Forged IBC messages, $7 million minted from thin air. @Sagaxyz__ bridge swallowed the fiction whole.
@cosmoslabs_io traced it to Ethermint's codebase, they're now reaching out to other affected Cosmos EVM chains with short-term fixes.

Yearn Finance - one of DeFi's most audited protocols - just got drained yesterday.
Unlimited minting bug in the yETH pool.
CertiK, Trail of Bits, Quantstamp, MixBytes have all audited Yearn contracts. Plus many more.
Millions spent on security theater. And users still lost everything.
This is what nobody wants to talk about:
No audits = completely unacceptable
With audits = still not safe
So where does that leave us?
Stuck in security limbo. Pretending we're ready for mass adoption when we're clearly not.
The truth? Audits catch surface-level bugs. They're liability shields for founders, not protection for users. They check boxes so lawyers can say "we did our due diligence."
But they don't catch the sophisticated exploits. They don't prevent unlimited minting bugs. They don't stop the creativity of attackers who think in ways auditors never considered.
Real security doesn't start with an audit.
It starts with proper foundation:
🔸Safer asset structures that eliminate entire attack vectors
🔸No approval mechanisms to exploit
🔸Smart contracts designed with formal verification from day one
🔸Mathematical verifiability, not just "looks good to me"
🔸Protocol-level protections, not band-aids on broken architecture
Chains like MultiversX, Cardano, and Algorand built this in from the start. Native assets. No unlimited approvals. Security by design, not by afterthought.
Meanwhile, EVM chains keep building on the same broken foundation and slapping audits on top like that'll fix it.
It won't.
Yearn is just the latest proof. There will be more tomorrow. And next week. And next month.
Until we admit the hard truth: Web3 is still early. The infrastructure isn't ready. And pretending otherwise just puts more users at risk.
You can't audit your way out of fundamentally flawed architecture.
So stop acting like you can.
Don't skip the audit phase.
It's much more enjoyable than the 'money drained' phase.

.@Balancer fell in two quiet moves.
The first drained value into the internal ledger.
The second turned those hidden credits into real tokens.
A split attack path that stayed invisible until it was already over.
Balancer's hack appears to be a pure smart contract exploit, not a private key compromise.
More than $70M.
Balancer is one of Ethereum’s most established AMMs.
Sharing what we know:
We’re aware of a potential exploit impacting Balancer v2 pools.
Our engineering and security teams are investigating with high priority.
We’ll share verified updates and next steps as soon as we have more information.
ALERT! @Balancer and several forked projects have been attacked. Any forked projects should stay alert and monitor closely!
The losses were as follows:
Eth: balancer, 70m
Base: balancer, 3.9m
Polygon: balancer, 117k
Sonic: beets, 3.4m
Arb: balancer, 5.9m
Op: beethoven, 283k
"A well-audited protocol like Aave can become fragile the moment a fork changes a single value without simulating its long-tail behavior."

We like the vibes with which @SharwaFinance faced their recent $146k hack.
Retrieving funds and coming back stronger 🔥
Root causes are as follows: "No Chainlink oracle check. No slippage protection. No post-swap validation. Our swap amplified the attacker’s manipulation."
Internet capital markets are the future of capital markets.
So we put Solana on Wall Street, right next to the NYSE and Nasdaq.
Now open @ 35 Wall Street, NYC. 👇
