How scoring works →Summary
Shivolink (SLINK) is a memecoin deployed on Robinhood Chain that surged past an $80 million market cap on or around September 4-5, 2026, after attackers compromised the X account of Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis and used it to promote the token. Elon Musk's ambiguous emoji reply to a post from the compromised account was widely interpreted as an endorsement, triggering a wave of retail buying; the token subsequently collapsed more than 95% as insider wallets, believed connected to the attacker, extracted an estimated $4.7 million in profits at over 1,200x returns. No arrests or law enforcement actions related to the incident have been publicly reported as of September 2026.
