ZkLend, a decentralized lending protocol on Starknet, has confirmed an exploit on its platform and urged the attacker to return stolen funds.
While the platform has not disclosed the exact amount taken, blockchain security firm Cyvers estimates the loss at approximately $9.5 million.
Bounty offer
In a Feb. 12 post on X, the lending protocol stated:
“We understand that you are responsible for today’s attack on zkLend. You may keep 10% of the funds as a whitehat bounty, and send back the remaining 90%, or 3,300 ETH to be exact, to this Ethereum address: 0xCf31e1b97790afD681723fA1398c5eAd9f69B98C.”
The platform assured the attacker that no legal action would be taken if the assets were returned before the deadline of 00:00 UTC on Feb. 14, 2025. However, ZkLend intends to pursue legal measures and track the stolen assets if the hacker refuses to do so.
The protocol emphasized the legitimacy of its request, stating that the message was sent from its Ethereum ZEND token deployer acco
