The network has explained that the $223 million exploit of Cetus Protocol stemmed from a bug in Cetus’s custom math library – Not a flaw in the Sui blockchain or the Move programming language. The team further acknowledged that the user impact reflects on the broader network.
Importantly, they have reassured that the allocation of these funds will be shaped collaboratively with the developer community – An effort towards shared accountability and long-term resilience for dApp builders.
