DeFi-протокол Hypervault исчез с $3,6 млн в активах, подозреваемых в экзит-скаме English Translation: Headline: DeFi protocol Hypervault vanishes with $3.6 million in assets suspected of exit scam

PeckShield has detected suspicious withdrawals amounting to approximately $3.6 million from the decentralized finance platform Hypervault.

The assets were transferred from Hyperliquid to the Ethereum network via a cross-chain bridge. They were subsequently exchanged for Ether, with 752 ETH, valued at around $3 million, being directed to Tornado Cash—a typical scenario in cases of rug pulls.

A rug pull occurs when a project’s team siphons off liquidity or user deposits and disappears, often following aggressive promotions of high returns and/or in the absence of a thorough audit.

The Hypervault website and platform documentation promoted «management-free» autocompounding, yield farming bots, as well as «adapters» for redirecting assets into lending protocols, cyclical strategies, and concentrated liquidity pools on HyperEVM.

In this way, user deposits were allocated across external services to implement comprehensive income-generating strategies.

Currently, the project’s account on X has been deleted, and the official website is unavailable. These circumstances heighten suspicions of an exit scam.

It is worth noting that the crypto community had previously suspected the «scam-resistant» platform RugProof of fraudulent activities.
