Representatives of the protocol have confirmed the incident and announced the suspension of smart contracts.

In addition, the project team has also burned DEI tokens on affiliated chains in order to prevent further damage.

Project representatives have said:

"Users are advised to remain patient and not interact with current DEI contracts until a concrete redemption plan is available."
