Liquidity pools were NOT "completely drained".
Devs are fixing the bug, scoping the size of losses (likely in the range of ~$5M), and working on recovery.

Osmosis, a decentralized exchange built using CosmosSDK, has been exploited, draining its liquidity pools for approximately $5 million.
Developers have halted the Osmosis blockchain to prevent further damage.
The decentralized exchange was stopped at roughly 10:49 pm EST today at a block height of 4,713,064, according to an announcement from Mintscan, an Osmosis block explorer.
The exploit happened just two blocks before the halt.
“Liquidity pools were NOT completely drained,” tweeted the team after discovering the exploit. “Devs are fixing the bug, scoping the size of losses (likely in the range of ~$5M), and working on recovery.”

A user on Reddit warned the Osmosis developers about the critical bug in their decentralized exchange. The Reddit thread was later removed by the Osmosis moderator.
According to the user, if you provide liquidity to liquidity pools, you would then be able to withdraw 50% more than your deposit without any bonding period (a period over which the funds are locked).
On-chain transactions show how one user repeatedly exploited this precise bug.
They began the exploit with just 26 OSMO tokens and made 13 more OSMO tokens in their first transaction.
One instance shows how they were able to provide liquidity of 101,230 OSMO (the native token of Osmosis) in a transaction made six hours ago.
Then, just 30 seconds later, the exploiter exited their position with 151,084 OSMO tokens, pocketing 50% profit.
They then repeated this process at least 30 times, each time increasing his holdings by 50%.
The wallet raked in roughly 70,000 of Cosmos' native ATOM tokens out of the process (by swapping OSMO to ATOM), which is valued at approximately $600,000. They also transferred some of their OSMO profits to another address to repeat the same process.
The user repeated the process with numerous accounts. All told, the attacker made roughly $5 million from this bug.
The total value locked (TVL) on the Osmosis blockchain dropped 1% over the past 24 hours. TVL currently stands at $212.77 million, according to data from DefiLlama.
Decentralized finance (DeFi) refers to blockchain applications that cut out middlemen from financial products and services like loans, savings, and swaps. While DeFi comes with high rewards, it also carries plenty of risks. Since just about anyone can spin up a DeFi protocol and write some smart contracts, flaws in the code are common. And in DeFi, there are many unscrupulous actors ready and able to exploit those flaws. When that happens, millions of dollars are put on the line, often with no...
OSMO is down 6.58% over the past day and trades at $1.07.
The native token hit an all-time high of $11.21 in March 2022, according to data from CoinMarketCap. It has since shed over 90% from that high in the last three months.
Vladimir Tenev, co-founder and CEO of Robinhood, has outlined the platform’s intent to list “thousands” of private companies as tokenized stocks. The statement follows controversy regarding its tokenized stocks for private firms OpenAI and SpaceX. The ChatGPT creator went so far as to publicly denounce the offering. Private companies are not publicly traded on stock exchanges. The firms typically attract investment from founders, venture capitalists, private equity firms, and also sometimes ange...
Solana launchpad Pump.fun has been the center of the meme coin ecosystem ever since it launched in January 2024. But on Sunday, LetsBonk became the first Solana launchpad to ever flip it for daily tokens created. Over the past 24 hours, according to Dune data, Pump.fun was responsible for the creation of 9,249 tokens, while LetsBonk launched 19,620. “Going over the [more than $200,000] BONK runners in the last 24 hours it seems like most are organic,” Dune dashboard creator Adam Tech tweeted. “L...
Botanix, a Bitcoin-based layer-2 blockchain, underwent its mainnet debut on Tuesday, Botanix Labs, the network’s creator, said in a press release. The network is trying to support decentralized finance, or DeFi, applications, by mixing aspects of Ethereum’s design with crypto’s oldest network. Botanix supports trading, lending, borrowing, and staking “all in Bitcoin on Bitcoin,” the firm said in a press release. Botanix, which was founded in 2023, said that its network is decentralized “from the...
