Chainlink USD Price Feeds for DOLA Go Live on Ethereum and Base

**What Happened** A compromised AWS KMS key allowed an attacker to mint $80M USR against just $200K USDC collateral. The exploit bypassed all 18 security audits because it targeted operational infrastructure, not smart contract code. **Key Details** - USR crashed from $1.00 to $0.025 in 17 minutes - ~$25M extracted before containment - Inverse Finance's Risk Working Group paused affected markets within 15 minutes - Final bad debt: $340,060 DOLA (contained and covered) - No reentrancy, flash loans, or oracle manipulation involved **The Real Problem** The contract had no on-chain safeguards: no mint cap, no collateral ratio check, no maximum output. It simply executed whatever the compromised key signed. **What Should Change** Four critical monitoring requirements emerged: 1. Real-time tracking of vault balances vs. token supply 2. Mandatory mint permission audits during onboarding 3. Shell value assessment (extractable value vs. project TVL) 4. Automated pause triggers for supply spikes or price deviations Resolv has paused all redemptions while developing recovery plans.
