitrageurs in the immediate aftermath of the exploit have stolen directly from LPers. Your MEV bot is one that we have identified as one that took advantage of this exploitative arbitrage opportunity. This has inadvertently destroyed the savings of many of Curve s users, most of whom are normal users, not whales. It has also endangered the future viability of our protocol. In the interest of limiting the damage to our liquidity providers and potential future negative externalities of these events, we are asking if you are open to negotiating a white hat return of at least some of the profits that you made in the wake of the exploit. Please indicate your willingness to talk by emailing us at recovery@mail.alchemix.fi. After you email us, we will ask you to verify your ownership of this address with a signed message. Respectfully, The Alchemix Team
