Summary

Kannagi Finance was a decentralized yield aggregation protocol launched on zkSync Era in June 2023. On July 29, 2023, the project's anonymous team executed an exit scam, draining approximately $2.13 million in user funds and reducing TVL from $2.13 million to $0.17. The stolen funds were subsequently laundered through the Tornado Cash crypto mixer, and all project infrastructure — website, Twitter, and GitHub repositories — was deleted.
