How scoring works →Summary
The LML/USDT staking protocol was a yield-bearing staking contract deployed on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) that suffered a catastrophic price manipulation exploit on April 1, 2026, resulting in approximately $950,000 in losses. An attacker aggregated flash loans totaling 309,529,000 USDT, artificially inflated the LML token price by purchasing nearly the entire circulating supply and burning it, then claimed outsized staking rewards against the manipulated price. Stolen funds — converted to 450.6 ETH — were subsequently laundered through Tornado Cash, and no public team response or recovery effort has been documented.
