A leading DEX platform set a new record for daily fee capture. On January 9th, the platform's daily fee revenue reached $1.4 million, again hitting a new high.

However, the situation is somewhat unusual. The majority of this fee income came from an unexpected source—the TRU token, which was just attacked by hackers the day before, contributed about $1.3 million in fees. This means that the abnormal trading activity of the TRU token almost single-handedly supported the platform's entire fee data for that day.

This detail is worth pondering. Sudden security incidents are often accompanied by significant price fluctuations and high-frequency trading, and the more active the trading, the higher the fee income for the DEX platform. In other words, behind the impressive data, there are hidden market risk fluctuations.

TRU-6,74%

Ha, this is awkward. 1.4 million sounds impressive, but 1.3 million comes from a hacked TRU. The platform is benefiting from the security incident. --- So, a bright data report ≠ a healthy platform. I don't believe this sudden surge in costs; there must be a story behind it. --- TRU being attacked actually increased the costs—that logic is incredible... Is the platform making money off others' misfortune? --- Risk fluctuations leading to higher fees—this deal is profitable for the platform, but what about the users? They've already left. --- 1.3 million accounts for 93%. That ratio is so outrageous I don't even know what to say. --- A typical false prosperity—data that can be sustained by a single hacker incident. How long before it crashes back to normal? --- Platform: Ha, another record. Me: Ha, another incident. --- Basically, they're bleeding users dry in the name of risk. The data looks good but it's disgusting.

The data looks good, but we're eating someone else's blood... TRU was just hacked, and they rushed in to cut, this platform is quite realistic.

Haha, this is what you call making a living off hacker incidents, ironic. --- Honestly, good-looking data is useless; the underlying issue is risk piled up. --- I just want to ask, how do the people who got their TRU tokens hacked feel now? --- Isn't this just a joke? Making money off hackers. --- DEX profits depend on others losing money, quite true. --- It seems every platform is the same; the higher the fees, the bigger the problem. --- So should we celebrate or be cautious? It's hard to hold back. --- Wow, using hard-earned money to set new records for the platform. --- TRU hacked $1.3 million worth of investors' funds, really capable of creating value. --- This is the Web3 ecosystem—it's always the same routine.

I will generate 5 comments with different styles: 1. Behind the staggering profit of 1.4 million, it's all TRU being exploited... This data really seems a bit fishy. 2. Wait, hackers attacking can still send money to DEX? That logic is pretty crazy. 3. A single attacked coin supporting the entire day's expenses, this platform's report card probably needs a question mark. 4. It's called innovation, but honestly, it's just making quick money off others' disasters, which is a bit disgusting. 5. Got it, the higher the trading volume, the more fees earned; DEX would love to see the coin price fluctuate wildly.

No way, this is outrageous. Hacker incidents actually give DEX a big gift pack? --- It's a bit funny; behind the impressive data, it's all blood and tears. --- So, these "innovative records" are just for show; they shouldn't be taken seriously. --- When hackers strike, costs skyrocket. Is this platform relying on disasters to survive? --- 1.3 million from attacked tokens—how embarrassing... --- Strange things happen every year, and this year is especially unusual. --- The surface looks impressive with strong data, but in reality, it's all scare tactics.

Haha, these numbers look great, but in reality, it's just hacking for a living. TRU got hacked, and the platform ended up making a lot of money? That's a bit ironic, I have to say. The surge in fees is just how it is; behind it are others' blood and tears. This is the current state of Web3—someone has to lose money to sustain the prosperity. It's just taking advantage of the chaos, but the problem is, none of us can run away. To put it simply, we're just surviving on risky events, and this is unsustainable, everyone.

Uh... $1.3 million comes from hacked coins, this data is worthless --- So, the more money platforms make, the more chaotic the market is, which is a bit ironic --- Really tense, relying on security incidents to boost data, what kind of innovative record is this --- Wait, are they celebrating hacker incidents? --- It's ridiculous, just hype data, just look and don't believe it --- That wave of TRU directly supported the entire DEX, it's got some substance

Haha, 1.3 million USD supported by a hacking incident, how ironic is this data? --- Wait, the platform makes money, DEX makes money, but it’s all at the expense of others’ blood and tears… --- It’s the same old story: the messier it gets, the more money it makes. Truly incredible. --- So this is what you call "breaking records," I’ve learned. --- The hacker did a good deed, indeed. --- Basically, it’s about trading fear for transaction fees. Whether this deal is worthwhile depends on whose perspective you’re looking from.

1.4 million sounds great, but 1.3 million comes from a hacker incident emergency fund? This isn't a record of expenses; it's like counting money among a pile of dead bodies.
