YAM Finance discovered a critical bug in its YAM.sol rebase function that incorrectly calculated totalSupply, causing unintended over-minting of tokens, loss of governance control, and liquidation/removal of a large portion of the YAM/yCRV liquidity pool; the community attempted a governance fix which failed, rendering the project ungovernable and prompting plans for YAM 2.0 and stronger audit/reimbursement measures (CertiK advocates third-party audits, a decentralized security oracle, and CertiKShield).
