Key Developments & Data
Maya Protocol halts MAYAChain trading after software bugs drain liquidity pools.
Six chained software bugs incorrectly credited 49 million CACAO tokens to a liquidity pool, allowing an attacker to drain assets.
The attacker extracted roughly $1.65 million, including 20.83 Bitcoin $BTC sent to an external address.
CACAO collapsed nearly 89% from about $0.115 to $0.013, driving arbitrage that pulled total pool losses to $10.9 million.
MAYAChain halted swaps and offered a bug bounty to recover funds, while planning to replace 20 BTC through external investments.

Chaining six smart contract bugs together to trick compensation logic proves once again that automated safety mechanisms are often the biggest attack vector in DeFi.
