BlockBeats News, December 30 – The IPFi platform within the Story ecosystem, Unleash Protocol, announced that its smart contract experienced unauthorized activity, resulting in the withdrawal and transfer of user funds.

Currently affected assets include WIP, USDC, WETH, stIP, and vIP. These assets were subsequently transferred to external addresses via third-party cross-chain infrastructure.
