Solana-based DeFi lending protocol, Loopscale, was hacked two weeks after its launch, resulting in a loss of over $5.8 million (12% of TVL) and the platform pausing most services.
Attackers exploited a vulnerability in Loopscale's lending markets, stealing 5.7 million USDC and 1,200 SOL tokens.
Loopscale temporarily paused lending but allowed limited functions, while an investigation is ongoing to determine the extent of the breach and recover funds.
Loopscale, launched on April 10, aims to improve capital efficiency in DeFi lending by directly connecting lenders and borrowers.
