According to ZenGo researcher, an individual tried “yield farming” on an allegedly fake DeFi project and lost a lot of cash. An Ethereum user has lost $140,000 worth of UNI, the governance token of decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Uniswap, to yield farming project UniCats, according to Alex Manuskin, researcher at crypto wallet ZenGo.
Over the past weekend, the anonymous user, named “Jhon Doe” for privacy reasons (and deliberately misspelled for unknown reasons), stumbled upon a new yield farming scheme called UniCats and decided to transfer some UNI tokens to its liquidity pool.
