Suppose a smart contract on a certain chain has a vulnerability, and an attacker can exploit this flaw to control 37% of the token supply, then concentrate on selling—what consequences might this bring? First, a sharp drop in the token price. When a large amount of selling pressure suddenly floods the market, liquidity is instantly overwhelmed, buyers retreat, and prices spiral out of control. Second, the complete collapse of ecosystem confidence. Once investors realize that the contract itself has such a flaw, trust in the project evaporates immediately, and no one is willing to take over later. Furthermore, such incidents often trigger chain reactions—exchanges may urgently delist the token, auditing firms' reputations are damaged, and the entire token economic model is thoroughly dismantled. This is why contract audits and multi-signature mechanisms are so critical. A 37% concentrated sell-off event is enough to destroy an entire project's ecosystem.

37%? Oh my God, this is basically a ticking time bomb... The projects that claimed to be "audited" before have definitely fallen into this trap many times. A single vulnerability can lead to game over, and the loss of confidence crashes faster than the price.

ngl this is literally what happened to my mining portfolio back in the day... except i had zero liquidity to dump lol. anyway, 37% flashdump would obliterate the TPS throughput completely, gas fees go absolutely bonkers during the panic selling. this is exactly why rollups matter fr

37% direct sell-off? That’s going to cause an explosion. It feels like some project is about to be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

That's why I say I don't touch those projects claiming to be "thousandfold coins." Jumping in without an audit is really asking for trouble.

37% in one shot, this is just the usual operation in crypto, nothing surprising anymore.

That's why I never touch projects without audits, it's too scary.
