Curve Finance has put a bounty on the head of the attacker who on July 30 stole more than US$70 million from DeFi-pools.

Curve and other protocols involved in the attack offered the hacker on Aug. 3 a bug bounty of 10 percent - totaling more than US$6 million.

After accepting the offer, the hacker returned the stolen assets to View post on X. However, he did not make refunds to other affected protocols.

"We are now extending the bounty to the public and offering a reward worth 10% of the remaining exploited funds (currently $1.85 million) to the person who is able to identify the attacker," Curve said in a View post on X.

Last week, the unknown hacker knew more than $70 million steal from several of Curve's liquidity pools. As a result of this shock, Total Value Locked (TVL) fell by about 50 percent.
