It has come to light that the SwirlLend project on the Base blockchain has fallen victim to a rug pull incident. A rug pull generally denotes a scenario in which the developers of a cryptocurrency venture abruptly abandon or disengage from the project after siphoning a substantial sum of money from investors or users. In this instance, the Total Value Locked (TVL) within SwirlLend experienced a sharp decline, plummeting from $784.3K to $49.2K.
Furthermore, it appears that those responsible for SwirlLend rug pull, have executed the transfer of a significant volume of cryptocurrency from the Base blockchain to the Ethereum blockchain. To be precise, they have moved around $289.5K worth of various cryptocurrencies, encompassing 140.68 ETH and 32.6K USDC, from the Base platform to Ethereum. Additionally, they still retain approximately 92 ETH on the Base blockchain.

Interestingly, even though Coinbase’s Base blockchain launched just a week ago with relatively limited secured capital, it has already experienced a collection of fraudulent activities and security breaches. SwirlLend, a lending protocol active on both Base and the recently established Linea chain, swiftly drained a combined total of $460,000 from these two chains right after its initiation, subsequently erasing its presence from social media platforms.
