Minting Vulnerability Allows 50M USR Creation for $100k
A critical vulnerability was identified within the Resolv Labs protocol, leading to a severe exploit. According to on-chain analyst @ai_9684xtpa, a single address successfully manipulated the protocol's minting function. By depositing just 100,000 USDC, the attacker was able to generate 50,000,000 USR tokens. This action created a massive supply of unbacked tokens, fundamentally breaking the economic model designed to keep USR pegged to the US dollar.
USR Price Collapses 74.2% to $0.257
The immediate consequence of the exploit was a catastrophic de-pegging of the USR stablecoin. The sudden and massive increase in supply overwhelmed the market, causing the price to plummet 74.2% to a low of $0.257. The collapse from its intended $1.00 peg effectively wiped out the majority of its value in a short period. This drastic price failure signals a total loss of confidence among market participants and will likely trigger a mass exodus of liquidity providers, further destabilizing the asset.
Exploit Exposes Severe Protocol Security Flaws
The incident calls into question the security and design of the entire Resolv Labs ecosystem. The ability for one user to create such an imbalance exposes a fundamental flaw that undermines the core premise of the USR stablecoin. The fallout is expected to be significant, leading to a sustained loss of trust from users and investors. The failure not only jeopardizes the future of Resolv Labs but also raises the probability of attracting increased scrutiny from regulators concerned with the stability and security of decentralized finance protocols.
