Binance Rebuilding Withdrawals After $6.3B Breach, Attacker Used EIP-7702

Binance is rebuilding its withdrawal service after a breach it estimates at $6.3 billion. The attacker used EIP-7702 to bypass wallet controls, Teng said, and also destroyed tools and traces during the intrusion.

AI take

The detail that matters here is the attack vector, not the dollar figure: EIP-7702 was designed to let ordinary accounts delegate execution to smart contracts, and its abuse to slip past wallet controls suggests a newer surface that wallet providers and exchanges have not fully hardened. The operational fallout — destroyed tooling and traces — will complicate attribution and forensic recovery as much as the loss itself. Whether EIP-7702-based delegation becomes a recurring pattern across other platforms is the open question worth watching.
