</ul>  
<p>Equalizer, the decentralized exchange (DEX), recently completed its migration to the Sonic platform, marking a pivotal moment for the project. In a post on <a href="https://x.com/Equalizer0x/status/1868467779202068593" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">X</a> (formerly Twitter), the Equalizer team shared key details about the migration. This transition involved removing the EQUAL/FTM liquidity and separating $EQUAL on Fantom and Sonic.&nbsp;</p>  
<p>The launch liquidity pool (LP) on Sonic will consist of 106,542 $EQUAL and 840,511 $WS, pegging $EQUAL to 7.89 $S on Sonic. As a reward for early supporters, the team will airdrop $30,000 in $EQUAL, based on the <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/equalizer-dex/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">current price</a>.</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-stats-from-equalizer-s-migration">Key Stats from Equalizer's Migration</h2>  
<p>The migration statistics further highlight the strength and engagement of Equalizer's community. An impressive 97% of veEQUAL, 70% of $EQUAL, and 72% of EQUAL/FTM LP tokens have been successfully migrated. Additionally, the team announced that migrated veEQUAL tokens will be stored in the treasury, without voting rights, for the next six months before being burned.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/analyzing-fantoms-cup-and-handle-setup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$EQUAL tokens removed from the Fantom network</a> will also be burned, and new $EQUAL/WS LP tokens will be airdropped to liquidity providers. These efforts demonstrate Equalizer's commitment to ensuring the success of its migration to Sonic and preparing for a public release in the near future.</p>  
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-security-breach-shakes-the-equalizer-community">A Security Breach Shakes the Equalizer Community</h2>  
<p>However, the launch of Sonic comes at a challenging time for the Equalizer project. In May, a hacker began draining user funds through the Equalizer DEX. The breach started with the theft of 2,500 SpookySwap liquidity tokens (spLP) and quickly escalated.&nbsp;</p>  
<p>Over time,<a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/college-student-in-china-jailed-for-virtual-currency-fraud/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> the hacker drained various tokens</a>, including 2,353 EQUAL, 510,579 FantomStarter (FS), and 6 million AnyInu (AI) tokens. The hacker continued the attack over multiple transactions, exploiting the vulnerability for weeks.</p>  
<p>To make matters worse, a scammer took advantage of the situation by creating a fake Equalizer <a href="https://twitter.com/Equalizer0x/status/1790245836716388554%20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">X account</a> and offering refunds. This compounded the damage done to the community. The Equalizer team has since issued security recommendations to users. They advised anyone interacting with the platform to be vigilant, especially when prompted to approve unknown contracts.</p>
