# Stablecoin

{% hint style="info" %}
**The DEUS stablecoin is currently under development and is set for launch in Q1 2024.** DEUS assembled a new team, led by [Mazett, a newly onboarded TradFi wizard. ](https://medium.com/deus-finance/steering-an-algo-stable-flywheel-d88f842aa367)This dedicated group is focused on re-designing and re-launching a stablecoin under the renowned DEUS brand.
{% endhint %}

Since its formation in 2019, the DEUS team has navigated the blockchain space with a clear vision. Their primary goal was formulating a decentralized and permissionless derivatives system, which should seamlessly coexist alongside a in-house [scalable, decentralized, and censorship-resistant stablecoin.](https://stablecoins.wtf/resources/the-stablecoin-trillema)  These two objectives, though aligned in spirit, presented unique challenges and complexities. As with any endeavor in the ever-shifting terrain of blockchain technology. Recognizing the distinct challenges of each path, the DEUS team made a[ strategic decision in August.](https://medium.com/deus-finance/early-symm-migration-announcement-144e51baf36f)  To bifurcate their efforts, focusing separately on the development of the stablecoin and the derivatives infrastructure, ensuring dedicated attention and expertise for both.

#### Restructuring and Reinventing

In the span of the project, the stablecoin development faced a critical security breach, as well as economical weaknesses. These incidents were unfortunate reminders of the need for constant vigilance and adaptive technology in the realm of decentralized projects.&#x20;

To face these challenges head-on and ensure that the core vision remains undeterred, the DEUS team initiated a comprehensive redesign and redevelopment of their stablecoin concept. Not only about revisiting the technological foundation, but also about introspection and rebuilding the very team that's driving this dream forward.

Recognizing the need for Q/A expertise beyond just blockchain technology, the DEUS team on-boarded an economics specialist with a seasoned background in traditional finance (TradFi) and restructuring. This infusion of cross-domain expertise is expected to fortify the project's approach and integrate best practices from both decentralized and traditional financial worlds.

#### Initial Thoughts by Our New Expert

As we move forward with the restructuring and redesigning phases, our newly hired expert has already begun contributing his insights to steer the project in the right direction. For those interested in understanding his perspective and approach, we recommend reading his article:&#x20;

This link provides a deep dive into his preliminary thoughts and strategies that are likely to shape the future course of the DEUS stablecoin project.

#### In Conclusion

While challenges and setbacks can deter many, they serve as fuel for rejuvenation for the DEUS team. We remain resolute in our quest to build a decentralized, censorship resistant and scaleable stablecoin, learning from our experiences.

# Reimbursement Process

Step-by-Step Guide

## CLAIMS ARE LIVE ON ARBITRUM:

Reimbursement claim for DEI incident of 5th may:

<https://app.dei.finance/dei-incident>

### Introduction

Following the DEI incident on May 5, 2023, we're now entering the final phase of the reimbursement process for our users. This GitBook page is a comprehensive guide to help you understand the reimbursement process, specifically for users who held DEI or LPs with DEI before the incident.

*Please note*: This short-term reimbursement plan does not cover users who purchased DEI after the incident. They will be considered under a long-term reimbursement plan.

### Calculation of Reimbursable Amount

The reimbursable amount is calculated based on the DEI and USDC (or any non-DEI asset paired with DEI) you held before the incident, minus any USDC withdrawn or DEI sold.

Here's the formula:

`userDEIbefore + userUSDCbefore - userUSDCamountWithdrawn - userDEISold = reimbursableAmount`

### Reimbursement Options

Users have two options:

1. USDC Reimbursement: Paid out in USDC. This option carries a more significant 'haircut' due to DEI being only 90% backed.
2. DEI Reissued Reimbursement: Paid out in the newly launched DEI, expected in Q4. The 'haircut' for this option is less than the USDC reimbursement.

An illustration for the reimbursement process can be:

`Suppose you have a 10,000 reimbursable amount, with a hypothetical haircutUSDCAmount value of 0.65. If you decide to take 40% in USDC now, redeeming 4000 of your reimbursable amount, which leaves you with 6000. You would then receive 2600 USDC now (4000 * 0.65) and receive 1400 in bDEI (the balance of your claimed amount), and 6000 as reimbursableAmount for claiming later.`

*Please note*: The 65% haircut for USDC is hypothetical. The actual haircut values will be released soon.

### bonded DEI (bDEI)

We are introducing bDEI as a representation of the debt still owed, given there was a difference of your reimburseable amount and the amount you could claim, because of the 'haircut percentage' that is calculated based on \
`recoveredUSDC  divided by totalReimburseableAmount`

These bDEI can be migrated to SYMM/DEUS ([ANN-1](https://medium.com/deus-finance/deus-future-vision-independent-pathways-for-innovation-d572115974c7), [ANN-2](https://lafayettetabor.medium.com/early-symm-migration-announcement-144e51baf36f)) read more here [SYMM / DEUSmigration](/contracts/reimbursement-guide/long-term-reimbursement-plan/symm-deusmigration)

### Claiming Your Reimbursement

We are currently preparing a website where you can check your values and claim your reimbursement. It's expected to go live by the end of this week.

The current haircut values are as follows:

* NOW: 60.25% USDC / 39.75% bDEI&#x20;
* LATER\_90(90% newDEI) 67% newDEI / 32% bDEI&#x20;
* LATER\_85(85% newDEI) 71% newDEI / 28% bDEI

After a thorough review of all snapshots, we're confident the reimbursement amount will be at least 60% in USDC or 71% in newly launched DEI for each DEI or USDC/USDT/etc. held prior to the incident.

Please note, you can claim your reimbursement once the website is live. If we recover more USDC in the future, you will be able to claim your share later.

### For DEI/DEUS LPs

If you held DEI/DEUS LPs before the incident, you would receive reimbursement based on the DEI and you would get all the DEUS in your LP immediatly.

For example: If you had 10k DEI (10k USDC) + 166 DEUS (10k USDC) in your LP before the incident, you would get either 60% USDC + 40% bDEI if you claim now, or 71% new DEI + 29% bDEI if you wait for DEI relaunch for the DEI you had and you would get 166 DEUS immediatly for the DEUS in your LP.

### Support

We've set up a [Discord channel](https://discord.gg/deus) for the discussion and refinement of the reimbursement process. Feel free to join and raise any questions or concerns.

Your trust in Deus remains our top priority, and we're dedicated to making this process as fair, transparent, and convenient as possible. We thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this process.

Best Regards, Lafayette

# Long-Term Reimbursement Plan

For anyone holding bDEI


# SYMM / DEUSmigration

## TL:DR (SYMM/DEUS migration) <a href="#id-9b33" id="id-9b33"></a>

* The bDEI to DEUS ratio is 185/1&#x20;
* The DEUS to SYMM ratio can be viewed live here: [app.deus.finance/migration](https://app.deus.finance/migration)
* DEUS will be liquid once migration period ends.&#x20;
* SYMM has a 4 months cliff than 12 months vest.

## &#x20;<a href="#id-9b33" id="id-9b33"></a>

## &#x20;<a href="#id-9b33" id="id-9b33"></a>

## Abstract (SYMM migration) <a href="#id-9b33" id="id-9b33"></a>

* SYMMIO ($SYMM) has a capped supply of 880m tokens.
* 85% of the total supply (748m) is for user migration, and 15% is for farming incentives.
* Of this 748m:\
  \- All DEUS ecosystem tokens migrated to SYMM equally share 680m $SYMM linearly unlocking over one year from TGE; and\
  \- Early migrated DEUS ecosystem tokens to SYMM additionally equally share 68m unlocked at TGE, a valuable non-inflationary incentive to migrate early.\
  \- The 15% farming will be deployed over 4 years from TGE.

## Moving forward, retaining the value, and allowing stakeholders a free choice. <a href="#id-697d" id="id-697d"></a>

### ***Non-inflationary incentives*** <a href="#id-2bd3" id="id-2bd3"></a>

We have designed our whole tokenomics and incentives as non-inflationary.

* After the Token Generation Event (TGE), vesting will ensure the high profitability of unlocked tokens — unlocked tokens get all SYMM revenues.
* We additionally want to incentivize early migration by granting early migrators with all initial liquidity — 10% of SYMM locked supply, that is, 68m SYMM.

### *T**he value of early liquidity*** <a href="#id-5605" id="id-5605"></a>

Having tokens available at launch rather than vested is very profitable early — if they stake them, they will earn all early-stage SYMM profits. They can also resell them after launch when interest in SYMM spikes.

Whatever the fraction of early migrators, we expect this 10% liquid “bonus” to be worth much more than the DEUS staking rewards lost by migrating early.

### ***Benefits for SYMM and DEUS teams, projects, and holders*** <a href="#cc59" id="cc59"></a>

Early migration is one of the tools that will help us approximate the relative interest for the SYMM and DEUS projects in the community.

Early migration also benefits each project separately:

* The Symm project will benefit from early support and commitments & more liquidity will be available at TGE therefore early migrators too!
* The Deus holders will benefit as well from a lower Deus supply. Firstly, early migrators reduce the need for inflationary xDeus rewards. Secondly, a lower Deus supply increases the boosting power of veNFTs.

Overall, we expect our migration plan to impact the projects positively during the migration phase.

### *T**he bonus mechanics and calculations*** <a href="#id-6c00" id="id-6c00"></a>

Early migration is now open. Please note that KAVA and AVAX chains are not yet added and that the migrator will remain open for 30 days after these chains are added. Any deposit done now until the closing of the 30-day window is considered early; any deposit after that date is considered late.

Early migrators get the 10% early SYMM liquidity as a “bonus” relative to late migrators.

Denote f is the fraction of early migrators. Early migrators get a 10% / f liquidity bonus on top of their vesting tokens:

* if all migrators migrate early, they get a 10% early liquidity bonus
* if 50% migrate early and 50% late, they get a 20% early liquidity bonus
* if only 10% migrate early, they get a 100% early liquidity bonus

For instance, if 40k DEUS migrate early and 40k DEUS migrate late:

* each migrated DEUS gets 680M/(40k+40k)= 8.5k vesting SYMM
* early DEUS migrated early gets 68M/40k = 1.7k unlocked SYMM at TGE

See detailed formulas in Appendix.

### **Token Migration ratios** <a href="#id-36f0" id="id-36f0"></a>

The migration process has been designed to be as straightforward as possible for all users. As part of this process, all balances will be converted to DEUS before being converted to SYMM.

The migration includes the following conversions

1. xDEUS to DEUS
2. LegacyDEI to DEUS
3. bDEI to DEUS

> please note that only legacyDEI and bDEI\
> obtained prior to 7th june can be used to migrate & migration for fantom based legacyDEI and bDEI is mandatory.
>
> bDEI obtained on arbitrum can also migrate at the same rate. (reimbursed bDEI from 5th may DEI Incident here: <https://app.dei.finance/dei-incident>)

#### With the following token exchange ratios, taken as June 7th-July 5th price averages:

1. xDEUS tokens: Each xDEUS token will be swapped for one DEUS token at a 1:1 ratio.
2. LegacyDEI tokens: LegacyDEI tokens will be swapped for DEUS tokens at a rate of 217 LegacyDEI per DEUS token.
3. bDEI tokens: Appreciating the bDEI holders, we propose a 15% bonus on the swap rate. Thus, bDEI will be swapped at 185 bDEI per DEUS token.

> please note that we will use snapshot data from your wallet to define your bDEI / legacyDEI stake. bDEI-legacyDEI LPs will be counted as bDEI.\
> It’s not recommended to buy bDEI later to get a better ratio.\
> the improved ratio for bDEI holders is those who are affected by the original legacyDEI depeg. If you were affected and held LP we will count your LP as bDEI.

The combined DEUS tokens will then be converted to SYMM or returned as DEUS.

The DEUS to SYMM ratio will depend on the number of migrated DEUS.

For example, if 100,000 DEUS migrate in total, and 680M SYMM + 68M SYMM early migrator bonus SYMM are available for distribution, the conversion ratio would be 6,800 SYMM per DEUS locked and 680 SYMM unlocked at TGE, a total of 7480 SYMM per DEUS.

Conversely, if 200,000 DEUS were to migrate, the conversion ratio would decrease to 3,400 SYMM per DEUS locked, and 340 SYMM per DEUS unlocked at TGE, a total of 3,740 SYMM per DEUS and so forth.

This methodology has been previously discussed in detail.

### **Appendix: Detailed formulas** <a href="#id-8b68" id="id-8b68"></a>

(1) vesting\_symm\_per\_deus = 680m / total\_deus\_migrated

Every single Deus migrated transforms into the same number of vested Symm at TGE.

(2) user\_vesting\_symm = 680m / total\_deus\_mirgated \* user\_deus\_migrated.

So each user’s vesting Symm at TGE is (2) = (1) \* user\_deus\_migrated

(3) liquid\_bonus\_on\_early\_migrated\_deus = user\_unlocked\_symm / user\_vesting\_symm = 10% / fraction\_migrate (early / total) = 10% \* total\_deus\_migrated / early\_deus\_migrated

liquid\_bonus\_on\_late\_migrated\_deus = 0

Each user gets the same liquid bonus per early migrated Deus and none per late migrated Deus.

(4) The most essential info for the early migration ui is the early migration bonus. During the early migration phase, it can only be estimated depending on assumptions for total migration.

The most optimistic early migrator bonus is estimated by assuming ALL DEUS is eventually late migrated. The most realistic is estimated by assuming the share of DEUS migrated approximates answers to a poll to be conducted on the Deus channel next week

* Max\_liquid\_bonus\_% = 10% \* total\_deus\_supply / current\_early\_deus\_migrated
* Max\_liquid\_bonus\_% = 10% \* poll\_migrate\_ratio \* total\_deus\_supply / current\_early\_deus\_migrated

(5) Details:

* total\_deus\_migrated = early\_migrate + late\_migrate

Early migrators that use the “do as the average user” option are counted in as early


# bonded DEI (bDEI)

What You Need to Know

## TL:DR&#x20;

## bDEI migration as described here: [SYMM / DEUSmigration](/contracts/reimbursement-guide/long-term-reimbursement-plan/symm-deusmigration#36f0)

bDEI tokens are able migrate to DEUS and SYMM at a TWAP ratio. This migration is accessible via <https://app.deus.finance/migration>.

Please note, if no additional USDC can be retrieved through law enforcement actions or exploiter negotiations, all bDEI will be automatically migrated to DEUS at the end of the waiting/migration period. It's important to underline that only DEUS or SYMM, not bDEI, can receive protocol profits.

You can learn more about the benefits of migrating early in the provided link #bdei. This process has been designed to offer our token holders the best potential returns and a streamlined token ecosystem.

## Reasoning for a unified token system

The following Gitbook section is dedicated to illustrating why this migration to a simplified single token system stands as a beneficial move.&#x20;

We dissect the complexities surrounding bDEI, outline the strategic choices at hand, and argue for the superiority of a consolidated ecosystem under the DEUS or SYMM umbrella. As we delve into this comprehensive analysis, we aim to provide clarity and guide our community through this significant transition.<br>

## Demystifying the bDEI Token and how it can repay debt.

\
The recent DEI incident led to users receiving bDEI tokens, representing their debt within the protocol. bDEI tokens currently have no liquidity, and achieving liquidity for bDEI will likely pose substantial future challenges. Given this scenario, users are left with three primary options.

1. Hold onto their bDEI tokens with hopes of recovering more USDC. (Short term next 4-6 months)
2. Migrate their bDEI tokens to DEUS or SYMM to profit from protocol revenue and market speculation.
3. ~~Await repayment of bDEI through future protocol revenues.  (long term next 6 - open months)~~

{% hint style="info" %}
Option 3 will not be possible anymore, and this gitbook section is meant to explain the reasoning why
{% endhint %}

However, the latter option introduces complexities and potential drawbacks that we will elucidate here. It is crucial to understand why we have opted against repaying bDEI with future protocol revenues, which may seem like a viable option at first glance.

Even if bDEI, DEUS, and SYMM were treated separately in terms of repayment, there would be an inherent dilution effect across all token types.&#x20;

This is because the amount repaid to bDEI holders would need to be a function of the total bDEI supply versus DEUS to maintain fairness. This model implies that bDEI holders would not receive their repayment any sooner than they would by holding DEUS or SYMM tokens.

One might argue that DEUS holders should receive no repayments until all bDEI debts are settled. However, this approach would threaten the sustainability of the entire project, leading to a situation where no one, neither DEUS nor bDEI holders, receives any profits.

#### This classic prisoner's dilemma showcases the complexity of the situation.

<br>

To navigate this dilemma, we propose consolidating a single token system for SYMM and DEUS that can absorb all the revenue, ensure the highest liquidity within the ecosystem, and can be sold by any participant at their convenience, whether at a haircut, break-even point, or profit. If bDEI and DEUS were to compete for liquidity, it would ultimately diminish the total liquidity within the system.

By promoting a unified token system, we foster a natural market that can pave the way for bDEI holders to receive their repayment. This strategy offers a pragmatic approach to managing the post-incident fallout, allowing for flexibility, profitability, and the potential for bDEI holders to recover their investments.

<br>

## Evaluating Options: A Comparative Analysis of bDEI and the Potential Shift to DEUS or SYMM

The proposed idea leaves us with two major strategic options, each with advantages and potential drawbacks.

<br>

Maintaining the debt token separately as bDEI: This approach encompasses the following characteristics and implications:

* Very little liquidity for debt holders
* Repayment structures rely on protocol profits.
* Speculation around the bDEI price, albeit with low liquidity, could lead to volatile price movements.
* A complex ecosystem token system could deter potential new users and limit scalability.

Swapping the debt token bDEI into DEUS or SYMM: This approach offers the following advantages:

* High liquidity for debt holders
* Repayment structures rely on protocol profits.
* Speculation around the DEUS or SYMM price could drive up the price of the tokens and enhance repayment abilities.
* A simple ecosystem token system, which is user-friendly and can attract new users, further increasing liquidity and token value.

\
When these two options are compared, it becomes evident that migrating bDEI to SYMM or DEUS offers a more beneficial and strategic choice than maintaining bDEI as a separate debt token. The benefits of higher liquidity, equal profit payout structures, the potential for profit from price speculation around DEUS or SYMM, and an overall simpler ecosystem, all serve to strengthen the case for this migration.

Notably, this simpler ecosystem can make it easier for new users to enter, enhancing the overall liquidity and robustness of the system and assisting in the repayment of any obligations. Consequently, this strategy aligns with our mission to provide an accessible, transparent, and rewarding financial ecosystem to our community.

<br>

<br>

## Title: The Restructuring Approach: A Discussion on Pricing and Token Liquidity

\
In addressing the issue of debt repayment within the protocol, we adopt a classic restructuring model: pay less now, pay more later.&#x20;

As the protocol currently lacks excess reserves to repay the debt 1:1, fostering a healthier financial ecosystem is necessary before repayment can commence.

**The question then arises as to why we offer bDEI holders a price of $185 per DEUS rather than the current price.**&#x20;

<br>

### Reasoning&#x20;

If we were to swap bDEI to DEUS at a 1:1 ratio immediately, we would likely trigger a rush to sell, which could destabilize the protocol. Early sellers might break even in such a scenario, but late sellers could hold the bag. This model fails as it inadvertently transforms debtors into immediate sellers to receive their repayment.

\
Instead, we effectively defer selling into the future by offering DEUS a haircut. While some might consider selling at a haircut, many will wait until the price reaches a certain level.&#x20;

This approach results in each bDEI migrator having its unique price target to sell, creating a free market operation that is not forced. This natural, market-driven process proves more beneficial for all stakeholders involved.

A final point to consider is the direct correlation between the DEUS and SYMM price and their ability to generate yield. The yield generated results in a protocol surplus that can repay DEUS holders' obligations. Whether a DEUS holder bought at $1000 and now faces a loss or has been affected by the DEI incident, every user has a specific yield and price target in mind.

In essence, these elements are directly correlated. If the protocol fails to generate yield to repay its losses, there will not be any price increase. Therefore, by holding bDEI in hopes of future profits, users are betting on the price of the underlying token (DEUS or SYMM) to rise. If no yield is generated, the token's price will not increase.&#x20;

Suppose users do not believe that DEUS can reach $185 per token. In that case, they also communicate that they do not anticipate the protocol to generate any protocol profits to repay bDEI as a whole.

We hope this correlation makes sense.

Thus, holding bDEI and waiting for protocol profits or migrating to DEUS are essentially the same. Similarly, migrating at a higher price is identical to waiting for protocol profits to repay bDEI.&#x20;

The only change lies in the token users hold. At the same time, they wait, and we hope everyone agrees that simplicity is essential and that having to decide between a complex system and a simple system is essentially achieving the same thing.&#x20;

Choosing the more straightforward system is always the wiser choice.

\
Conclusion:
-----------

As communicated previously, in the original split medium post

<https://medium.com/deus-finance/deus-future-vision-independent-pathways-for-innovation-d572115974c7>

## **bDEI as well as legacyDEI on all chains will cease to exist**&#x20;

**in about six months if no more USDC can be recouped.**

The essence of this change lies in its ability to simplify our token ecosystem, thus enhancing liquidity, user engagement, and the protocol's overall resilience. Regardless of holding bDEI or migrating to DEUS or SYMM, the anticipation of returns is tied to the protocol's ability to generate yield and maintain a healthy ecosystem.


# Users Who Purchased DEI

During the May 5 Incident

## Reimburse cost basis

#### As detailed in our past announcements, The DEUS team has pledged to reimburse the cost basis for those users who purchased DEI during this incident.&#x20;

## Reasoning&#x20;

#### to reimburse those who tried to profit from the Incident

As the nature of the exploit was such that it prevented us from divulging specific details, to deter potential copycat attempts. We are aware that our communication during this period may have appeared unclear to some, despite our repeated advisories not to interact with the contracts. Therefore, we consistently conveyed our intent to compensate the cost basis for all affected users, barring a few exceptions.

## Exclusions

Those who capitalized on the incident, those who exploited the flaws in the DEI contract, and those demonstrating malicious intent will be exempted from this reimbursement scheme. While we choose not to disclose the complete specifics of our investigative process, we thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

## how exactly will the long-term reimbursement work?

The DEUS team calculated your cost basis, subtracted any profits made, and will grant one bDEI for each USD of the adjusted cost basis. A more comprehensive explanation of how bDEI operates and how it can be utilized to offset debt is available in a specific section of our Gitbook. We highly recommend that you read it for a thorough understanding.

\
What can someone do with his bDEI?
----------------------------------

The option to retain your bDEI in anticipation of a potential recovery of additional USDC. Alternatively, users can migrate their holdings to SYMM or DEUS, thereby making it liquid and sellable but also eligible to earn protocol profits in the future. More details on this process are elaborated upon in a subsequent section of the Gitbook. [SYMM / DEUSmigration](/contracts/reimbursement-guide/long-term-reimbursement-plan/symm-deusmigration)

An explanation to why bDEI should be migrated and cannot earn protocol profits as bDEI is detailed here [bonded DEI (bDEI)](/contracts/reimbursement-guide/long-term-reimbursement-plan/bonded-dei-bdei)

# DEI - Depeg

Summary of the ongoing research and development around the DEI depeg on 5th of may 2023


# Incident - Analytic Summary

## Incident Analysis

### Incident

On 5th May at approximately 19:52 Berlin Time, the DEUS Finance project and its DEI token listed on the Chronos Exchange on the Arbitrum platform experienced a significant security breach due to a bug in the DEI token implementation. An unknown attacker exploited the implementation and stole all funds from the underlying Liquidity Pool. Amidst the turmoil, numerous users bought, sold, and transferred their DEI tokens, exacerbating the situation. The projected loss for users of the DEUS Finance platform currently stands at approximately -5,838,827.80.

More details [here.](/contracts/reimbursement-guide/dei-depeg)

### &#x20;Exploiter Profile

\
We postulate that the initial attack was a hurried and inadequately prepared exploit. The evidence that led us to this assumption includes the attacker's rushed development, as evidenced by an MEV bot front-running them on BSC. Interestingly, the attacker removed USDC from the pool but redeposited DEI back into the pool. This allowed participants to purchase DEI for cents and transfer it to other LP pools.

If the attacker had allocated more time for planning, they could have simultaneously targeted all LP pools across all chains. Moreover, they could have been the first to exhaust all bridge funds for movement to Fantom. However, their rushed actions created massive arbitrage opportunities for other participants rather than capitalizing on them themselves.

These actions resulted in losses for DEI holders. However, the losses didn't benefit the initial attacker, which leads us to believe that the attack was more of a quick and dirty solution. We conjecture that the attacker opted for a rushed approach, likely fearing that someone else might discover the bug or that his main target was causing maximum damage.

More about the [attack itself](broken://pages/rUOMJC5AmyEu6U6I6WDu).

### Impact Assessment

The full extent of the damage is yet to be determined. However, as of the recent estimates, full recovery for LPs is estimated at 70%, restoring DEI to its total value, backing at 90% as before.&#x20;

More about the [recovery.](broken://pages/2PWdIXskWgSBK3Se4kpz#recovering-funds)

### Technical Analysis

The technical cause of the exploit is tied to implementing a self-written permissionless `burnFrom` function within the DEI token contract. The DEI team had previously decided to implement the Lossless ERC20 contract, which created an issue when trying to implement a `burnFrom` due to LERC20's lack of a `_spendAllowance` function.&#x20;

As a result, the DEI team implemented a custom-written burnable function, which led to the exploit.

### Recovery Plan

The DEI team is working on a recovery plan, which includes thoroughly assessing the damage and restoring balances for DEI holders and LPs. In the mid-term, the team is looking at internal & external structural changes to ensure that such an incident do not occur again in the future.

A detailed recovery plan will be released in the upcoming weeks [here.](/contracts/reimbursement-guide/dei-depeg/incident-analytic-summary/reimbursement-plan)

### Moving forward

* Future Preventative Measures Lessons Learned.
* Proposed Changes in security processes

[Here](/contracts/reimbursement-guide/dei-depeg/incident-analytic-summary/moving-forward), we will formulate a strategic evaluation and blueprint designed to preempt and mitigate such errors in future operations.

# Summary

**This section of the Gitbook is currently being updated, as the DEUS team is actively involved in fund recovery and capturing snapshots of user balances to prepare for the return of the reclaimed funds. At present, the recovery rate for**&#x20;

**We are currently estimating a recovery of 71%. (including all LPs across all chains)**

**Example with recovery values above: someone held 10000 $ as 5,000 DEI and 5,000 USDC he will be getting 5,000 fully backed DEI + 2100 USDC back = 71% recovered**<br>

{% hint style="info" %}
Current calculations show that 71% of the total LP value could be recovered. Please wait until the full recovery plan is announced before coming to conclusions about recovered funds and how they will be returned.

Please also note that the comprehensive reimbursement snapshot hasn't been completed, and final figures may vary. This Gitbook will continually be updated with the most recent data as it becomes available.

### Incident

On 5th May at approximately 19:52 Berlin Time, the DEUS Finance project and its DEI token listed on the Chronos Exchange on the Arbitrum platform experienced a significant security breach due to a bug in the DEI token implementation. An unknown attacker exploited the implementation and stole all funds from the underlying Liquidity Pool. Amidst the turmoil, numerous users bought, sold, and transferred their DEI tokens, exacerbating the situation. The projected loss for users of the DEUS Finance platform currently stands at approximately 10 million.

### Recovering funds

The team opened communication channels with the attacker through on-chain messages, recovering 4 million in stablecoins from the initial 5m lost.

Other whitehats helped to rescue and return funds, in total 1.5m USDC.

{% embed url="<https://twitter.com/DeusDao/status/1655631556554391552>" %}

We have completed the selling of Ethereum (ETH) that was recovered from the initial attacker on Arbitrum. These actions have resulted in substantial recoupment of assets, as detailed below: ![1️⃣](https://discord.com/assets/68546f5fc3b2166f42cf90b7e23c5ae9.svg) On arbitrum, we have recovered 4,913,198 USDC, currently held in the following address: `0xb80cf3af288f24d6eee35183eda1564bfeeb874a`.&#x20;

On BSC, we secured 1,070,127 DAI, held at this address: `0x7f5ae1dc8d2b5d599409c57978d21cf596d37996`.&#x20;

Holdings from the USDC depeg in the multi-signature wallet (msig), with the address `0x5b598261c2a8a9b2fb564ff26be93b79a87e554d`.&#x20;

The holdings are as follows: 1,955,000 DAI 1,161,000 USDT 450,000 USDD 200 USDC&#x20;

On Fantom (FTM), the PoolUSDC holds 2,466,698 at these address: `0x6e0098a8c651f7a6a9510b270cd02c858c344d94`

In summary, we have successfully solidified our liquid assets position. Considering all the transactions mentioned earlier and holdings, our total liquid assets as DEI backing currently stand at **12,016,223.**&#x20;

<br>

### Key Events and Findings:

1. 5th May, 19:52 Berlin Time. - Initial detection of unauthorized activity within the Chronos Exchange. An unknown attacker exploits a bug in the DEI token implementation, stealing all funds from the Liquidity Pool.
2. On 5th May, shortly after the attack - the DEUS team was notified of the issue and reacted to identify the root cause and stop the attack, involving whitehats and creating a war room. However, panic ensues as users buy, sell, and move their DEI tokens, further damaging others.
3. 5th May, late-night - The DEUS team contacts Circle and the Arbitrum Foundation to discuss freezing the hacker's funds without success. The hacker swaps his stolen USDC into wETH potentially to protect himself from Circle freezing his account. The DEUS team freezes all contracts and whitehats abusing the exploit to burn DEI from all users directly, removing their balances.
4. 6th May - DEUS team collaborates with Chainalysis, an intelligence agency specializing in cryptocurrency-related crime cases, to create a case report and open a criminal case.
5. 7th May - Another message is being sent to the main attacker to motivate him to communicate, and an official case report with the police is being filed.
6. 7th May - Initial attacker responded to the team's message and successfully returned 2023 ETH to the team that was swapped into USDC, and brought the total recovered funds to 12,734,935.84.
7. 8th May & still ongoing, the DEUS team has been laboring tirelessly to reinstate DEI balances. The unique nature of the attack presented whitehats with opportunities to halt the hack by taking advantage of the exploitable `burnFrom` implementation to eradicate and burn all user balances, thereby mitigating the potential for further damage. \
   \
   However, this proactive measure has resulted in the restoration of balances being an enormous task, likely to take at least two weeks or potentially longer. We are currently dedicating most of DEUS' resources to this task and will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.


# Attack Details

### Attack Details:

**By exploiting the DEI token implementation bug, the attacker could manipulate allowances, transfer DEI out of the pair, and swap it for a significant amount of USDC.**&#x20;

The series of events led to the massive security breach and loss of user funds on the Chronos Exchange on the Arbitrum platform, as well as on all other exchanges on which the DEI token was listed.

An in-depth examination of the attack can be found by analyzing the following Arbitrum transaction: <https://explorer.phalcon.xyz/tx/arbitrum/0xb1141785b7b94eb37c39c37f0272744c6e79ca1517529fec3f4af59d4c3c37ef?line=25>

#### Here is a simplified explanation of the attacker's method and steps taken:

1. First, the attacker takes advantage of the bug in the DEI token implementation, which allows them to increase the allowance for any DEI holder. Consequently, the attacker can move any $DEI funds.

#### Step 1: The attacker calls DEI.burnFrom(spender = sAMM Pair, amount = 0).

The burnFrom implementation involves the approve implementation, where \_approve(sAMM, attacker, currentAllowance) is called. That allowed the attacker to spend any 'currentAllowance' from the sAMM Pair.

Link to the source code:\
<https://bscscan.com/address/0x1472b3081d81b792e697aea90accbbc4adc5baf9#code#F5#L308>

`_allowances[_msgSender()][account]`&#x20;

should be&#x20;

`_allowances[account][msgSender()]`

### The exploitable burnFrom function:

{% code fullWidth="true" %}

```
    function burnFrom(address account, uint256 amount) public virtual {
        uint256 currentAllowance = _allowances[_msgSender()][account];
        _approve(account, _msgSender(), currentAllowance - amount);
        _burn(account, amount);
    }
```

{% endcode %}

### The related \_approve function:

{% code lineNumbers="true" fullWidth="true" %}

```
function _approve( 
address owner, 
address spender, 
uint256 amount 
) internal virtual { 
_allowances[owner][spender] = amount; 
emit Approval(owner, spender, amount); 
}
```

{% endcode %}

### Step 2: The attacker abuses the broken `burnFrom` to increase his allowance & `transferFrom` all DEI out of the pair.

<figure><img src="/files/mgNuaqobvbjrQfe9EJew" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Step 3: The attacker calls sAMM.sync()&#x20;

which recalculates the reserves based on the token balances.&#x20;

After calling `sync`,&#x20;

DEI `reserve0` is 1,&#x20;

USDC `reserve1` is 5,047,470,472,573.

<figure><img src="/files/uCNt2vB44E07MGu34Ntu" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Step 4:

* The attacker calls swap() and trades the difference. Now, 0 DEI is worth 5 million USDC.

Call swap() and trade the difference; 0 DEI is worth 5M USDC now.

<figure><img src="/files/9bRCeyR8djW8MjY0WZax" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="/files/x0RZKUc8hCiv6wwtL4pz" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Step 5: The attacker transfers DEI back&#x20;

This step allowed for massive further damages.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/DLvYjdJo6K2Q1ImKNuTY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This step allows for massive, massive further damages.&#x20;

Attackers' accrued profits of approximately $5 million, yet the consequential damages far exceed this figure, estimated to be between $8-10 million based on our current analysis. (before recovering funds, check recovery [here](/contracts/reimbursement-guide/dei-depeg#recovering-funds))

Based on this step, we conjecture that the attacker opted for a rushed approach, likely fearing that someone else might discover the bug or that his main target was causing maximum damage.

# Bug Bounty

### Rewards by Threat Level

Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on the [Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2.2](https://immunefi.com/immunefi-vulnerability-severity-classification-system-v2-2/)&#x20;

This is a simplified 5-level scale, with separate scales for websites/apps and smart contracts/blockchains, encompassing everything from the consequence of exploitation to privilege required to likelihood of a successful exploit.

## **Introduction:**

DEUS DAO is committed to maintaining robust security within its Smart Contract system. As part of this commitment, we have instituted a bounty program to reward those who identify and responsibly disclose vulnerabilities. The program is categorized into different reward tiers, reflecting the severity and potential economic impact of the discovered bugs.

**Eligibility and Requirements:**

1. **Proof of Concept (PoC):** All bug reports should include a runnable PoC and a suggestion for a fix. Mere explanations and statements will be accepted if a PoC can be produced together with the team.
2. **Previously Discovered Bugs:** If a bug report covers an issue that has already been identified, it will not be eligible for the program. In such cases, DEUS DAO will provide proof that the issue is already known.

**Reward Tiers:**

1. **Critical Level:**

   * $100,000 or up to 10% of the (potential) economic damage on contracts with more funds locked than 1 million USD.
   * The 10% rule also applies to funds already removed without authorization from respective contracts. In such cases, 90% of the funds must be immediately returned, and 10% can be kept as a Whitehat bounty reward.
   * The 10% rule can also be claimed as a general bug bounty on contracts above $1m TVL, by providing a PoC or by assisting the team in creating a PoC.

The 10% rule only applies for contracts that are live, and have a TVL more than $1M\ <br>

1. **High Level:**
   * $50,000 or up to 10% of the (potential) economic damage.
   * The 10% rule, as outlined in the Critical Level section, also applies.
2. **Medium Level:**
   * USD $5,000 Payout.
   * Runnable PoC required.
3. **Low Level:**
   * USD $1,000 Payout.
   * Runnable PoC required.
