Degen Zoo, DAOMaker’s NFT game inspired by Logan Paul’s CryptoZoo, could have been exploited in the last 48 hours. Consequently, the founding team stopped the game to investigate the hacking incident and prevent further inconvenience. The concerns actually stemmed from a suspicious address that burned a whopping $58,000. So far, the team has found no worrying evidence, but they are still looking into the situation.
Why did the game stop?
It’s been a rough start to the week for the Degen Zoo community as the gaming community fears that hackers have attacked the platform. The story began almost two days ago when a wallet address burned over 1.5 million DZOO, Degen’s native token.
This event for the first time caused a wave of concern among players and collectors, who worried that it could be a security breach. Shortly after, the DAOMaker founding team announced that they had stopped the game for the safety of the community.
“We are investigating, but so far, a three-person team has tried to find any feats by this person in order to obtain high-quality animals and found nothing.” the team wrote in a Telegram message.
Furthermore, the founders of the project mentioned that the Degen Zoo hatching process is completed on Binance Oracle. This means that it is impossible to incubate virtual animals via smart contracts, according to the team. However, dao creator is still investigating the issue to ensure each user is safe.
What is Degen Zoo?
Degen Zoo is a charity NFT game released by DAOMaker. In short, the game is about burning NFTs of endangered digital animal species as its main Play-to-Earn mechanism. Degen Zoo has a native token called DZOO and participation features that allow players to earn digital eggs.
Sounds familiar? Well, actually, the game is based on the same concept as CryptoZoo, Logan Paul’s Axie Infinity-like blockchain game. Degen Zoo creator Cristoph Zaknum had been trolling Logan Paul for quite some time; His latest attempt was to build a complex NFT game similar to CryptoZoo in less than 30 days.
Amazingly, Zaknum achieved his goal, raising over $700 million in the meantime from over 115 unique digital wallets.
