DCENT App Wallet Flags Abnormal Asset Transfers, Urges Users to Move Funds

DCENT Wallet said it is urgently investigating abnormal asset transfers involving its DCENT App Wallet, with preliminary findings indicating the issue is confined to that app wallet. Users holding assets there, and those reusing the same seed phrase across DCENT App Wallet and a hardware wallet, are advised to move funds immediately to a secure hardware wallet or another trusted address. The team warned against sending funds to addresses shared via private messages or unofficial channels and said it will update on the cause and scope.

The scope note — that the issue is confined to the app wallet — is the key detail, since it implies the hardware wallet product line is not implicated. The seed-phrase reuse warning is the more consequential part: any user who imported a hardware wallet seed into the app has effectively exposed that hardware wallet, so the blast radius may extend beyond the app itself. Whether the transfers stem from a contract or key-generation flaw, and how far the seed-reuse exposure reaches, is the open question.
