Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Tendril suffered an exploit that drained roughly $555,000 in USDT after a flaw in its custom sell hook logic was triggered. The incident underscores the auditing and secure-coding risks that come with bespoke token mechanics in DeFi. The exact chain and token details beyond USDT were not specified in the report. What to watch next: whether Tendril publishes a post-mortem, patches the hook, and whether the affected liquidity is restored or reimbursed.
