The real-world asset tokenisation protocol Grand Base (GB), which operates on Coinbase's layer-2 blockchain and launched less than five months ago, has incurred losses totalling $2 million following a compromise of its private key.

An important update:

On April 15 at 03:01:27 AM +UTC, an exploit happened.

For this specific reason, we urge all our community members to stay away from this contract as it is not safe anymore.

As everyone saw, we have been exploited and the LP was drained. We are working…

According to blockchain analytics firm PeckShield, the leak of the private key led to the theft of $1.7 million in tokens from its liquidity pools, which were subsequently exchanged on-chain for Ether and transferred to an external address.

Concurrently, the protocol’s native token experienced a 99% decline in value over the past 24 hours as a consequence of the incident.

On Telegram, a Grand Base admin emphasized that:

"… this token contract is NOT safe anymore and you should NOT swap or interact with it, stay safe. We will update you asap on the next step."

In a subsequent analysis by blockchain analytics firm CertiK, it was revealed that the hacker had seized control of Grand Base deployer contracts, enabling the unauthorised minting and withdrawal of an excessive number of GB tokens.

Thereafter, it was confirmed that the stolen funds totalled $2 million.

A further 90 ETH confirmed as stolen funds, bringing the total to 615 ETH (~$2m)

As the situation unfolded, Grand Base's management announced ongoing efforts to monitor the hacker's wallets and collaborate with centralised exchanges to prevent any further fund recovery attempts.

They added:

"We are in talks with CEXs [centralised exchanges] to freeze any funds that he might move…The team is working round the clock to address the security breach and minimise any further risk to our users."
