The hacker received approximately $5.07 million in funds from Venus (2172 BNB+1.516 million CAKE+20 BTC): 1. The address first received 7400 ETH from Tornado through addresses 0x7a7... 234, and then deposited it into Aave's mortgage loan of $9.92 million. including USDT, DAI, USDC) and then transferred to multiple wallets for purchasing THE. 2.

Then use two wallets to deposit 36.1 million THE coins into Venus and lend out assets such as BTC, BNB, CAKE, etc. 3. 40 minutes later, THE's price plummeted (most likely due to his long and short positions), and his collateral on Venus was liquidated, driving THE's price further down.

WLFI launches' Super Node 'program, locking $5 million in tokens to get team' direct access opportunity '.

Investors who lock up approximately $5 million (50 million WLFI tokens) for 180 days will be listed as' Super Nodes' and will have priority access to negotiate cooperation with the project's business development team and executives.

Aave released an analysis of the "loss of $50 million from buying AAVE" event: the reason was due to insufficient liquidity rather than slippage. Aave released a post analysis of the Swap event: "On March 12, 2026, a user performed a token exchange operation through the CoW Swap router integrated into the Aave interface. The user attempted to exchange 50432688 aEthUSDT (worth approximately $50.4327 million) for aEthAAVE. Due to the unusually large volume of user orders in a illiquid market, CoW Swap's quote was extremely poor, and the user confirmed acceptance of the quote. It should be noted that the Aave protocol itself has never been at risk, as this exchange occurred outside of the protocol and was conducted through the third-party Swap protocol mentioned above. Currently, the relevant users have not yet contacted the Aave team. The key to this incident lies in the lack of market liquidity, not slippage. Insufficient liquidity refers to the inability to provide sufficient assets at a specific price in the market to meet large orders, resulting in significant price deviations. The user orders far exceed the available market liquidity, and the CoW Swap quotation has been 99.9% lower than the expected market clearing price. The unfavorable result is due to the user confirming the quotation, rather than price changes during the execution process. The fundamental reason for this incident is that large transactions are routed in a market with insufficient liquidity, leading to extreme price shocks. The user executed the transaction after confirming a clear warning on the interface. To prevent similar incidents, Aave Shield will be introduced in the Swap widget: by default, it blocks exchanges with price shocks exceeding 25%, and users need to manually close it to execute high-risk trades. The transaction incurs a handling fee of approximately $110368, which will be refunded after user verification. According to the official interface, the Polymarket encryption sector has added price forecasts for DOGE, BNB, and HYPE. Coinbase and Bybit are in talks for an investment cooperation agreement.
