Cardano Successfully Defends Against DDoS Attack

Recently, the Cardano network faced a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, a malicious attempt to disrupt its operations. Despite the attack, the blockchain’s robust mechanisms effectively countered the threat, maintaining stability and functionality.

Cardano’s Resilience During DDoS Attack

The attack, led by @ElRaulito_cnft, began on block 10,487,530 with each transaction executing 194 smart contracts of the type REWARD, spending 0.9 ADA per transaction. The intent was to overload the network with these complex transactions to slow it down. Philip Disarro, from Anastasia, played a vital role in thwarting the attack, prompting the attacker to cease.

The Cardano community, led by influencers like Big Pey and Jason Matias, closely monitored the situation. Despite the attempt to disrupt the network, the community remained confident in Cardano’s resilience and security measures.

Cardano’s use of the eUTxO model was crucial in mitigating the impact of the attack. This unique model ensures the independent processing of each transaction output, enhancing scalability and security. It prevents malicious activity in one transaction from affecting others, ensuring high throughput and reliability.

Post-attack, the ADA price remained unaffected, showing a 5% increase in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.39.
