anchored·39AwoP…kKytSummary
Radiant Capital (branded on-chain as Radiant V2 after its March 2023 upgrade) was a cross-chain money-market protocol on Arbitrum, BNB Chain and other networks that let users deposit and borrow assets across chains via LayerZero. The protocol suffered two major security incidents, a roughly $4.5 million flash-loan exploit in January 2024 and a roughly $50 million multisig compromise in October 2024 that Radiant's own investigators and Mandiant attributed to a North Korea-linked threat actor; most of the stolen funds were never recovered. In June 2026 the Radiant DAO announced it was winding down operations after 18 months of failed recovery and fundraising efforts, though the frontend and smart contracts were said to remain accessible for withdrawals.
