AI agent launchpad Arata crypto has suffered a major crypto hack after the market maker wallet hit for 1M tokens, worth around $400k.

ARATA, an AI agent LaunchPad on Ethereum, has left everyone speechless, and not for the better. Last night, the price of ARATA suddenly collapsed, leaving holders speechless.

According to the Team, someone hacked the market maker’s wallet and sold 1 million tokens, worth around $400k, causing the disaster. However, many are perplexed and skeptical about this alleged hacker attack.

ARATA’s Team Blames Hacker Attack On Market Maker Wallet

Well, it seems that this is what happened. 10% of the supply was sold in two transactions, and some insinuated that it was an inside job, with links to the developer’s wallet. Meanwhile, the Arata Team’s official statement is that the ecosystem and CEX wallet have experienced a security breach, during which a hacker sold many tokens.

They reassured me that all team wallets are secure and locked. None of the team’s tokens have been affected, and they are 100% committed to the project. In response to the breach and to save ARATA, they will initiate a token buyback from the open market. Also, an investigation is ongoing to understand how the hacker managed to access the market maker (MM) wallet.

Many holders sold at a loss with what remained in their bags, while others decided to trust the team and, especially, the market’s unpredictability by buying the dip. Arata’s price reached an all-time low (ATL) of $880K market cap. Since then, the price has increased by over 175%.

We previously mentioned Arata in our articles, following the AI agent trend that clearly dominates the current market focus. Although unfortunate, the incident reminds us that the crypto world is full of unforeseen events, and investors must always stay aware of the associated risks.

If Arata regains investor trust and the price rises sufficiently, we may witness an incredible comeback. In the crypto space, such comebacks are far from unprecedented.
