Crypto daily spotlight



Brief introduction: Inverse Finance is a DeFi lending protocol based on fully collateralised cross-chain stablecoins: DOLA and the INV governance token. Users that stake INV tokens received returns in DOLA Revenue Sharing Rewards on Inverse’s Ethereum money market, Anchor. INV has a market capitalisation of about $30 million and circulating supply of 93,726 tokens at the time of writing.


Why it matters:

  • The attacker targeted its Anchor money market by manipulating token prices; this allowed the attacker to borrow loans against extremely low collateral

  • Last Tuesday, the gaming-focused blockchain, Ronin, lost more than $625 million worth of crypto due to an attack

  • Then, last Thursday, Ola Finance was exploited for $3.6 million in crypto; these recent attacks demonstrate the increasing sophistication of attackers’ techniques
