oracle

The Ploutus protocol's liquidity pool on the Ethereum chain (0xD060...945D2) was attacked due to a misconfiguration of the oracle, resulting in a loss of approximately $390,000.Analysis shows that the pool incorrectly pointed the USDC price to Chainlink's BTC/USD feed, causing a significant price deviation. The attacker exploited this vulnerability, borrowing 187 ETH with only 8 USDC as collateral. On-chain data indicates that the attack transaction occurred in the next block after the configuration change was confirmed, suggesting that the attacker was monitoring in real-time and quickly took advantage of the parameter update.

According to Gate market data, U.S. stocks opened with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 0.35%, the S&P 500 index up 0.43%, and the Nasdaq Composite up 0.67%. NVIDIA (NVDA.O) opened up 1%, as the company is set to announce its fourth-quarter earnings after the market closes. Oracle rose 2.5%, after Oppenheimer upgraded its rating to "outperform."

The DeFi lending protocol Moonwell released an official statement following approximately $1.78 million in bad debt caused by an oracle configuration error. The statement confirmed that a serious error in one oracle configuration led to the system not calculating the cbETH price as expected through cbETH/ETH × ETH/USD, but instead only using the cbETH/ETH exchange rate. This resulted in the cbETH price being approximately $1.12 instead of the actual market price of about $2200. The attacker only needed to repay about $1 in debt to liquidate 1 cbETH, causing a large number of borrowers' collateral assets to be liquidated and resulting in significant bad debt. In total, 1096.317 cbETH was liquidated, most of which was bad debt valued in cbETH.As the oracle fix requires a five-day governance voting and time-lock process, liquidations are still ongoing during this period. A related governance proposal for the fix is planned to be launched.

According to Decrypt, the DeFi lending protocol Moonwell has incurred approximately $1.78 million in bad debt due to an oracle configuration error.After enabling Chainlink's OEV wrapper contract through governance proposal MIP-X43, there was a severe misconfiguration of the price oracle for cbETH, which was once valued at only $1. On-chain trading bots and liquidators acted quickly, seizing cbETH collateral worth thousands of dollars by repaying a debt of about $1.This configuration error led to the liquidation of 1,096.317 cbETH, wiping out most or all of the collateral for many borrowers, leaving the protocol with a significant amount of bad debt. The Moonwell team immediately reduced the cbETH borrowing limit and supply cap to 0.01 upon discovery to limit further losses, but a spokesperson declined to comment further on the source of the error or the details of the vulnerability.

According to Coinbob's popular address monitoring, Hyperliquid early contributor Loracle today opened a 20x leveraged short position on BTC and ETH with a scale of 56 million, both of which have incurred unrealized losses. Currently, it has placed a short position of about 6.6 million dollars in the ETH price range of approximately 2400 to 2440 dollars, which has not yet been executed. In addition, during the rise in spot gold, it also opened a 10x leveraged long position on PAXG (on-chain gold).The main position information is as follows: HYPE (5x long position): position size approximately 49.67 million dollars, average price 24.37 dollars, unrealized profit approximately 13.63 million dollars (+137%). ETH (20x short position): position size approximately 29.49 million dollars, average price approximately 2207 dollars, unrealized loss approximately 930,000 dollars (-64%). BTC (20x short position): position size approximately 27.08 million dollars, average price approximately 74467 dollars, unrealized loss approximately 737,000 dollars (-56%). PAXG (10x long position): position size approximately 3.02 million dollars, average price approximately 4985 dollars, unrealized profit approximately 63,000 dollars (+20%). Compared to yesterday, its account position size has increased from 50 million dollars to 110 million dollars, and the current HYPE long position has seen an unrealized profit decrease of about 6 million dollars. This large-scale establishment of BTC and ETH short positions may be intended to hedge against its substantial HYPE long position, making it the largest on-chain HYPE long whale at present.

According to market news, the current HYPE price has surpassed $36, and LoraCle has increased its HYPE long position to 1,478,841 tokens (approximately $53 million), with a current floating profit of over $17 million. At the same time, he also holds a small amount of LIT (at $1.599) with a 3x leveraged short position, bringing the total floating profit to over $27.5 million.

Vitalik posted that the current crypto industry needs better decentralized stablecoins, and there are still three issues to be resolved:· Ideally, a tracking index should be found that is more suitable than the dollar price: one of the visions for national-level resilience should be to break free from dependence on the dollar price.· Design of oracles that are decentralized and cannot be controlled by large amounts of capital: if oracles can be bought by large funds, the protocol can only defend against attacks by making the cost of the attack higher than the protocol's market value through high-value extraction.· Addressing the issue of staking yield competition: if stablecoins cannot provide competitive yields (currently often lagging behind staking yields by several percentage points), it will be difficult to attract funds in the long term.
