UwU Lend Hack and Curve Finance Clarification:

• Michael Egorov, the founder and CEO of Curve Finance (CRV), clarified that the recent UwU Lend hack did not exploit Curve Finance itself.
  
• The hacker exploited a separate project, UwU Lend, by depositing CRVs taken from UwU into lend.curve.fi (LlamaLend) and disappearing with the funds, leaving debt in the system.
  
• Egorov recommended that UwU Lend re-verify all contracts and engage good security auditors to prevent future exploits.
  

[*]Misinformation About CRV Token Burn:

• Initially, there was misinformation about Curve Finance proposing to burn 10% of CRV tokens (worth $37 million) to stabilize the token’s price and increase annual percentage yield (APY) for voters.
  
• Egorov clarified that this information originated from a fake account and was accompanied by a scam link. Few journalists published the news without fact-checking.
  

[*]Bad Debt Repayment:

• Egorov announced that he fully repaid the $10 million in bad debt resulting from soft liquidations triggered by the UwU exploit.
  
• CRVs posted as collateral for loans accounted for approximately 30% of the circulating supply, and half of that was on Curve. The debt has been settled, and no one is affected.
