Incident Overview
Amun is a leading provider of index tokens across multiple blockchains, enabling token holders to gain broad exposures to different smart contract platforms and DeFi sectors. The indexes are rebalanced regularly, and token holders own fractions of the underlying constituents. Our index tokens can be redeemed by burning the token on our platform to receive the underlying tokens.

What the Attacker Needed to Succeed
Understanding the prerequisites for this type of attack helps auditors identify protocols that are most at risk and helps developers build better defenses.
What Auditors Should Check
If you're auditing a protocol with similar architecture to Amun, these are the critical security checks that could have prevented this incident (December 2022).
- Verify all logic paths related to Controlled Rebalance Manipulation are guarded by proper access controls and input validation
- Review privileged functions (owner, admin, governance) for potential abuse vectors - centralization risks should be documented and bounded with timelocks or multi-sigs
