The lending platform Scallop, built on the Sui blockchain, has been hacked. The attackers drained approximately 150,000 SUI from the rewards pool.

✅ INCIDENT UPDATE

We have unfrozen the core contracts and all operations have resumed. The issue was not related to the core protocol and was isolated to a deprecated rewards contract.

User deposits were not impacted and all funds remain safe. Withdrawals and deposits are now…

The project team reported that the vulnerability was in a side smart contract that was no longer in use. The main protocol and user deposits were unaffected.

Developers temporarily paused the platform to conduct a security check. After some time, Scallop resumed normal operations, allowing users to deposit and withdraw assets without issues.

Project representatives promised to fully compensate for the losses, covering 100% of the damages from their own funds. The team is continuing its investigation and has pledged to release a detailed report later.

As of the time of writing, Scallop's total value locked stands at $22.82 million.
