<p>DeFi project <a href="https://x.com/pendle_fi/status/1831168623634993402" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pendle has secured around $105 million in funds</a> following a hack of the ecosystem’s yield optimizer Penpie. In a postmortem report, Pendle explained that a quick contract pause prevented further breaches.</p>   
<p>The project stressed that normal operations have been restored and reassured users that their funds are safe. The security breach stemmed from a unique feature that allows permissionless listings, which the attacker exploited.</p>

<p>In response, <a href="https://x.com/Penpiexyz_io/status/1831157212963598555" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Penpie</a> paused its protocol and was willing to negotiate with the hacker, offering security, no legal action, and bounty rewards in exchange for cooperation.</p>
