Summary

TempleDAO is a DeFi yield protocol launched on Ethereum in August 2021, designed to offer low-volatility, fractionally backed yields on deposited assets. On October 11, 2022, an associated staking product, STAX Finance, suffered a smart contract exploit due to missing access control on the migrateStake() function, resulting in approximately $2.34 million in stolen funds that were subsequently laundered through Tornado Cash. The core TempleDAO vaults were not directly compromised, but the team's anonymous structure and the unrecovered stolen funds remain notable risk factors.
