Real-world case study

Forecasting the Terra Luna collapse

FinanceDue diligence
Challenge

At the peak of Terra Luna’s rise, with over $8B in total value locked, a fund approached us. They were considering allocating a significant portion of their capital to the protocol and needed a clear, objective assessment of the technical risks.

Result

Our due diligence uncovered critical architectural flaws and systemic vulnerabilities, and we advised against investment. Four months later Terra Luna collapsed and billions were wiped out. The client avoided exposure and strengthened their risk model.
