A vulnerability in an outdated Rain card contract drained approximately $1.1 million from several Solana-based programs, including $500,800 from 1,685 Avici users. The exploit also sent Avici’s AVICI token down as much as 49%.

Avici token falls after Solana contract exploit

AVICI, a self-custodial neobank that lets users spend cryptocurrency through a Visa-integrated credit card, dropped from a 24-hour high of $0.43 to a record low of $0.217. The token later recovered to approximately $0.378 at the time of writing.

Avici said the attack was limited to a Solana contract holding funds after customers topped up their cards. Its self-custodial wallets on Solana and Ethereum-compatible networks were not affected. The company said it would refund every affected card balance.

Tria reports more than $430,000 in user losses

Tria, another crypto neobank, said 636 users were affected, with total losses exceeding $430,000. The company pledged to repay users in full, although its token fell by more than 10% at one point.

Rain said its monitoring systems detected the vulnerability in an outdated contract version used by Avici and a small number of other programs. The company upgraded every program running that version and reported no further unauthorized activity.
