Methodology
TVL: The Yala Protocol allows users to lock Bitcoin as collateral to mint YU stablecoins. TVL is calculated by tracking the total supply of YBTC tokens (0x27A70B9F8073efE5A02998D5Cc64aCdc9e0Ba589), which represents Bitcoin locked in the protocol. The borrowed/stablecoin metric tracks the total supply of YU tokens (0xE868084cf08F3c3db11f4B73a95473762d9463f7), which represents the USD-pegged stablecoins minted against the Bitcoin collateralView code on GitHubFees: Includes protocol fees from stability pool operations and YU token distributions on Ethereum. Fees consist of stability pool rewards and protocol fees collected by fee receivers in YU tokens.View code on GitHubRevenue: Revenue comes from YU token distributions to fee receiver addresses on Ethereum.View code on GitHubHolders Revenue: View code on GitHubHacks

Amount: $7.64m
Classification: Key Compromise
Technique: Deployer Key Compromised
During Yala's deployment of its Solana Layer Zero OFT bridge, attackers compromised temporary deployment keys. They used this access to create unauthorized bridge contracts and establish a backdoor for later exploitation. Over a month later, the attacker deployed this infrastructure to mint 120M unauthorized $YU tokens and extract $7.64M in real value. Thai authorities arrested the attacker approximately 45 days after the exploit, and most funds were clawed back.
