Saving Compromised Tokens
It's possible to save airdrops and NFTs from compromised wallets via EIP-7702.
Sponsor: Mantle — The Mantle Global Hackathon, running 10/22 to 12/31, invites devs & founders to design, build, and deploy scalable RWA and DeFi products on Mantle.
Compromised wallets are dreadful. Even if your liquid funds get stolen this way, you can also get stuck with unclaimed airdrops, NFT allowlist spots, etc., in a wallet you can’t safely transact from.
Why? Once an attacker has your private key, they can deploy a sweeper bot that monitors that address across networks. The moment you send in any gas, the bot will pounce and drain it out. So even if you still technically “own” the wallet, it can feel nearly impossible to retrieve any remaining assets.
