Incident Overview
After the price update was suspended, two addresses lent about $13.5 million in assets by staking 230 million LUNA (worth about $2.3 million at the time), resulting in a loss of about $11.2 million to the protocol. At present, the LUNA lending market has been suspended, and this loss will be made up by the risk fund.
