Two traders exploited a rapid transaction execution system on Base to profit $1.3 million during the launch of Jesse Pollak’s ‘JESSE’ token. These trades used Base’s flashblocks technology, highlighting potential vulnerabilities in decentralized systems. 261.7 million JESSE tokens were acquired by the traders through automated bots within minutes, raising concerns about fair trading practices and the security of emerging blockchain technologies. The incident, witnessed during Jesse Pollak’s launch of his creator coin on Base, underscores the risks associated with flashblocks. This resulted in a market surge of $33.5 million, demonstrating the potential for significant market events in this space.
