Yüksek profilli güvenlik olayları, 2022'de bir tema olmaya devam ediyor ve Acala ağı, istismarlara av olmak için uzun bir risk altındaki platformlar listesine katılıyor.

Polkadot ve Kusama blok zincirleri için yerel bir stabilcoin görevi gören Acala USD (aUSD) tokeni, yanlış bir yapılandırmadan sonra değer %99 düştü of the iBTC/aUSD liquidity pool was exploited after its launch on Sunday. Initial estimates from Acala noted that 1.2 billion aUSD was minted without the necessary collateral, seeing the token’s value depeg from its 1:1 peg with the U.S. dollar to a bottom of $0.01.

Resim

Acala put its network in maintenance mode to freeze funds and eventually managed to recoup a significant portion of the uncollateralized tokens. The Acala community proposed and voted on a referandum to identify and destroy the erroneously minted tokens to return its dollar peg to parity at $1.

1,288,561,129 aUSD minted on 16 different accounts was returned to the network’s Honzon protocol to be burned. Another 4,299,119 erroneously minted aUSD remaining in the iBTC/aUSD reward pool was also destroyed.

While the cryptocurrency community considers whether the Acala Network took the right decision to essentially freeze its network, the stablecoin was able to be repegged in a short turnaround, with the community playing its role in the chosen path to undo the exploit.

Interlay, a service that allows users to wrap Bitcoin (BTC) to iBTC and then use it across decentralized finance platforms, was drawn into the situation, as the iBTC/aUSD pool was chiefly affected by the exploit. Cointelegraph reached out to Interlay to ascertain the details of the incident and lessons to be taken forward. Acala, on the other hand, refused to comment.

While investigations are still ongoing, the theory is that the misconfiguration in the iBTC/aUSD pool allowed an attacker to mint an erroneous amount of aUSD. This then led to fears that the attacker would buy iBTC with the illicit aUSD tokens and convert that to BTC — which would have nullified Acala’s ability to recoup the tokens and restore its peg.

Interlay co-founder Alexei Zamyatin told Cointelegraph that the attack did not compromise the protocol despite having direct exposure to the affected liquidity pools:

“Acala did use iBTC in the affected pools alongside other non-Interlay assets, but the incident has not jeopardized Interlay as a network in any way. All system operations have been and remain fully functional.”

The company’s incident trace rapor is being constantly updated to provide more information regarding the 16 addresses that received erroneously minted rewards.

According to the update, more than 3 billion aUSD was minted and claimed by the 17 flagged liquidity provider addresses. Following the Acala community referendum, some 1.29 billion was burned while another 1.6 billion aUSD minted in error remains on these 16 addresses on the Acala parachain.
