ZachXBT also speculated that the cause could be due to a leaked private key, with an address having withdrawn assets totaling up to $8 million USD.

Earlier in June, a Bittensor user also lost $11.2 million USD worth of TAO tokens under unclear circumstances.

Data from Bittensor’s block explorer also indicates that the network has been disrupted since around 23:20 on July 2, 2024 (UTC).
