Skyward finance, an initial DEX offering (IDO) platform enabling fair token distribution for projects on the Near Protocol, has reportedly been exploited for 1.1 million Near Protocol NEAR tokens, worth an estimated $3 at time of publication. The news was shared on Twitter by Aurora Lab’s community moderator Sanket Naikwadi, who stated that the exploit was first noticed by a member of the Near Protocol community, who goes by the handle Nearscout. According to the series of tweets on the exploit, Ref finance — a community-led multi-purpose decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built on the Near Protocol — and the Skyward team have been notified of the drain. The exploiter reportedly initiated the drain by buying lots of skyward tokens on Ref Finance, and “then redeemed it through Treasury on Skyward Finance,” where they appear to have “got lots of NEAR than what 1 SKYWARD was worth.” Naikwadi cautioned SKYWARD Token holders to redeem or swap their tokens wherever they can, and no longer interact with Skyward Finance, adding that the “hacker has already withdrawn NEAR to lots of different wallets.”
