One of the wildest OOPS moments in crypto
Back in 2017, Parity wallets were all connected to one shared smart contract
Problem is the contract was never initialized properly
random user accidentally became the owner, triggered a kill function, and permanently destroyed the contract 💀
Over 500,000 ETH instantly locked forever
If we saw that in terms of today’s prices, that’s more than $1.1B frozen in time
Craziest part is after realizing what happened, he simply wrote
“I accidentally killed it.”
Lmfao this was very painful(Justin Wu)
