Nostra's lending platform on Starknet was exploited when an attacker manipulated the oracle price feed for NSTR, inflating the collateral value. This allowed the attacker to borrow about $3.5 million in various cryptocurrencies including Ethereum, USDC, and Wrapped Bitcoin. The attacker also bridged roughly $1.92 million to Ethereum. In response, Nostra has paused all lending, borrowing, withdrawals, and liquidations while investigating. This incident adds to a growing wave of crypto exploits, with losses reaching $1.1 billion in the first half of 2026 alone, highlighting ongoing security challenges in decentralized finance.
The recent $3.5 million Oracle attack on Nostra's lending platform underscores ongoing risks in decentralized finance.
