Solv Protocol suffered a $2.7 million exploit due to a smart contract bug

Deep Dive
The Bitcoin-based decentralized finance platform Solv Protocol has reported an exploit targeting one of its token vaults, resulting in a loss of $2.7 million. The platform has offered the attacker a 10% bounty in exchange for the return of the stolen funds.
In an announcement on X, Solv Protocol stated that fewer than 10 users were affected by the exploit. The stolen assets include 38.05 Solv Protocol BTC (SolvBTC), a token pegged to Bitcoin (BTC). The project is working with crypto security firms Hypernative Labs, SlowMist, and CertiK to investigate the incident and has implemented measures to prevent future occurrences.
Solv Protocol enables users to deposit Bitcoin and receive SolvBTC, which can then be used for lending, borrowing, or staking on other blockchains. The protocol currently holds over $1.7 billion worth of Bitcoin across 24,226 BTC, positioning itself as a significant on-chain Bitcoin reserve.
While Solv Protocol has not officially confirmed the exact cause, crypto security researchers suggest the exploit stemmed from a vulnerability in one of its smart contracts. This bug allegedly allowed the hacker to mint an excessive amount of a protocol token. Security researcher Chris Dior noted that the hacker exploited this vulnerability 22 times before swapping the minted tokens for approximately 38 SolvBTC.
Pseudonymous researcher “Pyro” identified the attack as a re-entrancy attack, a known vulnerability in smart contracts that has affected numerous DeFi protocols over the years. This type of attack exploits unexpected inputs to bypass security measures within smart contracts.
Solv Protocol shared an Ethereum wallet address on X, inviting the hacker to accept a 10% bounty. However, as of the latest reports, the hacker has not communicated via the on-chain address, according to Etherscan.
