Summary

Normie (NORMIE) was a memecoin launched in March 2024 on Coinbase's Base layer-2 blockchain that reached a peak market cap of approximately $130 million on April 2, 2024. On May 26, 2024, an attacker exploited a premarket-user recognition flaw in the token's smart contract via a flash loan attack, minting billions of tokens beyond the 1 billion supply cap and draining liquidity pools, causing a 99% price collapse and approximately $41 million in market cap destruction. A blockchain scam-detection tool reported the vulnerability had been detected in March 2024 but was never patched by the development team.
