Explore This Case Further On Our Wiki

Sonne Finance is a decentralized lending protocol operating on Optimism and Base. Similar to platforms like Compound Finance and AAVE, Sonne allows users to lend assets, use them as collateral, and borrow against them. After a devastating attack, the protocol released a tweet with an update, but no refunds were available. A scammer created an account with high similarity to the original Sonne Finance account, linking to a website promising refunds. Users who connected their wallets would most likely find them drained.
