The Curve Finance lending protocol has ended governance token rewards for certain liquidity pools affected by recent exploits. The decision was made by the Curve emergency decentralized autonomous organization (Curve E-DAO) and applies to pools for alETH+ETH, msETH-ETH, pETH-ETH, crvCRVETH, Arbitrum Tricrypto, and multibtc3CRV. The change can be overturned by a full vote of the Curve DAO in the future. The announcement was made by Curve E-DAO member Gabriel Shapiro. The decision was made to prevent further participation in compromised pools. The affected pools were targeted in the July 30 Curve exploit and the July 6 Multichain exploit. The Multichain incident involved over $100 million worth of cryptocurrency being withdrawn from bridges, while the Curve exploit resulted in the loss of over $47 million worth of crypto. Other hacks and scams have also occurred in July and August, including Alphapo allegedly losing $60 million and zkSync being exploited for $3.4 million.
