anchored·285mWW…XrZvSummary
Inverse Finance Frontier (originally called Anchor) was a variable-rate lending market on Ethereum operated by Inverse Finance DAO, founded by Nour Haridy in 2020. The protocol suffered two separate oracle manipulation exploits in 2022 — one in April resulting in $15.6 million in losses and a second in June resulting in $5.8 million in bad debt — both attributed to vulnerabilities in how Frontier priced collateral assets. The protocol is now deprecated in favor of Inverse Finance's FiRM fixed-rate market, and the DAO continues to work down residual bad debt from both incidents.
