Curve Finance Bounces Back

The platform has effectively recovered approximately $50 million, or 70% of the stolen funds, easing the concerns of both users and stakeholders.

An investigation is proceeding regarding the remaining missing funds.

The recovered funds were either returned directly by multiple hackers or safeguarded by ethical administrators of MEV bots.

This recovery provides optimism that most stolen assets will be returned to their rightful owners, marking one of the year’s most notable crypto thefts.

The attack on Curve Finance, which exploited a critical reentrancy flaw in its smart contract logic, prompted the platform to offer a $1.85 million reward for correctly identifying the assailants responsible for the outstanding funds.

Despite the setback, the enterprise is determined to recover, as shown by the continued accumulation of whales and substantial transactions.

Santiment, a crypto-analytical resource, recently conducted a comprehensive analysis of Curve Finance’s on-chain metrics, disclosing the project’s attempts to recover from the bearish sentiment that followed the hack.

Notably, particular addresses have consistently increased their holdings over the past two weeks, increasing their total holdings from 33% to 41% of the circulating supply of CRV.

With the return of a substantial portion of the stolen funds and a growing accumulation of assets, the platform appears poised to surmount the challenges posed by the recent breach and reestablish its position in the crypto space.
