Orange Finance
Summary
Orange Finance is an Arbitrum-based automated liquidity management protocol designed for LPDfi (liquidity provider DeFi), enabling users to earn swap fees and options premiums via concentrated AMM vaults. On January 8, 2025, the protocol suffered a critical security breach in which an attacker compromised the admin private key, exploited a misconfigured multi-signature wallet that required only a single signature to execute, and drained approximately $843,556 across all active vaults. The protocol was flagged by ZachXBT and has not resumed normal operations since the incident.
