<p>Banana Gun, a crypto project, recently disclosed a critical flaw in its smart contract. Despite undergoing two audits, the team only discovered the bug after the project’s launch. The glitch enabled users to sell their assets while still holding tax tokens, causing a flash crash in the value of its native token, BANANA.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Following the revelation, the price of Banana Gun’s native token, BANANA, took a nosedive, as per DEXTools <a href="https://www.dextools.io/app/en/bnb/pair-explorer/0x6131b7f0758243355b50f50b4e7f9cb90d535833" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a>. After reaching a high of approximately $8.7, its worth plummeted to near insignificance. This drastic price shift led to a wave of speculation. Many in the crypto community labeled the incident a “<a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/recent-multichain-exploit-linked-to-internal-rug-pull-by-chainalysis/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">rug pull</a>,” casting doubts over the project’s legitimacy.</p> 
<p>However, the Banana Gun team was quick to respond. They <a href="https://x.com/BananaGunBot/status/1701364870615093289?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">outlined</a> a recovery strategy, starting with selling their Treasury wallet. The aim is to tap into the locked liquidity, which will find its way into a new contract. A subsequent relaunch is on the horizon, with an airdrop in the pipeline to compensate users.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-openai-s-chatgpt-enters-the-scene">OpenAI’s ChatGPT Enters the Scene</h2> 
<p>In an intriguing twist, a coder by the pseudonym ‘Mister Choc’ shed light on the contract’s vulnerability. He credited OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, for <a href="https://x.com/Mister_Ch0c/status/1701333300374073823?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pinpointing</a> the flaw in seconds. This revelation sparked a debate on the chatbot’s prowess. Matthew Zaborowski, Co-Founder of Proof of Play, weighed in on the matter. He acknowledged ChatGPT’s ability to scrutinize contracts for potential exploits but emphasized its supplementary role to seasoned developers and thorough audits.</p> 
<p>The Banana Gun team remains committed to rectifying the situation. They have assured stakeholders of a rigorous audit for the new contract. Only once all elements align perfectly will the project see another launch. In a gesture of goodwill, the team is also reviewing the Profit and Loss statements of all traders. Those who invested more in BANANA than they withdrew will receive full compensation in ETH.</p>
