In July 2023, the cross-chain router protocol Multichain was hacked. This resulted in the loss of $126 million worth of cryptocurrency on its Fantom [FTM] bridge, which had a significant impact on the network’s performance in Q3. On-chain data provider Messari, in a new report, found that due to the hack, Fantom witnessed a series of declines in some of its ecosystem metrics. Firstly, its native token FTM experienced a large selloff in mid-August. This resulted in a 15% decline in the altcoin’s value between 16 and 18 August and a 35% fall in its circulating market capitalization during the quarter under review.
