Summary

Astrid Finance is an Ethereum-based liquid restaking protocol built on EigenLayer, allowing users to deposit liquid staking tokens (stETH, rETH, cbETH) in exchange for liquid restaked tokens. On October 28, 2023, the protocol suffered a smart contract exploit due to a missing input validation check in its withdraw function, resulting in the theft of approximately $228,000 in assets. The attacker eventually returned 80% of stolen funds after an on-chain negotiation and legal threat by the team; all affected users received refunds, and the vulnerable contracts remain paused pending re-audit.
