AI summary iconSummary
Loopscale has restored lending features following a security breach, enabling users to add collateral to all loans. Repayments are available except for USDC Genesis Vault loans, which remain restricted. The team is actively working on security recovery. The attacker exploited two vulnerabilities: mispricing assets in the SOL Genesis Vault to obtain a $412,000 undercollateralized loan, and inflating the NAV of the USDC Genesis Vault through a high-interest trade in an attempt to execute a $521,000 redemption. The system blocked the second attempt within 30 seconds. User deposits remain unaffected. The incident underscores ongoing developments in real-world assets (RWA) within the DeFi space.

ChainCatcher report: According to Loopscale monitoring, the platform has restored its priority lending function, allowing all loans to accept additional collateral. Repayments are now permitted for all loans except those funded by the USDC Genesis Vault; borrowers may reclaim their collateral upon full repayment. The ability to withdraw collateral for loans tied to the USDC Genesis Vault remains temporarily disabled, and vault withdrawals and other protocol functions continue to be restricted. The team is working with partners to advance security recovery efforts. Loopscale states that it has identified and contained the two attack vectors exploited by the attacker. First, the attacker leveraged an incorrect asset pricing parameter configuration, causing collateral deposited into the SOL Genesis Vault to be misvalued as another asset, resulting in approximately $412,000 in undercollateralized loans. Subsequently, the attacker used an atomic transaction combination to sell a loan with an abnormally high interest rate to the USDC Genesis Vault, artificially inflating its net asset value (NAV) and extracting approximately $521,000 in redemption proceeds; this operation was intercepted by the system within 30 seconds of transaction generation. Loopscale confirms that user deposits will not suffer any losses as a result of this incident.
