Sui DeFi Exchange Cetus Back in Action After $233 Million Exploit

Cetus Protocol, a leading decentralized exchange on Sui Blockchain, officially returns to the net after the abusive Oracle attack brought to Use $ 233 million in May.

Exploit, which sent multiple tokens based on SUI that descend 70-90%, manipulated the prices and calculations of the reserve, allowing the attacker to remove the liquidity from the Pool on the DeX.

“The attacker used the vulnerability in the open code library dependent on CLMM, exhausted property from our main pools and spent a large number of replacements on the chain, seriously disturbing the prices and balance of the pool,” the UA platform wrote Saturday’s blog post.

“From the incident, we took decisive steps to ensure the safety of the protocol, recovered property and prepare for safe restart,” the post said.

These steps included the download of about $ 162 million funding frozen from attacks through a Community management votingReceiving a $ 30 million bridge from the Sui Foundation, Vulnerability Patch and Developing a Compensation Plan for Solving User Losses.

Using a guy for the SUI Foundation Bridge, 100% of the company reserves and recovered assets from exploitation, the company has now returned all affected liquidity basins to a healthy state, earning a recovery of liquidity recovery between 85-99% for the appropriate bases.

“Although the incident like this disappointing, the superior response in the industry as he acted was incredibly positive,” said Sui Foundation Director Christian Thompson Decipher. “We are especially proud of the speed and reaction of the collective actions taken by the SUI community.”

“The validators independently selected quarantine transactions from the attacker’s addresses based on public information, and then with the help of SUI Foundation to call for vote, Validators decided to return those funds to Cetus,” he added.

Full 100% recovery is not possible because of the “asset limit,” the protocol said, so he established a compensation plan for the affected parties that will allocate Cetus tokens as a result of losses from the liquidity base.

“We highlight 15% of the Cetus supply contract for fees,” the protocol wrote. “By taking these actions, we hope that this redistribution of tokens will turn Cetus into an ecosystem that is led in the community that goes forward, which is a positive outcome from an incredibly challenging time for all of us.”

Customers who meet the conditions can connect their wallets on the Cetus protocol compensation card to request their Cetus tokens starting on Tuesday. The compensation plan immediately unlocks 5% of the Cetus token, with an additional 10% linearly for a 12 -month period.

All extraordinary funds drawn from HAK moving forward will be offered to users instead of Cetus token. The protocol, which works with the implementation of the law in multiple jurisdictions, remains convinced that arrest and recovery is “only a matter of time”.

“We renew ourselves more safety, more resistant and more dedicated than ever before providing a safe, powerful and user infrastructure for defining for the SUI ecosystem,” Protocol wrote.

The response to the Sui Foundation’s attack faced some return problems due to centralization problems, but Thompson said he believed he was unfounded.

“The minority of critics who called the Hak’s immediate response to ‘centralized’ or misunderstood the facts about what happened or basically misunderstood what decentralization means,” Thompson said said Decipheses.

“True decentralization is not paralysis – this is a coordination among independent parties that can act decisively when it is important,” he continued. “And most of the industry gets it and it was incredibly positive and according to the foundation and answers of our community.”

Suie’s native Token increased in the last 24 hours at $ 3.44, but on the day of exploitation fell with about $ 4.15. It remains almost 36%, from January, a maximum of $ 5.35.

Native Cetus Cetus Cetus Cetus Protocol has been reduced by more than 75% compared to the maximum in November all the time of $ 0.48, and Monday trades about $ 0.12, which is a drop of 30% from the date of exploitation.
