Bine ați venit la Finance Redefined, doza dumneavoastră săptămânală de esențial finanțe descentralizate (DeFi) perspective — un buletin informativ creat pentru a vă aduce evoluții semnificative în ultima săptămână.
The last week’s headline was dominated by some of the biggest hacks in DeFi. This week is redemption time for many DeFi protocols that either averted an attempted hack or got a significant chunk of their stolen funds back.
The BitBTC bridge reportedly had a bug that would essentially allow an attacker to mint fake tokens on one side of the bridge and swap them for real ones. However, one Twitter user was able to foresee the vulnerability and informed the cross-bridge platform about it.
The Moola Market attacker has scored about a half-million dollar “bug bounty” after choosing to return a majority of the cryptocurrency they exploited from the Celo-based lending protocol. Cryptocurrency market maker Wintermute repaid a $92 million TrueFi loan on time despite suffering a $160 million hack.
Mango Market hackers that returned a significant chunk of the $117 million stolen from the protocol could still face legal action despite the protocol deciding to award him a $50 million bounty.
The top 100 DeFi tokens remained bearish for another week, as the majority of the tokens traded in red, barring a few. The total value locked also remained below $50 billion for the second consecutive week.
Utilizatorul Twitter salvează podul cross-chain de la potențialele exploatare
O punte încrucișată între BitBTC și rețeaua Ethereum layer-2 Optimism a reușit să evite o exploatare potențial costisitoare datorită muncii unui utilizator Twitter cu ochii de vultur.
Obiceiul pod cu lanțuri încrucișate oferă utilizatorilor o rampă trimite active între rețeaua Optimism and BitAnt’s DeFi ecosystem, which includes yield services, nonfungible tokens (NFTs), swaps and the BitBTC token, in which 1 million BitBTC represents 1 Bitcoin (BTC).
Atacatorul Moola Market returnează cea mai mare parte a 9 milioane USD jefuiți pentru recompensă de 500 USD
An attacker has returned just over 93% of the more than $9 million worth of cryptocurrencies they exploited from the Celo blockchain-based DeFi lending protocol Moola Market.
At around 6:00 pm UTC on Oct. 18, the Moola Market team tweeted it was investigating an incident and had paused all activity, adding it had contacted authorities and offered a bug bounty to the exploiter if funds were returned within 24 hours.
MangoMarket’ss exploiter said actions were ‘legal,’ but were they?
The $117 million Mango Markets exploiter has defended his actions as “legal,” but a lawyer suggests that they could still face the consequences.
Self-described digital art dealer Avraham Eisenberg outed himself as the exploiter in a series of tweets on Oct. 15, claiming he and a team undertook a “highly profitable trading strategy” and that it was “legal open market actions, using the protocol as designed.”
Wintermute repays $92M TrueFi loan on time despite suffering a $160M hack
When Wintermute, a cryptocurrency market maker, lost $160 million due to a hack and concerns related to the repayment of debt worth $189.4 million surfaced. However, in an exciting turn of events, Wintermute paid back its largest debt due Oct. 15, involving a $92 million Tether (USDT) împrumut emis de TrueFi.
După rambursarea împrumutului de 92 de milioane de dolari acordat de TrueFi, Wintermute încă mai datorează 75 de milioane de dolari către Maple Finance în monede USD (USDC) and wrapped Ether (wETH) and $22.4 million to Clearpool, a total of $97.4 million in debt.

On Oct. 18, Binance delegated 13.2 million Uniswap (UNI) tokens from its books, which represents 5.9% of the voting power — a percentage of tokens delegated to the exchange. Compared to the total supply of UNI, the amount delegated represents 1.3%.
