Donation Attack

What happened

On March 2, 2026, a flash-loan donation attack on Curve LlamaLend’s sDOLA/crvUSD market hard-liquidated 27 borrowers; the exploiter profit was approximately $240,000.

Technical root cause

The sDOLA collateral oracle used a vault exchange rate that could be materially inflated by a direct DOLA donation after the attacker reduced the vault share supply.

How it happened

The attacker flash-borrowed assets, acquired and redeemed sDOLA to reduce supply, donated DOLA via stake() to inflate the sDOLA exchange rate, then liquidated borrowers made unhealthy by the oracle movement.
