DGLD Smart Contract Vulnerability: $250.00K Reported Loss

·Historical incident record

Incident Overview

DGLD (Swiss physical gold-backed tokenized asset) was exploited due to a legacy edge case in the Ethereum contract’s transferFrom behavior. Attackers minted large amounts of unbacked fake DGLD on Base and dumped them on DEXes. The team promptly paused contracts, froze illicit tokens, and contained the incident. Physical gold was never at risk, all pre-exploit holders retained their backed tokens, with ~$250k economic impact mostly borne by the project.
