We recently saw how a person made the most expensive transaction on Ethereum. A transfer of about $130 worth of ether paying $2,6 million in fees. The community thinks it's a mistake, but today, that idea has completely changed. The most expensive transaction on Ethereum has an equally expensive sister and the same creator.
Today we talked about how an unknown user had broken all records by performing the most expensive transaction on Ethereum. A transaction of $130 USD in Ether (0,5 ETH) with a commission payment of $2,6 million (10.668,7 ETH). Certainly a very strange transaction and at first glance it seems to be a painful and costly mistake when carrying out such an operation, which You can see it here on EtherscanThat happened just over 24 hours ago.
However, today the unthinkable has happened. Ethereum's most expensive transaction now has a sister, one that's just as expensive and to top it off, has the same creator. As you have read, the unknown user has generated a new transaction for a total of 86 thousand dollars (350 ETH) and a commission of 2,6 million dollars. This already tells us that more than an error, we are facing a catastrophe, or at least, it is not just any error. And much less, with such a short time difference between both transactions, and this last transaction was made less than 13 hours ago.

Pair of unique transactions have the Ethereum community in stitches
La New transaction can be seen from Etherscan, and from there we can know that it has been mined by Ethermine, a well-known Ethereum mining pool. The mining pool's Twitter account quickly released the information about this striking transaction, with the following tweet.
Since then, the community has reacted quickly by creating different theories. Among them, that it is a money laundering bot that has had an error. Another theory points to a possible hack that exploits a vulnerability in an exchange's hot wallet. This last theory has enormous weight, due to the large number of input and output transactions that the source address of these very expensive transactions presents. In fact, at this moment, This address has more than 7500 transactions.
Without a doubt, we are facing one of the most striking events in the Ethereum ecosystem. That a transaction with such a high commission value is carried out is already something that draws attention. But what if it happens a second time in a matter of hours? This is much more unusual and striking. Could it be money laundering? Very unlikely, both transactions were mined by two different pools, which somewhat destroys that theory. But one thing is clear: whoever amasses all this amount of money has a serious problem.
