Yearn Finance is a suite of products in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) that provides lending aggregation, yield generation, and insurance on the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol is maintained by various independent developers and is governed by YFI holders. It started out as a passion project by Andre Cronje to automate the process of switching capital between lending platforms in search of the best yield offered, as the lending yield is a floating rate rather than fixed rate. Funds are shifted between dYdX, AAVE, and Compound automatically as interest rates change between these protocols. The service offered includes major USD tokens such as DAI, USDT, USDC, and TUSD. For example, if a user deposits DAI into yearn.finance, the user will receive yDAI token in return, which is a yield-bearing DAI token. Later on, it collaborated with Curve Finance to release a yield-bearing USD tokens pool that includes four y-tokens: yDAI, yUSDT, yUSDC and yTUSD, it is named as yUSD. Yearn Finance debuted the vault feature after its token launch, igniting a frenzy on automated yield farming and is considered the initiator of the category of yield farming aggregator. Basically, the vault will help users to claim yield farming rewards and sell it for the underlying assets. Vaults benefit users by socializing gas costs, automating the yield generation and rebalancing process, and automatically shifting capital as opportunities arise. End users also do not need to have proficient knowledge of the underlying protocols involved or DeFi, thus the Vaults represent a passive-investing strategy. It is akin to a crypto hedge fund where the aim is to increase the amount of assets that users deposited.

Yearn Finance has started the recovery process for funds that were stolen when a $9 million exploit hit its yETH stableswap pool on November 30. The DeFi protocol announced it successfully clawed back $2.39 million worth of assets, which are to be returned to affected depositors. As reported by Cryptopolitan , the exploit occurred at 21:11 UTC, and it targeted a custom version of stableswap code. Yearn Finance confirmed that its main V2 and V3 vault products weren’t affected by the incident and remain secure for users. Yearn Finance recovers $2.39 million in coordinated effort The protocol announced the recovery of 857.49 pxETH, valued at $2.39 million, through a collaborative operation with the Plume and Dinero teams. Yearn Finance stated that the process of recovery is still ongoing, and any other assets recovered will be returned to the affected depositors. The clawback operation comes just days after the initial exploit. A war room with SEAL911 and audit partner ChainSecurity remains active as the full postmortem investigation continues. The security response involves tracking the movement of stolen assets and working to prevent further losses. yETH update: With the assistance of the Plume and Dinero teams, a coordinated recovery of 857.49 pxETH ($2.39m) was performed. Recovery efforts remain active and ongoing. Any assets successfully recovered will be returned to affected depositors. https://t.co/xaClNhd0C0 — yearn (@yearnfi) December 1, 2025 The $9 million exploit breakdown Collectively, the two pools lost around $9 million. The heaviest impact was taken by the stableswap pool that was affected, which lost about $8 million. Curve also suffered, as the yETH-WETH Stableswap was drained for another $900,000. The attacker used a vulnerability that could mint a large number of yETH tokens. According to early analysis from Yearn Finance, the hacker minted about 235 trillion yETH without providing necessary collateral. By using the inflated token balance, the attacker was able to swap the unbacked yETH for legitimate liquid staking assets such as stETH, rETH, and cbETH from the stableswap pool and wrapped Ethereum from the Curve pool. Legacy pool vulnerability exposed This contract was a customized version of one of the popular stableswap codes and was independent of the rest of the Yearn Finance products. The protocol stressed that no other Yearn product uses similar code to what was compromised in the attack. The vulnerability involved an older, legacy contract related to the yETH token. That allowed the attacker to mint new tokens without the necessary collateral backing, essentially creating tokens out of thin air. Yearn Finance explained that the initial analysis places this hack at a similar level of complexity to the recent Balancer exploit . The yETH stableswap pool was not connected to the main Yearn V2 and V3 vault infrastructure, which helped isolate the hack and thus stop the exploit from spreading to its core products. Attacker launders funds through a mixer The attacker, within hours of the exploit, started to move stolen assets in order to obscure their trail. About 1,000 ETH, worth approximately $3 million, was subsequently transferred into crypto mixing service Tornado Cash. As of December 1, approximately $6 million of stolen funds remained in the attacker wallet address 0xa80d.c822. The remaining funds were comprised primarily of staked ETH derivatives that had not been laundered yet. The Yearn Finance team put out clear statements indicating that the core products of their vaults were not susceptible to the exploit. V2 and V3 vaults lie in a separate smart contract, with their codebase different from that of the affected legacy pool. Users who had funds in Yearn V2 and V3 vaults did not have to do anything. The protocol explained that the incident that occurred on November 30 affected only depositors in the particular yETH stableswap pool. November crypto security incidents The Yearn Finance hack closed out a difficult month for crypto security. November 2025 saw nearly $200 million in losses across multiple high-profile platforms and protocols. The month’s largest incident was a $134 million exploit of Balancer, caused by a rounding error in smart contract logic. South Korean exchange Upbit suffered a hot wallet compromise that resulted in losses between $30 million and $38 million. Other November incidents included a $3.1 million smart contract takeover at GANA Payment and approximately $5 million in losses at Hyperliquid from price manipulation.

Yearn Finance reported that a legacy yETH product was hit by an exploit that allowed an attacker to mint a massive amount of fake tokens and swap them for real assets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miners Face A Harsh December: Rising BTC Difficulty, Falling Hashprice According to on-chain alerts and protocol statements, the attacker created a near-infinite supply of yETH in a single transaction, then used those tokens to pull ETH and liquid-staking derivatives from liquidity pools. The incident was first flagged on November 30, 2025, and the total impact has been reported at roughly $9 million. #PeckShieldAlert Yearn Finance @yearnfi suffered an attack resulting in a total loss of ~$9M. The exploit involved minting a near-infinite number of yETH tokens, depleting the pool in a single transaction. ~1K $ETH (worth ~$3M) was sent to #TornadoCash, while the exploiter’s… pic.twitter.com/IXNygpwoWa — PeckShieldAlert (@PeckShieldAlert) December 1, 2025 How The Exploit Worked Based on reports, the attacker took advantage of a flaw in the yETH minting logic and produced tokens on the order of 235 trillion in one go. Those worthless tokens were then swapped for real assets from Balancer and Curve pools tied to the product, emptying liquidity in minutes. Chain monitors and security researchers showed the mint and subsequent swaps unfolding very quickly on the blockchain. At 21:11 UTC on Nov 30, an incident occurred involving the yETH stableswap pool that resulted in the minting of a large amount of yETH. The contract impacted is a custom version of popular stableswap code, unrelated to other Yearn products. Yearn V2/V3 vaults are not at risk. — yearn (@yearnfi) December 1, 2025 What Assets Were Taken Reports have disclosed that roughly $8 million was pulled from the main yETH stable-swap pool, while about $0.9 million was taken from a yETH–WETH pool. In addition, roughly 1,000 ETH—valued at about $3 million at the time of movement—was sent to Tornado Cash in attempts to obscure the trail. The attacker converted fake yETH into a mix of ETH and liquid staking tokens before attempting to launder funds. Impact On Yearn’s Core Products According to Yearn officials and follow-up coverage, the breach was limited to an older, legacy implementation of the yETH product and did not affect Yearn’s main V2 and V3 vaults. Deposits into the affected pool were isolated while the team and outside experts began an investigation. This isolation is said to have kept the bulk of user funds in active vaults from being touched. Market Reaction And Wider Concerns Crypto markets saw selling pressure as the news spread, with traders weighing the risk that comes from combining liquid staking tokens with custom swap code. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sentiment Sparks CZ Comment: Sell Greed, Buy Fear Yearn Finance said it is working with outside security teams to run a post-mortem and to patch the vulnerability. Based on reports, teams named in coverage include external auditors and blockchain investigators who are tracking the stolen funds and advising on recovery options.
