Smart-contract and DeFi vulnerabilities — oracle manipulation, reentrancy, flash-loan attacks, and governance exploits.
Binance liquidity has fallen to its lowest since 2020 while futures open interest stays elevated, a setup where the next large flow could trigger an outsized move in either direction.
Two block-production halts inside 48 hours, traced to one shared bug, but the chain's integrity held and no funds were lost. The remediation list is the part builders will read.
Roughly 16M ADA drained from 374 addresses in three days, and the path forward runs through an unaudited third-party SDK that quietly replaced the wallet's own signing code on June 8.
It's the second major outage for the Coinbase-backed Ethereum layer-2 in under a year, and the root cause still hasn't been named, putting the network's reliability thesis back under the microscope.
The invalid block stopped production at height 47806542, taking deposits, withdrawals, and client software offline before partial sequencer recovery.
The flaw sat in SecondFi's address-generation layer, so moving a seed phrase to a new wallet offers zero protection, and SlowMist's wider loss estimate is the number every ADA holder is reading now.
The same day Treasury named nine individuals and 26 entities tied to a $10B Southeast Asia scam network, a DeFi coalition went public pledging to set enforceable operational standards before…
The exploit is a KelpDAO incident, but the structural story is the $3B rotating to Chainlink's CCIP as DeFi projects dump LayerZero for cross-chain messaging.
The protocol is back online with every Asgard vault and keyshare re-verified, and native Monero swaps now in test as the next feature on the roadmap.
A single rug pull on a yield-chasing vault just stressed the narrative that wrapped tokenized T-bills around speculative leverage, and the $9B sector now has a public test case to answer for.
A flaw in Taiko bridge's source-signal proof validation is the likely root cause, per Blockaid. With block production frozen and a withdrawal advisory in place, every bridged dollar is now a…
The Layer-2's bridge proof mechanism was compromised, putting more than $1M already drained and every remaining bridged position at risk until Taiko confirms a fix.
Taiko, an Ethereum layer-2 rollup, lost roughly $1.7M to an exploit, with the attacker already moving $189K in TKO to MEXC while still sitting on $1.52M in ETH.
The bot credited with ~70% of Ethereum's sandwich attacks lost more to its own approval logic than the typical sandwich victim loses in a year — a cautionary flip for machine-speed traders on both…
The attacker converted the full haul to ETH and routed 1,000 of it through Tornado Cash within hours — a textbook MEV-operator exit and a reminder that the bots eating Ethereum's mempool aren't…
The attack exploited automated approval logic rather than a smart-contract bug — a reminder that the infrastructure built to extract MEV is itself becoming a high-value target.
The 30% exposure of AlphaUSDC Delta V2 to the frozen market turns a single collateral venue's liquidity crisis into a broader DeFi contagion test, with $8M in USDC already deployed and a…
Encrypted balances hid the shortfall for a week — the real cost is the absent monitoring layer and a $770K recovery window Axelar has declined to act on.
The swap into USDC and a centralized exchange is a classic laundering pivot — but the on-chain trail makes this one traceable, not invisible.
Binance Research said April DeFi exploits triggered roughly $13 billion in outflows, sharply compressing total value…
