Incident Timeline

  1. 01

    setup

    Synthetic vault seeded

    The fictional vault starts with balanced shares and assets in the prototype model.

  2. 02

    exploit

    Deposit follows stale denominator

    The modeled deposit path mints too many shares after fee settlement changes accounted assets.

  3. 03

    state change

    Share price drifts

    The fictional share supply grows faster than the current asset balance supports.

  4. 04

    detection

    Invariant check fails

    The synthetic invariant panel flags the mismatch between minted shares and asset entitlement.

  5. 05

    patch

    Refresh before mint

    The corrected prototype flow refreshes accounted assets before calculating shares.

  6. 06

    review
