SCCN is halted

It is time to retire single chain chaosnet. The future is multi-chain.

LPs: please withdraw liquidity. The network will be shut down in 1 week.
MCCN Halted - Exploit Confirmed

During a live attack, the network has been halted. Approximately 4,000 ETH of value was extracted from the protocol.

While the treasury has the funds to cover the stolen amount, we request the attacker get in contact with the team to discuss return of funds and a bounty commensurate with the discovery.

Node operators, liquidity providers and swappers - Your funds will be available when the issue has been patched & the network resumes. Any in-progress swaps will be finalised at this time.

Problems like this highlight the resiliency of decentralized communities - Without any admin/dev intervention the community identified & halted THORChain within an hour. THORChain will emerge stronger after this attack.

More updates to follow.

(updated with new values)
MCCN Exploit Update

Loss:
Approx ~$4.9mm USD was taken in the exploit, far less than the intitial figures posted earlier. A granular breakdown is being developed by the community.

Method:
ETH Bifrost was tricked using a custom wrapper to read a deposit amount of 200 when it was actually zero. More details will be provided in the upcoming post mortem blog.

Discovery:
The issue was discovered by a community dev and anonymous nodes voluntarily used make halt command to stop their nodes. Once more than 1/3rd nodes had been halted, the network itself was halted. This was a decentralized action taken by node operators to protect the network.

Recovery:
1. Release the patch & restart the network > block pending outbounds > restore solvency.
2. Donate funds back to the ETH pool to restore lost funds to LPs
3. Release auto-solvency checker as a future preventative measure
4. Continue working with security firms to audit.

This is a disappointing moment for all, but LPs and Nodes should be unaffected after all is recovered (the funds will be restored). The network will be stronger and more resilient.

The THORChain community appreciate the inflow of support. More info to come in due course.

Who let the DOGE out?


Devs solved the DOGE imbalance pricing; open for community to add LP.

Note: DOGE pool depth is low right now. Recommended to add LP symmetrically.

Swap or add asym at your own risk.
Reminder! Please withdraw all Binance Beacon Chain (BEP2): Liquidity Pools (LP) positions, Synths and Savers before 29-Feb.

After that, Ragnarok (auto-refund) will be on best-effort basis only.
