Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Grim Finance has been hacked by unknown attackers, the project's developers have reported. As a result of the attack, the hackers have stolen $30 million in cryptocurrencies.

The hackers have gained access to the project's wallet through a malicious token in a smart contract. It is still unknown what kind of token we are talking about. In fact, the attackers have carried out a "re-entry" exploit, which allows the forgery of additional deposits in the contract. All wallets in the protocol are reportedly at risk.

Grim Finance is a smart yield optimizer platform built on the Fantom Opera blockchain.
