Summary

Arbix Finance was a yield farming protocol on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) that executed a deliberate rug pull on January 4, 2022, draining approximately $10 million in user funds. The anonymous development team minted 10 million unbacked ARBX tokens, dumped them on PancakeSwap to collapse the price, drained all user vaults, bridged the stolen assets to Ethereum via AnySwap, laundered them through Tornado Cash, and deleted the project website, Twitter, and Telegram accounts. Despite holding a CertiK audit from November 2021, the exploited contract fell entirely outside the audit scope.
