Update: Saw the official announcement from @yalaorg saying they would re-inject liquidity into YU on the 23rd. Today, the 23rd, $Yu has basically returned to 0.98-0.99.
The overall issue was caused by a temporary key problem.
When Yala created the L0 cross-chain bridge, the attacker exploited a temporary local key to create an additional bridge, specifically Polygon-SOL.
The attacker then minted 30 million fake $Yu on Polygon and bridged it to SOL to withdraw real $Yu.
The attacker took away 7.7 million $Yu, which caused a major sell-off and temporarily de-pegged $Yu.
Fortunately, the project team acted quickly to prevent the situation from worsening. Currently, the attacker has returned the remaining 22.28 million fake $Yu.
Additionally, the project team will destroy these fake Yu and has personally covered the lost liquidity, bringing $Yu back to its peg. They’ve also initiated a claims process for liquidation penalties and compensation for affected users.
This matter has been resolved satisfactorily, and we sincerely hope Yala can recover the funds in the future.
