Now I am confused, Optimism token that looks like a good one to hold for long term has been hacked and this caused a 20 million dollars tokens stolen, the more I plan to grab some.new projects the scary it keeps getting, I mean what's all these for a new project like Optimism .
I was planning to purchased this token when it was first announced because of its good Ethereum solution function yet the team mistakenly sent the OP to the wrong address is very sketchy IMHO. The article provided above shows how the team commit mistake and the hacker just received it. There still chance for this to recover by doing hard fork and block all the deposit of OP tokens on all exchange by the time the mistake done. OP team only shows how incompetent they are for allowing this terrible loss.
Well, you just suggested what could have been done to prevent the total loss of the tokens considering that this was an honest mistake which I want to believe that the Devs would have known to do to prevent all the drama but why didn't they do it

With stuff like this happening, it is becoming more and more difficult to trust and invest in most of these new projects.
