SEI Chain has caused some trouble again. According to monitoring data from BlockSec Phalcon, recently someone used the synnaxfi contract to perform a flash loan trick — borrowing about 1.96 million WSEI at once, equivalent to $240,000 USD. And what happened next? They had no intention of repaying at all.
This kind of operation is not uncommon on the blockchain, but each time it reveals underlying logical issues. Attackers launch attacks using zero-cost borrowing methods like flash loans, exploiting contract logic vulnerabilities or weak pricing mechanisms to make a quick profit and then run. For developers in the SEI ecosystem, this is a wake-up call — contract audits and risk prevention need to be taken more seriously.

SEI's ecosystem is really a bit disappointing. How many years has the lightning loan trick been around, and it's still being repeated?
Developers should wake up; it's not enough to just write code and call it a day.
$240,000 USD may not be a huge amount, but these incidents happening repeatedly definitely call for reflection.
Contract audits are truly indispensable; otherwise, you'll end up suffering losses sooner or later.
These attackers are really skilled—zero-cost borrowing and then fleeing. The risks are truly hard to guard against.
If SEI truly wants to grow big, it must take these kinds of vulnerabilities seriously.
Lightning loan vulnerabilities happen every year. Why can't developers learn to be smarter?
It's lightning loans again, and logical loopholes again. How long will it take for this routine to get old?

SEI, this trick has been played out. Is it really that hard to patch the flash loan vulnerability?

The issue of flash loan vulnerabilities really needs to be taken seriously, or how will the ecosystem develop?

SEI, this problem needs to be fixed. Daily flash loan incidents, developers need to be more cautious.

The玩法 of flash loans really needs to be regulated. Are SEI developers still sleepwalking?

SEI ecosystem has collapsed again? No, it's been exploited again. This flash loan vulnerability is really incredible; contract developers need to be more cautious.
