News linked to both this project and an event.
According to Zon monitoring, available information indicates that this security incident may have originated from a Day 0 vulnerability in Initia's MoveVM built on Cosmos SDK. The vulnerability allowed attackers to mint additional tokens on Initia L1, but does not affect the native token INIT. Before the blockchain was halted, the attacker had already transferred out approximately $2.7 million worth of AUSD, ETH, and USDC through additional minting and cross-chain transfers. The team is still investigating, and the subsequent impact and further details remain to be confirmed.
Initia officially announced that due to a security incident, Initia L1 and its Rollups have been suspended. The team is working with security teams, validators, and exchanges to investigate the incident and determine the scope of impact. Initia stated that verified information will be released through official channels going forward, and reminded users to be wary of unofficial links, messages, and unverified claims circulating during the incident.
