The liquidity staking protocol Volo on chain
#SUİ recently faced a security incident, but their response was quite 'textbook level'.
On April 22, the protocol encountered a vulnerability attack, affecting assets like
#WBTC ,
#XAUm , and
#USDC , with a total of approximately $3.5 million siphoned off. However, the team quickly identified the source of the attack and initiated a series of 'recovery operations'.
The latest update is that Volo claims to have recovered about 90% of the stolen funds, successfully converted them into stablecoins, and bridged them back to the Sui network. The funds have already returned to the platform's wallet. A portion of WBTC was intercepted during the cross-chain process and has also been recovered.
The remaining loss is around $200,000, and the team has stated that they will fully compensate it from the project's own funds, without passing the cost onto users. Additionally, wallets associated with the hacker have been frozen by multiple parties, and some funds were intercepted by the platform and on-chain mechanisms.
From the data perspective, this incident did impact short-term sentiment, with TVL dropping slightly from $15.83 million to $15.27 million, and SUI's price also experienced minor fluctuations.
Overall, this feels more like a 'rapid response crisis management': attack → fund chasing → freezing → recovery → compensation promise, all completed within a few days. While there are still losses, most assets have been pulled back into a safe range.
