DxSale is suspected of "insider theft," with over $7.3 million in LP drained

On-chain security analysis account Eye stated that the BNB Chain project launch platform DxSale is suspected of exploiting a hidden backdoor to siphon off funds from an old liquidity pool locked in 2021, involving over 1,400 LPs and an amount of approximately $7.3 million. The analysis indicates that this attack includes operations such as "silent ownership transfer" and over 80 wallet hops.

After the LP was drained, the attack address received over 1,200 BNB (approximately $763,000), with the funds believed to come directly from multiple stolen LP pools. More concerning is that this address had previously been dormant for a long time but has a direct on-chain association with a wallet marked as related to the DxSale team; this address is also one of the important funding inflow addresses for the DxSale smart contract.

Subsequently, the attack address transferred about 3,400 BNB (approximately $1.2 million) to multiple wallets and completed the fund transfer through several Binance deposit addresses. Eye stated that if the related accusations are true, it implies that the DxSale team may have reserved a backdoor for the platform years ago and ultimately carried out the attack themselves. They also called for Binance to freeze the related funds, believing that these assets essentially belong to the project investors who had previously financed through DxSale. DxSale was one of the most well-known launchpads and LP locking infrastructure on the BNB Chain, with projects like SAFEMOON having used its services.
