GMGN Co-founder: The platform is experiencing intermittent traffic attacks affecting user experience, and plans to stop whitelisting some crawler IPs in the future
ChainCatcher news, GMGN co-founder Haze posted on platform X stating, "The platform has recently been experiencing intermittent traffic attacks aimed at taking our website down. However, we have managed to withstand them. We haven't issued announcements every time.Around 8 PM tonight, a sudden influx of traffic occurred, leading to a CAPTCHA on the website. The site didn't go down, but it affected user experience. GMGN has also provided a crawler IP whitelist for many community users (some of whom can perform data analysis, small products, and small businesses).Basically, it was issued with 0 conditions, and even if we mentioned a condition, we hardly reviewed it. Therefore, there are still many community users' crawlers on our website. In the future, to respond to traffic attack incidents and ensure user experience, we plan to strengthen traffic countermeasures. We also plan to start stopping some crawler IP whitelists."
