Incident Details

Redemption provides the liquidity pools for 2omb, a Fantom-based algorithmic stablecoin project with big promises: “What if you could invest in a golden goose? Something you can acquire that will actually print you more money to either invest or use?“Starting on April 18, the projects were targeted with a series of flash loan attacks. The project faced a total of 267 flash loan attacks within one day, leading to major volatility in the ostensibly stable coin. In an impressive display of optimism, a project team member wrote, “This has caused a large price pump. (Also benefited with 3% more burned tokens in fees.) The outcome and intent of the person who has done this, is unknown and it may work in our favour, Do not panic, and do not buy or sell until stable.” The attacker made a profit of around $190,000 from the attacks.

Total loss estimated at $189,625.
