Crypto Blowup Post Mortem: Iron Finance

How it happened and what can we learn

Another *paid* post, this time on Iron Finance. While some of these blowups have been covered elsewhere historically, I think its fun to look back on it and build up a database of case studies on these meltdowns, so regular DeFi and on-chain users can learn to scope out potential red flags / issues with projects they are looking at. Today I’ll be covering the Iron Finance blowup (which isn’t super complicated), but in the future I will do more deep dives into more complex exploits / attacks.
