๐Ÿš€ Sky Discloses 14 Million USDS Earning Chronicle Points on X Platform

According to Odaily, Sky has revealed on the X platform that 14 million USDS are currently earning Chronicle points. These points can later be exchanged for CLE tokens at a rate of 10 Chronicle points per CLE token. Chronicle's history dates back to the early days of Maker. During the development of DAI, Ethereum lacked a decentralized oracle, leading to the creation of Chronicle as the oracle for the Maker protocol. This made Chronicle the first decentralized oracle on Ethereum.

By the end of 2023, Chronicle was spun off as an independent project, leveraging its team's unique expertise in Oracle systems and unmatched reliability. Currently, Chronicle secures over $8.4 billion in assets and has been operational for more than seven years.

๐Ÿš€ New Scam Targets DeFi Users Through Abandoned Project Websites

According to PANews, a new scam targeting DeFi users has emerged, where fraudsters take over the websites of abandoned projects to deceive former users into signing malicious 'fund-draining' transactions. Unlike traditional scams that actively target victims, this passive approach specifically aims at users who may still have bookmarks of old projects.

DeFiLlama's anonymous founder, 0xngmi, has issued a warning, stating that expired domains have been removed from their platform and browser extensions. However, users are advised to remain vigilant. As these project teams have disbanded, there is no one to promptly identify security vulnerabilities or replace malicious interfaces, leaving users with the responsibility to thoroughly verify each transaction they intend to sign.

A member of the Maker/Sky community highlighted that the official domain of the now-defunct Maker subDAO Sakura is currently available for sale at a nominal price. This situation underscores the importance of caution among DeFi users to prevent falling victim to such scams.
