SIR.trading, an Ethereum-based decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, suffered a devastating exploit that led to a loss of its entire Total Value Locked (TVL) worth approximately $355,000.
The creator of the protocol, Xatarrer, offered a $100,000 bounty to the attacker as an incentive to return the stolen funds.
The exploit took advantage of vulnerabilities in Ethereum's transient storage, temporary data storage used during transaction execution.
This incident highlights the need for ongoing security research and vulnerability testing in the DeFi ecosystem.
