Summary

Orion Pools is the automated market maker (AMM) and liquidity pool component of Orion Protocol, a DeFi liquidity aggregator founded in 2018 by Alexey Koloskov. On February 2, 2023, the protocol suffered a $3 million reentrancy exploit targeting its core exchange contract across Ethereum and BNB Chain, with stolen funds subsequently laundered through Tornado Cash. The project later rebranded to Lumia in late 2024, pivoting from a liquidity aggregator to a Layer 2 blockchain.
