According to an official statement from the Acala Network project, an issue has occurred with Honzon, the stablecoin management protocol AUSD, affecting the price of this stablecoin.
According to information from Wu Blockchain, the attacker “printed” more than 1.2 billion AUSD. This caused the AUSD to drop more than 70%.
