Superfluid exploit — #QimpsTogetherStrong:

On February 8, 2022, an attacker exploited Superfluid’s vesting contract. The hacker managed to seize and sell in the market several tokens, namely QI. The $QI stolen was vested $QI allocated to the team and early contributors.

All funds on QiDao are safe. No user funds were affected. The exploit is within Superfluid and did not affect QiDao vaults or masterchefs.

The team mission is unchanged and morale is strong. Thanks to our dedicated Qimp community and greater DeFi ecosystem for their immediate response and incredible support. A QIP will be posted soon to address this event.
