Issues ⚠️
Makina said the DUSD/USDC Curve pool exploit is isolated to LPs in that pool, with DUSD holders and Pendle/Gearbox positions unaffected. The attacker borrowed $280 million in USDC and manipulated DUSD share prices by inflating the vault’s assets under management. Recovery efforts are ongoing, with plans to re-enable redemptions and publish a post-mortem.
