anchored·2fMXjR…WB5XSummary
Sunray Finance was a perpetual-trading DEX protocol on Arbitrum that suffered a critical exploit on October 30, 2024, resulting in approximately $2.7–2.9 million in losses. An attacker — using what the team attributed to a compromised private key — upgraded the protocol's management contract and minted 200 sextillion SUN tokens, then swapped a portion for USDT before the token price collapsed to zero. The project website subsequently went offline with no confirmed fund recovery, and the protocol's pre-exploit marketing included unverified claims of SoftBank backing and unsustainable 299% annual yield promises.
