Texture Finance
Summary
Texture Finance is a Solana-based decentralized lending protocol founded in 2021 and backed by $5 million in venture funding from P2P Capital, Sino Global Capital, Wintermute, and Jane Street Capital. In July 2025, a missing ownership check in its USDC vault smart contract allowed an attacker to steal approximately $2.2 million in user funds; the protocol negotiated a 10% greyhat bounty and recovered roughly $1.98 million. User withdrawals remained disabled following the exploit, and a formal repayment timeline had not been published as of mid-2025.
