Roe Finance is a decentralized lending protocol built on Ethereum that allows Uniswap v2 liquidity providers to lend LP tokens for additional yield. On January 11, 2023, the protocol suffered a flash loan-driven price oracle manipulation exploit that drained approximately $80,000 from its pools, with the majority of profits captured by a front-running MEV bot rather than the original attacker. The protocol issued no official post-mortem or public response to the incident, raising concerns about transparency and operational accountability.
