” Crema Finance shuts liquidity protocol on Solana amid hack investigation “
Soon after realizing the hack on its protocol, Crema Finance suspended the liquidity services to refrain the hacker from draining out its liquidity reserves — which include the funds of the service provider and investors.
Attention! Our protocol seems to have just experienced a hacking. We temporarily suspended the program and are investigating it. Updates will be shared here ASAP.

While the company is yet to provide an update based on an investigation that was ongoing at the time of writing, the Crypto Twitter community took it to themselves to track down the hacker’s wallet and gain a better understanding of the situation.
Based on a personal investigation, crypto community member @HarveyMackinto2 allegedly spotted the hacker’s wallet address. The address in question holds 69,422.89 Solana (SOL) tokens — roughly over $2.3 million, procured through a series of transactions over several hours.
Other members of the crypto community, however, suspect the hacker made away with 90% of the total liquidity from some of Crema Finance’s pools. Henry Du, the co-founder of Crema Finance, too, confirmed that all the functions of the protocol have been suspended indefinitely and asked investors to stay tuned for further information in the form of an update.
Readers must note that Crema Finance is not related to Cream Finance, a decentralized finance DeFi lending protocol, that also lost $19 million in a flash loan hack last year. Crema Finance has not yet responded to Cointelegraph’s request for comment.
