Question 1

¿Qué sucedió en la explotación de Thetanuts Finance?

Accepted Answer

An attacker exploited a flaw in the redemption math of a deprecated Thetanuts Finance vault on Ethereum, draining approximately $2.1 million on June 15, 2026. PeckShield reported that around $2 million in option tokens were recovered by a whitehat, while the exploiter swapped about $105,000 in USDC for roughly 60 ETH.

Question 2

¿Los usuarios actuales de Thetanuts Finance se ven afectados?

Accepted Answer

No. Thetanuts Finance stated that the exploited vault was deprecated years ago and "has no relation to any of our current contracts or products," according to the team's post on X.

Question 3

¿Cuál fue la vulnerabilidad que permitió el ataque?

Accepted Answer

Security researcher ExVul identified the root cause as a flaw in the legacy vault's redemption math, which used a `backing * amount / totalSupply` formula to calculate share payouts, allowing the attacker to withdraw more funds than they were entitled to.
