3 of the biggest losses in DeFi history had one thing in common
NONE were smart contract exploits
the attack surface moved, but most investors still haven't caught up
just heard of a new project coming soon that addresses exactly this.
๐ MEGA BULLISH NEWS !!
The @CFTC just launched new Innovation Task Force
> dedicated to building regulatory frameworks for crypto, AI, and prediction markets
> will coordinate directly with the @SECGov's Crypto Task Force
missing a few things ๐
> dollar was already weakening before institutions started publishing gold targets
> trumpโs tariff rhetoric and fed credibility concerns were doing real work here
> the AI bubble conversation matters too: trillions sitting in nvidia, hard assets become a natural hedge
$GOLD just erased $10 TRILLION
to put that number in context ๐
> larger than the combined GDP of australia, canada, spain, south korea, indonesia and saudi arabia
> 3.6x the entire african continent
> more than every economy on earth except the us and china
numbers that donโt feel real until you line them up like that
80M $USR minted across two transactions
> token down 86% in 17 minutes
whoever controlled the โSERVICE_ROLEโ key could mint ANY amount of $USR
the attacker found that vulnerability and acted upon it
$25M WIPED OUT way before @ResolvLabs could react
really sorry for the community that got hurt by this
I see the team is working on a solution, hope they make it right going forward
Earlier today, an onchain message has been sent to the exploiter address, outlining a clear path for contact and return of funds in line with industry practices.

how 2 L1s approached token distribution ๐
hyperliquid:
> 1 billion total supply
> no vc allocation
> no public sale
> 31% airdropped to real users
> 38.8% reserved for future community rewards
> 23.8% for the team, locked for a year
monad:
> 100 billion total supply
> 19.7% to investors
> 27% to the team
> 7.5% public sale at $0.025
> community airdrop: 3.3%
same category, yet completely different token design
solana tradeoff is pretty clear ๐
> no supply cap: ~5โ6% inflation trending lower, but still dilution unless you stake
> fees are cheap: ~50% burned, but nowhere near enough to offset inflation
> validators are paid by token emissions
so security = inflation
solana optimizes for speed, cost, and UX
not scarcity
great for usage
weak as a store of value
