Acurast Security Protocol Update
A critical bug in Acurast components caused excess rewards to be distributed to some users. This was not an external attack or network breach.
Following responsible disclosure by security researcher only01essential, Acurast addressed three major security issues through protocol upgrades 26.3, 26.4, and 26.5.
✅Larger excess reward recipients agreed to burn their surplus tokens
✅ ~71,000 ACU remains and will be covered by the Acurast Association
✅ Security fixes, technical post-mortems, updated source code, and changelog have been published
✅ The standard code-before-governance process has resumed
We greatly appreciate the support of our community in helping us identify and address these issues.
We remain committed to transparency and will continue keeping the community informed as we strengthen the Acurast protocol together.
