UwU Lend Protocol by Frog Nation’s Ex-CFO 0xSifu Drained of $19.3M – Crypto News
The decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol UwU Lend has been compromised, leading to a substantial loss of approximately $19.3 million in digital assets.
This event is the latest in a long series of incidents that have raised further questions on the security of DeFi platforms.
UwU Lend Protocol Drained of $19.3M
As per the reports from the leading blockchain security companies such as Arkham and Cyver, the attack was a swift one where the hacker made three transactions within six minutes.

The security breach was first detected by Cyvers on their X platform, raising an alarm for UwU Lend on the activities that resulted in the unauthorized transfer of funds.
“The UwU lending contract was hacked and the attacker was able to steal substantial sums of funds from the liquidity pools, ” said Meir Dolev, co-founder of Cyvers.
The stolen funds, which included the major cryptocurrencies such as WBTC and stablecoins, were quickly liquidated on the Uniswap exchange, making it difficult for the stolen assets to be tracked.
Security Measures and Industry Reaction
This exploit is a part of a growing concern within the crypto space as DeFi platforms continue to fall victim to hacks. This has led to a reassessment of the security measures that are in place within the crypto space due to the repeated occurrence of these incidents.
Some of the measures that experts recommend include proper real-time monitoring and adoption of tight security measures to protect users’ assets.
In addition, the incident highlights the necessity of the DeFi platforms’ interaction with their users to share the information promptly when such actions take place for the purpose of credibility.
Hacks Preceding the UwU Lend Hack
The UwU Lend hack is another attack in the crypto world this year alongside other hacks such as the one that occurred at DMM Bitcoin, a Japanese cryptocurrency exchange.
The DMM Bitcoin exchange was hacked last week, and the exchange has stated that it will buy more than 4,500 BTC to compensate the affected users.
These back to back incidents point to the fact that there are still weaknesses in the cryptocurenncy exchanges and DeFi platforms and the need for stronger measures to address the issue.
