anchored·2trpYk…1yjkSummary
LULA Token (contract 0x72ad494fda63d2b91b9d7290737e8ef1194a0c47) is a BEP-20 token deployed on Binance Smart Chain that was exploited on July 29, 2026 for approximately $578,000 in a reserve manipulation attack. The attacker abused the token's recycle() function to drain the PancakeSwap V2 liquidity pair and called sync() to force reserves to attacker-controlled values, leveraging a $237 million flash loan after 12 days of on-chain preparation. Three independent blockchain security firms — TenArmor, BlockSec Phalcon, and CertiK — confirmed the exploit mechanics.
