Curve Finance Announces $1.85 Million Reward for Information Leading to Hacker’s Identification.
Curve Finance, a well-known DeFi initiative, is taking steps to locate the individual responsible for siphoning over $61 million from its pools on July 30. Although the hacker returned a portion of the stolen assets to the projects Alchemix and JPEGd after being offered a 10% bug bounty, Curve Finance is now presenting a public bounty of $1.85 million to anyone who can correctly identify the exploiter and facilitate legal action unless the funds are fully returned.
The hacker exploited vulnerable versions of the Vyper programming language to carry out reentrancy attacks on specific stable pools, leading to significant losses for the project. While some stolen cryptocurrency was returned to two projects, the other affected pools did not receive any reimbursement.
Curve Finance had established a deadline for the voluntary return of the stolen assets, which has since elapsed. In light of this, they have publicly announced the bounty and are offering a reward amounting to 10% of the remaining exploited funds (currently estimated at USD 1.85 million) to the individual who can identify the hacker in a manner that results in a legal conviction.

The DeFi protocol clarified that they would refrain from pursuing legal action if the exploiter returns the funds in full, indicating a preference for a peaceful resolution. The complete message regarding the bounty was also disseminated on X (formerly Twitter), increasing awareness of the initiative.
The DeFi sector continues to encounter security challenges, and projects are increasingly prioritizing the protection of their users’ assets and the integrity of the ecosystem. By offering a significant bounty, Curve Finance seeks to encourage individuals to provide information that could help identify and hold the exploiter accountable for their actions.
As the situation develops, the DeFi community will closely observe the events, hoping for the identification of the hacker and the recovery of the remaining stolen assets. This incident highlights the necessity of strong security measures within the DeFi industry and the ongoing need to combat malicious actors.
