Avici Protocol neobank users report accounts drained in apparent exploit.
Security & Exploits ·
Users of Avici Protocol, a neobank operating on MetaDAO, reported unauthorized account drains on August 28, 2026. One user, @OSACrypto1, posted that funds were transferred from their Avici card without authorization, citing a specific transaction ID and stating the transfer was never initiated by them.
The incident appears broader than a single account. @BagCalls characterized Avici Protocol as being actively drained, with funds being systematically removed. The account advised users holding balances to withdraw their assets immediately and cautioned those who had promoted the protocol in the past to review what personal information they had submitted during its know-your-customer process. The protocol had been marketed prominently in promotional channels, though @BagCalls described it as ultimately operating as a "greasy farm."
The scope of the exploit, its root cause, and the total volume of user funds affected remain unclear. No statement from Avici Protocol or MetaDAO has been documented in the available material, and it is not yet known whether the drainage resulted from a smart contract vulnerability, compromised infrastructure, or another attack vector.
