On December 4, 2024, the protocol suffered a critical smart contract exploit in its staking contract that drained approximately $480,000–$500,000 worth of VSTR tokens — an attack that occurred less than one month after the token began trading. Stolen funds were laundered through Tornado Cash, the token price collapsed by roughly 50%, and the project's ability to fully compensate affected users remains unresolved.","timeline":[{"date":"2023-03-01","event":"Vestra DAO project inception date per CertiK records.","source":""},{"date":"2024-08-05","event":"CertiK delivered second security audit; 14 findings identified including 3 major issues; no critical issues flagged.","source":""},{"date":"2024-10-29","event":"CertiK granted Vestra DAO a Gold team verification badge with 4 verified core team members.","source":""},{"date":"2024-11-01","event":"VSTR token begins trading on Uniswap V3 (approximate date, approximately one month before the exploit).","source":""},{"date":"2024-11-04","event":"Attacker stakes 500,000 VSTR in the locked staking contract, beginning a one-month preparation phase for the exploit.","source":""},{"date":"2024-12-04","event":"Exploit executed: attacker repeatedly called unStake() on an inactive staking position, draining approximately 73,720,000 VSTR (~$480,000–$500,000).

How verification works. The “Row integrity” check above is computed in your browser — your machine recomputes the SHA-256 of the canonical bytes and compares against the stored hash. No avoid.net server can fake that check. The “full verify” link goes one level deeper: your browser fetches the on-chain transaction from a Solana RPC node and confirms the same hash is in the memo. If you don’t want to trust either avoid.net or the public RPC, run the CLI verifier on your own machine — python -m src.verify_decision <event_id>.
