The on-chain activity in 2022 is far crazier than ever before. We have seen a single liquidation of over $60 million and a single transfer of over $5.3 billion. Conor Grogan, head of strategy at Coinbase, counted the six "biggest" on-chain events in 2022. BlockBeats compiled and compiled them as follows:
1. The largest amount of DeFi liquidation
On June 18, a multi-signature address starting with 0x2291 was liquidated for approximately US$61 million on Liquity. The robot that liquidated the position received 359 ETH through this liquidation alone. This liquidation amount was 69% higher than the maximum liquidation amount in 2021.
2. The largest hacking incident
On March 23, Ronin Bridge was hacked, and the attacker stole approximately $650 million (173,600 ETH and 25.5 million USDC) by controlling five of the nine validator node private keys (4 Sky Mavis and 1 Axie DAO).
3. Maximum amount of funds transferred
On May 6, Binance sent 5.31 billion BUSD from its cold wallet to its hot wallet, with a gas fee of approximately $3.
4. Maximum Gas Payment
On May 1, tanked.eth set his gas HIGH to 45,556 Gwei during the YugaLabs Metaverse project Otherside mint, which resulted in a staggering total of 16ETH (about $45,200) in gas fees paid to mint 2 Otherside NFTs.
10 days later tanked.eth sold them for 3.5 wETH and 8.59 ETH...
5. The most expensive NFT sale
On February 9, crypto artist Pak launched the dynamic NFT work "Clock" to raise funds for Assange's legal defense. It was eventually successfully auctioned by AssangeDAO with a bid of 16,593 ETH (approximately US$53 million), which was all the funds raised by the organization after deducting the crowdfunding platform's handling fees.
6. Maximum amount of MEV captured
On August 1, the address starting with 0xB8Ef made a profit of $3,319,854.98 in a transaction, paying only $2,090.18 to miners. This was a successful arbitrage between Uniswap V2 and V3 pools and the largest MEV captured by flashbots.
