Within hours of launch, an attacker exploited a misconfigured LayerZero cross-chain peer to mint 5 billion unauthorized GAIN tokens and dump approximately $3 million worth into the market, crashing the token 87-90% and erasing roughly $36 million in market capitalization. The team subsequently enacted a token migration, a $2.5 million recovery fund, and a re-launch on October 6, 2025, though GAIN continues to trade approximately 95% below its all-time high.","timeline":[{"date":"2025-09-24","event":"Griffin AI lists GAIN token on Binance Alpha, KuCoin, MEXC, HTX, and Gate.io.
