Original Title: "pump.science Wallet Private Key Leak: An Ongoing Turmoil"
Original Author: Karen, Foresight News
On the evening of November 25, an address marked as the creator of RIF and URO on pump.fun issued Urolithin B (URO) tokens, leading many community members to mistakenly believe that this was an official token issued by pump.science. Urolithin B (URO) quickly "graduated," and within two minutes of joining the liquidity pool, its market capitalization soared to $10 million, but then began to decline continuously, and its current market cap has fallen back to about $100,000.
This incident also seems to have impacted the market performance of Urolithin A (URO) and Rifampicin (RIF), both of which dropped over 30% within 24 hours. So, what exactly happened?
pump.science Wallet Key Pair Leaked
The incident was triggered by the leak of pump.science's wallet key pair.
According to pump.science officials, due to a negligence in their GitHub repository, the wallet address T5j2UBTvLYPCwDP5MVkSALN7fwuLFDL9jUXJNjjb8sc was attacked, and the attacker found the key pair in the website's source code. This key pair was initially used for testing purposes in pump.science's GitHub, and the development team did not realize its importance.
From the scam URO token page that appeared on pump.fun last night, it can be seen that the wallet address deploying this fake token is indeed T5j2UBTvLYPCwDP5MVkSALN7fwuLFDL9jUXJNjjb8sc. The pump.fun platform shows that this address had previously deployed the official tokens Urolithin A (URO) and Rifampicin (RIF), which currently have market caps of approximately $87 million and $37 million, respectively.
The scam URO token was issued on-chain by the address starting with the leaked key pair T5j2UBT. This is why it shows on pump.fun that the deployer of the official URO and RIF tokens has released a new coin.
pump.science stated that this wallet was marked as the off-chain token creator for URO and RIF on pump.fun, and the attacker may use this wallet to issue more tokens. Any other tokens issued by this wallet, aside from URO and RIF, should be considered scams.
It is worth noting that pump.science officials have not taken any remedial or compensatory measures for users who mistakenly believed and bought the scam URO tokens, which has sparked widespread concern and discussion in the community.
pump.fun Off-chain Creation Function Causes Confusion in Blockchain Browsers and Data Tools
Another source of confusion for the community is the display of token creators in pump.fun and blockchain browsers and data tools.
The official URO and RIF tokens from pump.science were created off-chain via pump.fun, while the scam URO was created on-chain through pump.fun. However, the blockchain browser solscan shows that the deployer addresses for Urolithin A (URO) and Rifampicin (RIF) are: BLDRZQiqt4ESPz12L9mt4XTBjeEfjoBopGPDMA36KtuZ.
Next, let’s understand the off-chain token issuance function of pump.fun. On the pump.fun platform, off-chain token issuance is free, and the tokens will not be recorded on-chain until the first buyer appears. The first buyer needs to pay the issuance cost of the token. Therefore, for tokens created off-chain, the first buyer is often mistakenly identified as the token deployer by blockchain browsers like solscan or data tools like GMGN.
For example, after the official URO and RIF tokens were created off-chain, the wallet address of the first buyer, BLDRZQiqt4ESPz12L9mt4XTBjeEfjoBopGPDMA36KtuZ, was incorrectly marked as the token deployer by solscan or GMGN.
Here, I remind investors to distinguish between tokens created on-chain and off-chain on pump.fun and verify them to avoid falling into scam traps when investing in Meme tokens. Additionally, remain vigilant about any potential tokens issued by the wallet starting with T5j2UBTvLY that was leaked from pump.science. We also hope that the platform and token deployers can enhance security measures to prevent such scams from happening again.
