BlockBeats News, on September 26, the XPL contract on the Aster platform experienced significant abnormal fluctuations this morning. Community analysis indicated that this abnormal event was due to serious negligence by the operator, rather than a vulnerability or attack. Specifically: the index price was hardcoded at $1; the mark price was capped at $1.22; when the price cap was removed, the price instantly soared to $4, while prices on other trading platforms remained stable.
The Aster platform promptly issued a response stating, "We have noticed abnormal price fluctuations in the XPL perpetual contract trading pair. Please rest assured that all user funds are safe. We are conducting a comprehensive review and will compensate affected users for their losses."
As of the time of publication, the issue with the XPL perpetual contract trading pair has been fully resolved. All users who were forcibly liquidated during this period will have their liquidation losses calculated and directly compensated in USDT to their wallets within the next few hours.
