Key points

  • A third exploit transaction drained roughly 549,916 X tokens from a Uniswap liquidity pool 1.
  • The attacker also extracted 1,909 USDT and routed all assets to a newly designated beneficiary address 1.
  • Following the transfer, the targeted Uniswap pool held less than 200 USDT in remaining liquidity 1.

A third exploit transaction targeting the X100 protocol has siphoned approximately 549,916 $X tokens from a Uniswap decentralized liquidity pool 1. The incident also extracted 1,909 $USDT 1.

According to incident data reported on Oct. 24, a different transaction sender routed the extracted funds directly to a new beneficiary address 1. The transaction left the targeted liquidity pool with a remaining balance of less than 200 USDT 1. The incident follows two earlier exploits targeting X100 liquidity infrastructure, marking continued unauthorized extraction of assets from related liquidity pools 1.

Pool Depletion and Market Environment

The extraction left minimal stablecoin liquidity remaining in the targeted pair, which held less than 200 USDT following the transfer 1. The incident follows broader decentralized exchange and cross-chain security challenges across decentralized finance, where malicious actors repeatedly extract reserves from decentralized automated market maker pools 1.

At the time of writing, $UNI traded at $6.57, down 7.3% over the prior 24 hours, while Tether's $USDT maintained its peg at $0.9987. No formal recovery timeline, contract pause, or remediation plan had been published at the time of publication 1.
