The project said several wallets had “coordinated a liquidity attack with an egregious malicious attempt” followed by “aggressive ZKJ sell-offs.”
The team behind Polyhedra Network reported several factors that likely contributed to an 83% price crash of its ZKJ token on Sunday.
In a Monday X post, Polyhedra attributed five significant factors causing Polyhedra Network (ZKJ) to fall to $0.32 from $1.92 within hours — a drop of more than 80%. According to the blockchain project, there were “significant token deposits stemming from a coordinated on-chain liquidity attack, substantial deposits by Wintermute into centralized exchanges, and cascading liquidations on these exchanges.”
Polyhedra said several wallets had “coordinated a liquidity attack with an egregious malicious attempt,” with withdrawals targeting a ZKJ/KOGE liquidity pool on PancakeSwap, followed by “aggressive ZKJ sell-offs.” The affected trading pairs had fragile and imbalanced liquidity, leading the sell pressure to extend into ZKJ’s primary USDT pool.
