Issues ⚠️
Yearn Finance V1 confirmed an exploit affecting an immutable iEarn TUSD contract deployed over 2,100 days ago, resulting in losses of roughly $300,000, as first flagged by PeckShield. The incident is limited to the legacy iEarn contract and does not impact current Yearn vaults or active protocol contracts.
Yearn noted the issue is similar in nature to the 2023 iEarn USDT exploit, with the attacker converting the funds into 103 ETH.
Ribbon Finance, now partially rebranded as Aevo, suffered a $2.7 million exploit after attackers manipulated oracle pricing in legacy Ribbon vault smart contracts, draining only the actively deployed vault funds. The team initially communicated an incorrect recovery framework, later issuing a correction after confirming that queued withdrawals and paused funds were not affected by the exploit.
Users who had queued withdrawals before the incident can withdraw 100% of their funds, while roughly $350,000 in paused funds will be fully recoverable following a contract upgrade.
Users with funds actively deployed at the time of the exploit incurred a total loss, with the DAO stating it has notified authorities and exchanges and will assess remediation paths through governance.
Upcoming ⏳
The Hyper Foundation launched a validator vote to formally treat all HYPE held in the Assistance Fund as burned, removing roughly 37 million tokens, about 13% of the circulating supply, from total counts. The tokens are already held at an irretrievable system address.
An Aave governance proposal calls for AAVE token holders to regain formal ownership and control of Aave’s brand assets, including domains, social channels, and naming rights. The proposal argues that third-party control of these assets creates misalignment and governance risk, particularly where branding enables private monetization outside DAO oversight. It seeks to transfer ownership to a DAO-controlled legal vehicle with anti-capture protections, leaving implementation details to later stages.
Ondo Finance said its tokenized stocks and ETFs platform is planned to launch on Solana in early 2026, bringing traditional market exposure onto Solana’s on-chain infrastructure.
PancakeSwap announced support for the incubation of Probable, an on-chain prediction market built on BNB Chain, alongside YZi Labs. Probable is positioned as a zero-fee prediction market and is being developed as a native on-chain alternative for event-based trading.
