Saturn, the new token issuance protocol, was exploited on the BNB chain, which resulted in a loss of 14.16 BNB, worth approximately $8,343. The protocol would reportedly burn and sync the asset amount before any prior token transfers, which led to a price manipulation attack that caused their SATURN/WBNB pool to be entirely empty. Attack method (per SlowMist): Price Manipulation. Reported loss: $ 8,343.
