@Evan Blair the thing about curve pool is that, it is designed to maintain the peg between participants by the help of arb bots. But here the attacker/exploiter (like to call this as a social exploit) just outrightly sold his $UST big bag in order to take out other stables out of the pool. this creates vaccum and thus depeg. In short they targeted onchain depeggin first, pushing the LFG to further withdraw from the pool. the whole situation is a mess.
I've been busy with the analytics tool, so won't be able to dedicate time to the discord yet. Also don't want to be chatting ab projects I like and then they go down another -80% from here. So a mixture of waiting for the environment to improve and don't currently have the time to be active in the discord.

Absolutely wild article. Wish I understood more about how algo stables keep their peg and the pools. Guess I better start reading
Hey! Great read! What do you mean by the curve liquidity was drained? How was this achieved?
Basically selling $UST for USDC/USDT/DAI
