ALEX Protocol suffered an exploit on June 7, leading to a substantial loss of 8.37 million USD. Flaws in self-listing logic were identified as the primary cause, affecting tokens including STX, sBTC, USDC, and WBTC.
In response to the exploit, ALEX committed to a full compensation plan for the affected users, utilizing USDC. This initiative reflects the protocol’s responsibility toward its community and aims to enhance user trust.
The incident has sparked discussions on increasing security measures within DeFi protocols. ALEX’s decision to suspend self-listing functionality and conduct comprehensive security audits may influence future market conditions and policy discussions.
