Summary
Unibot is a Telegram-based trading bot launched in May 2023 that enabled users to execute Uniswap trades directly within Telegram. On October 31, 2023, a newly deployed router contract containing a call injection vulnerability was exploited, draining approximately $560,000–$640,000 in user funds that were subsequently laundered through Tornado Cash; the team ultimately reimbursed affected users at a reported cost of $1.78 million. A second crisis followed in March 2024 when the Ethereum and Solana development teams publicly split amid mutual accusations of unauthorized deployments and revenue misappropriation, causing the token to shed an additional 40% of its value and reducing the project to a fraction of its former user base.
