Incident Overview
Attackers minted large amounts of unbacked fake DGLD on Base and dumped them on DEXes. The team promptly paused contracts, froze illicit tokens, and contained the incident. Physical gold was never at risk, all pre-exploit holders retained their backed tokens, with ~$250k economic impact mostly borne by the project.
