On September 21, 2021, an Avalanche-based decentralized finance (defi) platform Vee Finance announced that it suffered from an incident that siphoned 8,804 ether and 213 bitcoin out of the system.

Defi Project Vee Finance Suffers a Loss of $35 Million From Hack<\/h2>\n

The Avalanche (AVAX) blockchain has been a popular network in recent times and it has attracted a number of defi applications like Benqi.fi, Trader Joe, Lydia Finance, Shroom Finance, and Osiris. The Vee Finance platform is another defi platform that has gathered a number of users and coins which added to the platform\u2019s total value locked (TVL).<\/p>\n

However, on September 21, the team explained that the project was \u201cattacked\u201d and updated the Vee Finance community via Twitter and an incident report<\/a>. \u201cVee.Finance Incident Announcement,\u201d the tweet<\/a> details. \u201cThe Vee Finance team has suspended the platform contracts to ensure the safety of more users\u2019 assets, and has suspended the deposit and borrow function. The Stablecoin section is not affected by the attack,\u201d the disclosure further noted.<\/p>\n

Vee Finance Project Insists Stablecoins Are Safe<\/h2>\n

In the incident report, the Vee Finance team disclosed that \u201c8,804.7 ETH<\/a> and 213.93 BTC<\/a> were attacked.\u201d At the time of writing, the loss equates to around $35.49 million using current bitcoin and ether exchange rates. \u201cAfter investigation, the suspected attacker has launched the attack through the above address (etherscan address<\/a>) and has collected the stolen assets in this address,\u201d the Vee Finance team said. The defi project operators further insisted:<\/p>\n

The Stablecoin section is not affected by the attack. Currently, according to address monitoring, the attacker has not yet transferred or processed the stolen assets further. The Vee team is actively working to further clarify the incident and will continue to try to contact the attacker to recover the assets.<\/p>\n

The Vee Finance network attack follows an attack against the Pnetwork protocol<\/a> on September 20, that saw the loss of 277 bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) via the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The Avalanche network saw its first major defi attack<\/a> six days ago when Zabu Finance lost $3.2 million in a hack. The Zabu Finance hacker exploited the platform\u2019s Spore Token protocol and minted 4.5 billion zabu and withdrew the coins to a secret wallet.<\/p>\n
