On October 14, 2026, an attacker exploited a vulnerability in UNCX Network's shared token-locking pool on Ethereum, stealing $86,000 in a single transaction. The exploit involved manipulating lock positions by unlocking a large position, transferring tokens, and then canceling and withdrawing assets from the pool. Security firm Blockaid identified the breach, revealing that a bookkeeping flaw allowed the attacker to withdraw tokens belonging to other users. Approximately $3.25 million remains in the affected smart contract, raising concerns about the security of shared vesting pools. The incident highlights significant vulnerabilities in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms that utilize shared token-locking mechanisms. Recovery efforts and the exact assets taken are still unclear. UNCX has restricted new vesting positions as investigations continue.
