Forensic narrative

The New Free Dao project on the BSC chain suffered a flash loan attack. According to SlowMist analysis, the main reason for this attack is that the way of calculating rewards in the contract is too simple, and it only depends on the balance of the caller, which leads to arbitrage by flash loans. Attack method (per SlowMist): Contract Vulnerability. Reported loss: 4,481 WBNB.
