Episode notes

Curve Finance was hacked this week and it sent shockwaves across all of DeFi and Crypto David. There was a vulnerability in the coding language Viper that Curve used for some of its pools. $20 million was actually recovered by white hat hackers and MEV bots, interestingly enough. Michael Egorov had taken out about $110 million of stablecoin loans against his 460 million curve tokens - almost $300 million at the pre-exploit price.
