Opinion: The attacker address 1.2 billion aUSD has not been transferred, Acala may roll back through a referendum

[Opinion: The attacker’s address of 1.2 billion aUSD has not been transferred, Acala may roll back through a referendum] On August 14th, Cryptolingo DAO founder and Twitter user @IamJulianaC posted on social media that Acala uses the Honzon Fungibility Pallet to use aUSD is circulated between Acala and Karura. The Honzon protocol was created to allow aUSD to act as a native stablecoin and source of liquidity across the Polkadot and Kusama multi-chain ecosystems.

Due to a vulnerability in the protocol, the attacker address (26JmEcghNmggvT46sojckg34Py9zFRKkCcFy3gr49hrFgT2k) was able to transfer over 1 billion aUSD.

Presumably, Acala has blocked the wallet from transferring assets. The 1.2 billion aUSD in the attacker’s address has not yet left the Acala chain, and Acala is likely to roll back through a referendum. The Acala team has yet to confirm the relationship between the iBTC/aUSD pool and the Honzon protocol vulnerability.
