What happened
On December 4, 2024, Vestra DAO's staking contract was exploited less than a month after launch when the unStake() function failed to validate whether a position was still active. The attacker repeatedly extracted rewards from already-unstaked positions, stealing 73.7 million VSTR tokens (~$500K).
