Summary

Avi Eisenberg, DeFi’s most prolific exploitooorr, got arrested last week by US authorities in Puerto Rico. He is charged with market manipulation over the Mango Markets exploit. The entire affidavit can be found here and includes details on how Avi Eisenberg operated, including KYC fraud.

Maple Finance & Pool Delegate M11 have distributed reimbursements in the form of $MPL token for the Orthogonal Trading default. Orthogonal caused the first major credit default in the unsecured lending sector. Lenders are now holding $MPL as a form of compensation for material losses in USDC and WETH.

Dopex, another major DeFi protocol on Arbitrum, has released a summary blogpost on the potential of OptionFi (aka OpFi). Among the different themes, the write-up introduces put-based lending: e.g. borrowers deposit ETH collateral and buy an ETH put option for the duration of the loan. These novel types of borrowing models are interesting and we will follow developments to update the Vesta community.
