Summer.fi said it will begin a phased shutdown after concluding it has no viable path to continue operating in the wake of the July 6 attack on the Lazy Summer protocol, according to ChainCatcher. The exploit caused losses of about $6.1 million. Summer.fi added that a meaningful share of the team's own assets was also held in the compromised vaults, further constraining funds available for recovery efforts. The company said the Summer.fi app will remain available through Aug. 31. Decisions on the future of the Lazy Summer protocol will be made by the Lazy Summer DAO, which is working to restore withdrawal and redemption functions across all vaults, including the two previously impacted.
