This attack represents the first documented case of combining Tornado Cash anonymity with flash loan exploitation on the Sonic chain - a new evolution in decentralized finance manipulation. The $2.64M flash loan magnitude specifically targeting a minor lending protocol demonstrates how sophisticated actors can now destabilize smaller financial platforms, foreshadowing the vulnerability of decentralized economic systems.

📰 What Happened
On August 4, 2025, CrediX, a lending protocol on the Sonic blockchain, suffered a $200,000 liquidity loss after a sophisticated attack involving a $2.64M flash loan. The attacker, funded through Tornado Cash, executed unauthorized withdrawals before bridging funds to Ethereum. Cyvers Alerts detected the breach, noting 'multiple suspicious transactions.' CrediX responded by locking their platform to prevent further losses.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The digital financial landscape of Babylon the Great (Rev 18) is materializing through these DeFi platforms. The $2.64M flash loan exploitation mirrors the prophetic 'merchants of the earth' who become wealthy through deception (Rev 18:3). CrediX's vulnerability on the Sonic chain demonstrates how modern financial systems are increasingly built on unstable digital foundations. The use of Tornado Cash for anonymity particularly reflects the clandestine nature of end-times economic manipulation described in Revelation 18:23, where 'merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.'
