Uwerx is a nascent project intending to build a blockchain-based freelancer marketplace, because what better concepts to combine than blockchains and the gig economy? Sadly for them, just after completing their token presale, it was hit with a flash loan exploit that enabled an attacker to siphon 176 ETH (~$324,000) from the platform.
The project was audited by SolidProof and InterFi. The project announced that they intended to relaunch the token, and asked the exploiter to consider returning 80% of the funds, keeping 20% as a “bug bounty”.
