Incident Details
The Starknet-based lending platform zkLend was exploited for around $9.5 million. zkLend paused the protocol after the attack was discovered, and began working with various crypto security groups to try to trace the stolen funds and identify the thief. zkLend also sent a message to the attacker, offering a 10% “bounty” and a “release from any and all liability” if they returned 90% of the funds. As of twelve hours after the hack, no reply had been made.
Total loss estimated at $9,500,000.
