Incident Details
Users of the cross-chain swapping API LI.FI Protocol, and of projects that build on top of it, suffered wallet drains amounting to at least $10 million (and counting). An attacker was able to exploit the users who had set infinite approvals. The protocol urged those who had interacted with several affected smart contracts to revoke permission, and warned: “Please do not interact with any LI.FI powered applications for now!”
Total loss estimated at $10,000,000.
