Antonio Juliano, the creator of the decentralized exchange protocol dYdX, recently shed light on an insurance fund incident. He specified that it occurred on the v3 chain, not the dYdX Chain, resulting in a loss of $9 million for the platform.

Juliano pointed out that the v3 chain, unlike the dYdX Chain, has central elements that may have been vulnerable to the exploit. This attack was focused on the YFI token's long positions, causing a dramatic 43% drop in price and leading to nearly $38 million in liquidations.
Juliano has firmly stated that dYdX is not entering into negotiations with the attackers. Instead, the platform is offering rewards to community members who contribute to the ongoing investigation.

Additionally, Juliano noted that significant progress has been made in pinpointing the perpetrator, and this information has been forwarded to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
