Question 1

What is Asterix and how is it connected to Flooring Protocol?

Accepted Answer

Asterix is a project that forked its code from Flooring Protocol and the DN404/BT404 token standard. That shared codebase meant the same vulnerability exploited in Flooring on June 8 could be used against Asterix the following day.

Question 2

How much was lost and recovered in the Flooring Protocol exploit?

Accepted Answer

The total impact from the Flooring exploit exceeded $900,000, with white hat researchers recovering approximately $500,000 worth of NFTs, including 29 Bored Apes and two CryptoPunks.

Question 3

What caused the vulnerability in Flooring Protocol?

Accepted Answer

According to Yuga Labs VP of Blockchain 0xQuit, a flaw in Flooring's BT404-style accounting system allowed a malicious token ID to pass one ownership check while returning a different result in later accounting, creating a "ghost ownership" state that gave the attacker a near-infinite balance of claim tokens.
