The Abracadabra team responded to the incident. According to them, we are talking about the exploit of "several" Ethereum pools or "boilers", as they are called in the project.

Magic Internet Money (MIM), a stablecoin pegged to the dollar, fell by almost 16% at the moment.

Against the background of the project's statement about the intention of the DAO Treasury to buy back and burn MIM as much as possible to restore the peg,the asset price almost returned to par.

We are aware of an exploit involving certain cauldrons on Ethereum.

Our engineering team is triaging and investigating the situation.

To the best of its Ability, the DAO treasury will be buying back MIM from the market to then burn.

More updates are coming.
