Summary

Panoptic V1.1 is a permissionless, oracle-free perpetual options protocol built on Uniswap V3 liquidity positions, developed by Panoptic Labs and incubated by Advanced Blockchain AG. On August 25, 2025, a Cantina researcher disclosed a critical position-spoofing vulnerability rooted in the protocol's XOR-based fingerprinting system, placing approximately $4–5 million in user funds at risk. A coordinated whitehat rescue secured over 98% of remaining at-risk funds, and ZachXBT flagged the incident, contributing to reduced community trust in the V1.1 deployment.
