While the broader <a href="https://coingape.com/trending/4-meme-coins-to-buy-before-may-ends/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meme coin sector</a> has witnessed strong gains this month, there was a major exploit in the meme coin NORMIE which led it to lose more than 99% of its value in a single day. Amid this flash loan exploit, the market cap of this meme coin plummeted all the way from $182M&nbsp;to&nbsp;$110k within minutes.&nbsp;

<h3 id="team-negotiates-with-the-hacker">Team Negotiates With the Hacker</h3> 
The team behind Base memecoin Normie (NORMIE) is negotiating with a hacker to recover 90% of the funds stolen due to a smart contract vulnerability, which led to a $41.7 million drop in the token’s market cap within three hours. 
Normie has reportedly agreed to the hacker’s offer to return 90% of the stolen NORMIE tokens. Despite the token’s price already falling 96% since the exploit, the agreement stipulates that Normie will use the returned funds and $2.3 million from the team’s development wallet to launch a new token to compensate NORMIE holders. Additionally, the hacker requested no reprisals in another on-chain message. 
The Normie team said: “We will have to re-launch, yes. That will come after we get our main twitter account back and after we get the funds from the exploiter”. 
The hacker reaffirmed their stringent conditions, insisting that a token relaunch must take place before returning the funds. 
Meme coin NORMIE came into existence earlier this year in March 2024. The creators of the blockchain scam detection tool Quick Intel assert that approximately 72,000 NORMIE holders were affected by the smart contract vulnerability, which was first identified in March.
