⚠️ Urgent: Exit asdCRV LlamaLend Market on Arbitrum Due to Oracle Risk

**Critical Alert for Arbitrum Users** Users with deposits or loans in the asdCRV LlamaLend market on Arbitrum are urged to exit immediately as a precautionary measure. **Key Points:** - The market is currently stable, but faces potential instability - Price oracle may become unreliable due to the vsdCRV exploit - Unstable oracle could trigger unexpected liquidations - Action recommended: withdraw deposits and close loans ASAP **Background Context:** This warning follows previous stress tests of LlamaLend markets. While Ethereum-based systems performed well with no bad debt, Arbitrum markets showed vulnerability due to insufficient cross-chain arbitrage activity. The current vsdCRV exploit creates additional risk specifically for the asdCRV market's price oracle mechanism, making immediate exit the safest option until the situation stabilizes.

LlamaRisk Releases sDOLA Attack Postmortem: $822k Borrower Losses, Curve DAO May Compensate

LlamaRisk Releases sDOLA Attack Postmortem: $822k Borrower Losses, Curve DAO May Compensate

**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.
