According to a disclosure <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/iearn-finance\/yearn-security\/blob\/master\/disclosures\/2021-02-04.md\">published<\/a> by Yearn this morning, the exploit \u2014 which featured over 160 nested transactions and has been called one of the most complex to date \u2014 netted the attacker $2.7 million in profits, and cost the vault $11 million in DAI.<\/p>\n<p>But, much like how Yearn core contributors are often among those who convene in the wake of other projects experiencing exploits, the crypto community is stepping in to help. <\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the vulnerability disclosure, stablecoin Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino announced in a Tweet that the company had frozen $1.7 million in stolen funds, which will presumably be returned to the project. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Tether_to?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Tether_to<\/a> just froze 1.7M USDt stolen as part of the hack of Yearn DAI v1 vault.<br \/>More info here <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MjGScEucQB\">https:\/\/t.co\/MjGScEucQB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Paolo Ardoino (@paoloardoino) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paoloardoino\/status\/1357699423850156032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 5, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Likewise, senior Yearn core developer Banteg has informally proposed to the MakerDAO community the creation of a purpose-built collateralized debt position (CDP) to make affected users whole.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If the proposal moves forward, the CDP will be funded from the 6666 YFI tokens that were minted this morning after a rancorous debate about the creation of a Yearn treasury. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are contemplating opening a cdp with the minted yfi to make the vault whole,\u201d Banteg wrote in the MakerDAO chat shortly after the exploit last night. \u201cShare price can be reverted back by airdropping 11m dai to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to Cointelegraph, semi-anonymous core contributor Tracheopteryx noted that the proposal is one among many \u201cinitial ideas,\u201d and that \u201cnothing has been decided yet.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people in our community are brainstorming potential responses to the 11M yDAI vault exploit last night [&#8230;] One option is to open a new CDP at Maker for YFI, deposit some of our newly minted tokens, mint DAI, then pay that DAI into the yDAI vault. After this we could pay off the debt over time from fees,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>So far, the MakerDAO community seems to back the idea.

Likewise, commentators in MakerDAO\u2019s chat noted the potential marketing benefits of stepping in to assist another DAO, as well as the historic nature of such a proposal. <\/p>\n<p>The historical implication seemed to particularly excite Banteg:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cdaos bailing out daos is the future we deserve.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
