Messari, a research company based in New York, published a report stating that Stellar (XLM) platform was affected by a software failure. This downturn was reported to have pushed the 2.25 billion extra XLM token (about $ 10 million at the time).
Messari's report published on March 27, 2019:
[Stellar] experienced an important but slightly reported inflation error in April 2017.
The Messari management report, explaining how they discovered the XLM error, said its researchers were examining the "supply details" of the top 50 crypto currencies. While researching, Messari's team said in 2017 that a computer hacker in the code base of Stellar made a 201 error of synchronicity Araştırma.
Explanations on XLM Inflation Errors
In particular, the software error was in the function mas MergeOPFrame :: doApply “which caused the creation of 2.25 billion XLM of the Stellar protocol. As stated in Messari's report, this inflation accounts for almost 25% of the circulation of the XLM in April 2017. However, researchers at the crypto intelligence company claim that "the public statements on the incident in the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) are relatively quiet."
Moreover, Messari's researchers stated that media outlets did not report the incident and that the SDF did not realize that ğ it burned an equivalent amount of XLM from the community reserve Ayrıca to balance inflation.
Ir Affected addresses lar and other related information are not available in any standard block navigator or Stellar Expert, a block explorer and analytics platform for the Stellar network. This is also based on a research report stating that Mess the Horizon client is able to track past transactions through the customer transaction history e, according to Messari.
Messari: Extra XLM Tokens for Sale at H1 2017 Market
Although it cannot verify exactly where the 2.25 billion XLM tokens are going, Messari's research team believes that a large number of crypto currencies are likely to be sold olarak over the first half of 2017 and are sold on the market.
In response to Messari's claims and reports, SDF representatives told the US-based crypto research company in April 2017 that kr Stellar is an open-source project with a small but exclusive developer community. Therefore, it did not make sense to announce the error in our release notes le
Stellar's team also said:
In fact, we mentioned two times in the [project description] notes and it was very clear that the insect was exploited. From there, we took an additional step to may validate toplam the supply of lumens, so that the current $ XLM owners would not be diluted and our estimated total supply would remain accurate. We know that Stellar has since become important financial software. and our disclosure standards grew to reflect this fact.
SDF added:
Since then, there has been no notable mistake, and if we did, we would have fully explained it at the time of the patch. As we explained in our 2019 Roadmap last month, we were committed to a complete calculation of the Lumens of all SDFs by the end of the year, and more details around this old bug would have been (and still will be) part of it.
