designed to provide a semi-stable floor price for its native JIMBO token. On May 28, 2023, just three days after launching its V2, the protocol was exploited via a flash loan attack that drained approximately 4,090 ETH (~$7.5 million) by exploiting a lack of slippage control in the JimboController contract. The attacker rejected a $800,000 bounty offer, laundered the full amount through Tornado Cash, and remains unidentified; no funds have been recovered.","timeline":[{"date":"2023-05-01","event":"Jimbos Protocol launches initial version on Arbitrum","source":"CoinDesk","source_url":"https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/05/29/arbitrum-based-jimbos-protocol-scurries-for-revival-after-7m-exploit"},{"date":"2023-05-25","event":"Jimbos Protocol V2 launches on Arbitrum","source":"The Block","source_url":"https://www.theblock.co/post/232419/jimbos-protocol-exploited-for-7-5-million-three-days-after-v2-launch"},{"date":"2023-05-28","event":"Attacker exploits lack of slippage control in JimboController shift() function via flash loan, draining 4,090 ETH (~$7.5M).
