On January 18, 2024, at 9:30AM UTC, Manta Pacific experienced an illicit DDoS attack that severely impeded access to its RPCs. Manta Network is working with authorities and various legal council to take action as a next step against this illegal attack.

Meanwhile, users found themselves in an unusual situation where gas prices were driven up due to massive user interaction from pending transactions during the illicit DDoS attack. As a result, users interacting with the chain saw gas fees significantly higher than normal.

Manta Network prides itself on being the first Ethereum L2 on Celestia. By leveraging Celestia DA, users are able to save significantly on gas costs. Over the course of 1 month, the network has saved users an estimated $1m in gas fees.

Unfortunately, this incident drove a temporary increase in gas prices that were far from normal. In response, the gas fees from this incident will be reimbursed to the affected users.

Thank you for all of your support and patience throughout this process as we continue to build Manta Network. We have been building for over 3 years now, and minor setbacks like these will be resolved so we can move forward together as a community. ❤️
