🚨 Starknet’s zkLend Hacked for $9M – Offers Hacker a 10% Bounty for Return
💰 zkLend, a DeFi lending protocol on Starknet, was exploited for over $9M. Now, it's offering the hacker 10% as a ‘white hat’ bounty if they return the remaining 3,300
$ETH ($8.4M).
🔹 What Happened?
- The hacker drained funds using an unknown exploit, prompting zkLend to suspend withdrawals.
- The team sent an on-chain message, stating they won’t take legal action if the attacker complies.
- The exact method is still under investigation, but it likely involved a smart contract vulnerability.
🔹 Next Steps
- zkLend is tracking the stolen
$ETH and collaborating with other teams to identify the attacker.
- TVL now sits at $1.2M, with $14.6M in borrowed funds on Starknet.
- The protocol raised $5M in 2022, backed by Delphi Digital, 3AC, and StarkWare.
Will the hacker take the deal or vanish with the funds?
