The LRT-backed stablecoin protocol has been paused because the staff investigates.
Prisma Finance, a DeFi protocol that points stablecoins backed by Ethereum liquid staking and restaking tokens (LRTs), has been exploited for practically $12 million.
First flagged by blockchain safety agency Cyvers, attackers managed to make off with 3,258 ETH earlier than the protocol was paused by the staff. Prisma customers are suggested to revoke approvals for the affected sensible contracts.
The stolen property have since been redistributed to 3 Ethereum addresses, in response to an evaluation from safety agency Peckshield.
The protocol’s PRISMA token crashed 30% after the exploit however has since recovered some losses. It at the moment trades at a $9 million market capitalization. Practically $110 million was withdrawn from the protocol within the wake of the exploit, leaving it with $127 million in whole worth locked (TVL).
Prisma points two dollar-pegged stablecoins, mkUSD and ULTRA, which may be minted in opposition to Ethereum liquid staking tokens (LSTs) and restaking tokens (LRTs), respectively. Its flagship mkUSD has a market capitalization of $35 million, whereas the newer ULTRA stands at simply over $2 million.
Prisma’s design relies on that of LUSD issuer Liquity, which confirmed on X that it isn’t inclined to the identical sort of exploit.
