Slope wallets blamed for Solana-based wallet attack
As the dust settles from yesterday’s Solana ecosystem mayhem, data is surfacing that wallet provider Slope is largely responsible for the security exploit that stole crypto from thousands of Solana users.
Slope is a Web3 wallet provider for the Solana layer-1 (L1) blockchain. Through the Solana Status Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) account on Aug. 3, the Solana Foundation pointed the finger at Slope stating that “it appears affected addresses were at one point created, imported, or used in Slope mobile wallet applications.”
