Was It a Hack or Governance? BONK’s $21M Treasury Vote Divides Crypto

BonkDAO says it has alerted law enforcement about the treasury drain and is coordinating with exchanges to manage the situation.

  • An anonymous wallet acquired a significant amount of BONK tokens, used them to pass a governance vote, and subsequently drained $21.2 million from the BonkDAO treasury.
  • The incident has sparked debate within the crypto community, with some labeling it a theft and others arguing it represents a legitimate, albeit exploitative, use of DAO governance mechanisms.
  • BonkDAO has alerted law enforcement and is collaborating with exchanges and the Solana Foundation to address the situation, while the BONK token experienced a price drop following the news.
