The decentralized lending platform CrediX experienced a $4.5 million exploit on August 4, 2025, which is now suspected to be an exit scam. The attacker exploited a bridge role to mint tokens, leading to the theft of approximately $4.5 million. Following the incident, the CrediX team has disappeared, with the project’s X (formerly Twitter) account inactive and its website offline since the day of the exploit. Security firm CertiK reported that the exploiter has since deposited about half of the stolen funds, approximately 630 ETH valued at $2.8 million, into Tornado Cash, a cryptocurrency mixer service, while the remainder remains in a specific wallet. There has been no return of funds, and the situation is being closely monitored. Separately, the MEV protocol Eden Network announced it is shutting down operations and plans to distribute its Ethereum treasury to token holders, with its $EDEN token rising 63.8% following the announcement.
