On November 25th, based on the data on the official website, the $500 million deposit limit of USDM on MegaETH has been completely depleted.

On November 25th, according to official information, MegaETH has declared an elevation of the USDm ceiling to 1 billion US dollars. The bridge is set to open at 0:00 Beijing time the following day. Nevertheless, it seems that the quota has been preemptively occupied. The team originally intended to increase the quota by pre-signing transactions and carrying out the increase at a designated time to guarantee the timely commencement of the event. However, the team failed to realize that a signed transaction could be broadcasted by anyone. It appears that the crypto whale @chud_eth took advantage of this vulnerability and prematurely executed the quota increase, completing the distribution of USDm ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, the total quota has been adjusted to 5 billion US dollars, with more than 4.83 billion US dollars already allocated.
