On October 11, 2022, an associated staking product, STAX Finance, suffered a smart contract exploit due to missing access control on the migrateStake() function, resulting in approximately $2.34 million in stolen funds that were subsequently laundered through Tornado Cash. The core TempleDAO vaults were not directly compromised, but the team's anonymous structure and the unrecovered stolen funds remain notable risk factors.","timeline":[{"date":"2021-08-09","event":"TempleDAO launched on Ethereum by an anonymous team, introducing the TEMPLE token with a Treasury Price Index mechanism.","source":""},{"date":"2022-06-01","event":"TempleDAO core contracts audited by PeckShield.","source":""},{"date":"2022-10-11","event":"STAX Finance (a TempleDAO liquidity layer) exploited via missing access control on migrateStake() function; approximately $2.34 million (1,831 ETH) stolen.
