The harder they fall

Tellor initially gained traction a few weeks prior, on Oct. 24, when it surged over 150% in price, solidifying its position as a top gainer among various altcoins. 

This growth continued into November, with a report on the 3rd showing another 10.15% uptick, securing it as the second-highest performer on CoinMarketCap for that day, later leading to a hack warning from Peck Shield.
