Everscale is a proprietary blockchain ecosystem based on the Telegram Open Network (TON) architecture. It was launched in May 2020 under the name Free TON, but was renamed Everscale in November 2021.

The developers of the De-Fi project Platypus Finance previously wrote that they were suspending the operation of all liquidity pools due to suspicious activity. It later turned out that the site had been hacked. According toย PeckShield, the hackers siphoned off more than $2 million in digital assets.

In February of this year, the project became the victim of an attack, as a result of which the attackers stole almost $9 million. The attacker carried out the attack using the function of emergency withdrawal of money placed for a loan.
