Maya Protocol hit pause after a hacker exploited six hidden code flaws, siphoning $1.7M in crypto—mostly Bitcoin—by manipulating a liquidity pool with their own token. Founder AaluxxMyth confirmed losses of ~20 BTC ($1.4M) plus $300K in other assets, revealing bugs that had lurked undetected for 3-4 years despite audits. The team is now racing to recover funds through Aztec Chain and other methods while rebuilding security, vowing to make cross-chain swaps safer—even as the network remains offline until vulnerabilities are ironed out.
