Децентрализованная биржа Bunni закрылась после кражи $8,4 млн и потери средств для перезапуска Translation: Headline: Decentralized Exchange Bunni Shuts Down After $8.4 Million Heist and Loss of Funds for Relaunch

The team behind the decentralized exchange Bunni has announced its closure. This decision was prompted by a hacking incident resulting in a loss of $8.4 million, leaving the project without sufficient funds for a safe relaunch.

The attacker exploited a rounding error in the withdrawal function of the smart contract. The stolen assets were laundered through the mixer Tornado Cash.

The team is collaborating with law enforcement and has offered the hacker a 10% reward for the return of the remaining funds.

Bunni representatives clarified that resuming operations would require six- or seven-figure sums just for audits and monitoring, which the project does not possess. Furthermore, it would take months to restore operations, an unacceptable delay for the team.

They assured users that they can continue to withdraw assets from the platform until further notice. Any remaining funds in the treasury will be distributed among holders of the BUNNI, LIT, and veBUNNI tokens based on a snapshot following a legal review. The project team will not be involved in the distribution process.

Despite the closure, the developers have changed the license of the V2 smart contracts from Business Source License to MIT. This move enables others to utilize the project’s developments, including liquidity distribution features, dynamic fees, and autonomous rebalancing mechanisms.

Recall that in May, the DeFi platform Alpaca Finance, which previously held leading positions in the BNB Chain ecosystem, announced its full cessation of operations by December 2025.

In June, the team behind the L2 protocol zkLend, based on Starknet, announced its closure due to hacking incidents and the delisting of the LEND token from major exchanges.
