The $257K dTRINITY Loss and How Olympix Would Have Prevented It

On March 17, 2026, an attacker drained $257K from dTRINITY's dLEND by inflating the liquidity index of a sparsely populated cbBTC reserve. We break down the two-transaction exploit, the broken collateral invariant at its root, and show how Olympix flagged the exact vulnerability with a reproducing PoC. This is the class of bug Olympix is purpose-built to catch before it ships, and this case is proof it works.
