Objective

A related on-chain exchange is selling (absurdly overpriced) collectibles called “DVNFT”, now at 999 ETH each.

This price is fetched from an on-chain oracle, based on 3 trusted reporters: 0xA732...A105,0xe924...9D15 and 0x81A5...850c.

Starting with just 0.1 ETH in balance, pass the challenge by obtaining all ETH available in the exchange.

While poking around a web service of one of the most popular DeFi projects in the space, you get a somewhat strange response from their server. Here’s a snippet:

4d 48 68 6a 4e 6a 63 34 5a 57 59 78 59 57 45 30 4e 54 5a 6b 59 54 59 31 59 7a 5a 6d 59 7a 55 34 4e 6a 46 6b 4e 44 51 34 4f 54 4a 6a 5a 47 5a 68 59 7a 42 6a 4e 6d 4d 34 59 7a 49 31 4e 6a 42 69 5a 6a 42 6a 4f 57 5a 69 59 32 52 68 5a 54 4a 6d 4e 44 63 7a 4e 57 45 35

Solution

On the server response: convert the hex strings to UTF8:

MHhjNjc4ZWYxYWE0NTZkYTY1YzZmYzU4NjFkNDQ4OTJjZGZhYzBjNmM4YzI1NjBiZjBjOWZiY2RhZTJmNDczNWE5

Decode via base64:
