Restoring repayments and collateral top-ups was our first operational priority so borrowers could protect their positions while the broader protocol remains under supervision. This incident has made it strikingly clear to us how quickly the security environment is changing. Onchain code is effectively open source, while AI-assisted analysis and array of new offensive tools are rapidly lowering the cost and knowledge barrier to discovering complex attack paths. We’re currently working with our security partners to expand safeguards across both the program and API, putting all changes through additional security reviews. We understand the seriousness of this and know trust is hard earned and easily lost. We will start through our response and next steps ensuring the app is re-opened safely and continue communicating as functionality is restored.
Update: Priority loan functionality has now been restored across the platform. • Collateral-top ups are available for all loans • Repayments are available for all loans except those funded by the USDC Genesis Vault • Borrowers who fully repay loans can withdraw their collateral. Collateral withdrawals remain temporarily disabled for loans funded by the USDC Genesis Vault. Vault withdrawals and all other protocol functionality remain restricted out of an abundance of caution. Our team and partners are working to ensure a safe restoration of full functionality as quickly as possible. We have identified and contained the two paths used during this incident. Both paths involved sophisticated, multi-step transactions targeting publicly inspectable program logic and private transaction-building APIs. The attacker first targeted the SOL Genesis Vault using a misconfigured combination of asset-pricing parameters that caused deposited collateral to be valued as a different asset, enabling an undercollateralized loan of approximately $412K. They later used an atomic transaction bundle to sell a loan carrying an extreme interest rate into the USDC Genesis Vault, inflating its NAV and enabling a disproportionate redemption of approximately $521K which our systems halted within 30 seconds of transaction generation. No user deposits will incur a loss. We will share further updates from this account as our investigation progresses and additional functionality is safely restored.

a lot of people will be sidelinded bc the cyclical crypto drawdown everyone was waiting for was much less than anticipated and most ppl cant endure chop. we might chop for another 6-12 months but atp its pretty safe to say any spot entry is good value.

very soon the only way to get grails will be onchain.
FUN FACT: Over $60 million in tokenized collectibles now live on Solana via @Collector_Crypt, a new record high. From Pokémon and One Piece to sports cards and watches, physical collectibles are becoming a growing pillar of the onchain economy. Collectibles on Solana >
