DLMC Hack

Reported loss $223K
BNB Chain
Spot Price Manipulation

What happened

On June 24, 2026, DLMC on BNB Smart Chain lost about $222,560 USDT in a flash-loan-assisted treasury drain.

Technical root cause

DLMC calculated redemptions from USDT reserves divided by externally circulating supply while excluding newly minted contract-held tokens, so flash-funded deposits could inflate its internal price and make reward redemptions overpay.

How it happened

The attacker flash-swapped about 1.42 million USDT, used helper referral accounts to make large buys, inflated DLMC's internal livePrice, then sold referral/DAO reward tokens back to the contract before repaying the loan.
