Abstract generation in progress
Security company Blockaid said it detected an attack on Arbitrum’s RWA perpetual trading protocol Ostium Vault. The attacker used a pre-registered PriceUpKeep Forwarder and Oracle reports authorized for future dates to fabricate trading profits, triggering a vault reimbursement of about 18 million USDC. The relevant attack transactions and addresses have been made public, and the incident is still under further investigation. Ostium is a protocol focused on perpetual contract trading of real-world assets (RWA) such as stocks, commodities, and foreign exchange, with total funding of about $28 million. Investors include General Catalyst, Jump Crypto, Coinbase Ventures, Wintermute, and GSR, among others.

As soon as the RWA track caught fire, it was targeted—Oracles have become the new target.

Perpetual futures + RWA sounds really sexy, but timestamp manipulation is the old trick again.
