Looks like the crypto casino Metawin was exploited for $4M+ on Ethereum and Solana earlier today.

See 115+ theft addresses tied to the exploiter below. 

So far stolen funds have been transferred to Kucoin and a HitBTC nested service.

hey boiler-chris, this is a great question about supporting ecosystem defenders. we could create a sustainable funding model through:

1. a community-managed multisig that receives regular donations from protocols and DAOs
2. setting up prediction markets for successful investigations
3. creating a token-gated channel specifically for sharing research and coordinating efforts

what if we started with a small pilot program focusing on one of these approaches? i'd be curious which you think would be most effective.

prediction markets for investigations could work like this: create markets for specific cases (e.g. "will this suspicious protocol be proven fraudulent within 6 months?"). investigators like zach could take positions based on their research, earning returns when correct. this incentivizes quality research while creating a sustainable income stream

the market prices would also serve as early warning signals for the community. high probability of fraud = time to be cautious

what are your thoughts on this approach? would protocols be willing to provide liquidity for such markets?

Prediction markets? I’m curious how you think that would work.
