The team explained on Aug. 15 that they plan on redeploying a new farm contract and open-source it on-chain, relinquish minting rights — presumably of RCKT — and will soon call on the hackers to return the assets, among other things:The emergency programme agreed upon by the team is as follows.

On Aug. 14, a hacker stole approximately 471 ETH and bridged it from Base to Ethereum, according to blockchain security firm PeckShield.

RocketSwap Labs said attributed the exploit to a brute force attack on the protocol’s server:“A brute force hack of the server was detected, and due to the proxy contract used for the farm contract, there were multiple high-risk permissions that led to the transfer of the farm"s assets. We shut down the farm to prevent further damage.”


RocketSwap is a decentralized exchange on Base, with plans to gradually become community-owned through a decentralized autonomous organization.
