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.","timeline":[{"date":"2024-09-17","event":"SUN token launches on Arbitrum at approximately $7, with trading beginning on the Sunray Finance DEX.","source":""},{"date":"2024-10-01","event":"SUN token price reaches approximately $10 as the protocol markets 299% annual yield and alleged SoftBank backing.","source":""},{"date":"2024-10-30","event":"Attacker upgrades Sunray Finance management contract (0xb1bbe57f5c474996a84274f0078a2411e1a65b8a) and mints 200 sextillion SUN tokens, swapping approximately half for $2.1 million USDT.
