Curve Finance Reports Strong Yields in Week 19 of 2026

Curve Finance has announced a **free-market approach** to help lenders recover funds lost in the CRV LlamaLend market during extreme volatility on October 10, 2025. **Key Points:** - The recovery option targets lenders affected by the October volatility event - Curve is building the solution publicly while strengthening system safeguards - Previous stress tests showed Ethereum systems performed well with no bad debt - Arbitrum experienced minor under-collateralization (~0.7% or $7k in CRV market) **The Challenge:** Rapid losses during volatility periods, particularly for non-BTC/ETH collaterals, highlighted the critical importance of cross-chain arbitrage. Arbitrum markets lacked sufficient arbitrage traders for CRV and FXN tokens. Curve continues emphasizing that **arbitrage is essential** for LlamaLend's health and is calling on traders to participate.

**Attack Details and Impact** LlamaRisk published a postmortem analyzing the sDOLA market liquidations on LlamaLend. The exploit resulted in: - **$822,000 in borrower losses** through forced liquidations - **~$200,000 profit** for the attacker - Lenders remained unaffected **Root Cause** The attack exploited a combination of factors: - Price oracle vulnerability to donation attacks - Limited sDOLA liquidity outside the collateral market - Specific handling requirements for vault collaterals in LlamaLend **Potential Compensation** Curve DAO is considering compensating affected borrowers for the $822k loss, pending community discussion and governance vote. **Security Learnings** The incident provided critical insights before LlamaLend V2's release. Developers noted the attacker likely would have earned more through a responsible security disclosure than the exploit itself. The team is now incorporating oracle code from unreleased 2-way markets as mitigation for future vault collateral markets.
