Summary

EasyFi Network was a Polygon-based DeFi lending protocol that suffered one of the largest private-key compromise incidents in early DeFi history. On April 19, 2021, an attacker remotely compromised founder Ankitt Gaur's machine and extracted MetaMask admin keys, stealing approximately $6 million in stablecoins and 2.98 million EASY tokens (face value ~$75–80 million, liquid value ~$6 million). Following a hard fork to a new EZ token and a partial compensation plan, the protocol never recovered meaningful adoption; the EZ token as of 2025 trades at near-zero value.
