Wasabi Protocol exploited for more than $5 million The Wasabi Protocol defi derivatives platform has been exploited for more than $5 million across multiple blockchains. The attack has been attributed by blockchain security firms to a compromised admin key, which allowed the attacker to upgrade contracts to steal assets.

I guess because it's decentralized over AT protocol in a way that appeals to the defi people even though it's not a blockchain based network.

Popular defi protocol websites replaced with wallet drainers amid mass Squarespace domain hijacking

July 11, 2024
https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=squarespace-domain-hijacking
Popular defi protocol websites replaced with wallet drainers amid mass Squarespace domain hijacking Websites providing the frontends for some popular defi services, including Compound Finance, were compromised and replaced with wallet drainers: websites resembling the usual frontend, but which drain unsuspecting users' wallets when used. Somewhat ironically, the "Unstoppable Domains" web3 domain service was also impacted, and their site was offline for a while before they regained control. The hijacking appears to be thanks to an attack on Squarespace's domain registry. Crypto founder Bobby Ong has suggested that the attack is affecting domains acquired through Google Domains, which sold its business to Squarespace several months ago. "Tthe forced migration of domains to Squarespace removed 2FA causing all these domains to be vulnerable and several have been hijacked," he wrote. "Best thing to do is to not interact with crypto and rest for the next couple of days until everything is r Web2 is going just great!

Nemo Protocol exploited for $2.4 million

Nemo Protocol exploited for $2.4 million The Nemo Protocol on the Sui blockchain suffered a $2.4 million exploit. The defi yield infrastructure protocol acknowledged the theft shortly after, explaining they had paused the protocol smart contracts as they investigated the theft. It appears the thief was able to manipulate a price oracle, siphoning $2.4 million in USDC from the project. They then bridged the funds from Arbitrum to Ethereum.

Solv Protocol exploited for $2.7 million The Solv Protocol bitcoin defi lending and staking platform disclosed an exploit that they said affected fewer than ten users, but nevertheless netted the attacker 38 SolvBTC (a wrapped bitcoin token priced at $2.7 million). Although Solv has not disclosed specifics of the attack, some researchers have suggested it was a bug in the protocol's burn and mint functionality.

Cork Protocol exploited for $12 million

May 28, 2025
https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=cork-protocol-hack
Cork Protocol exploited for $12 million Cork Protocol, a defi project aimed at "tokenizing the risk of depeg events for stablecoins and liquid (re)staking tokens", suffered a $12 million loss after an attacker exploited a bug in how the project's smart contract calculated exchange rates. The attacker stole around 3,762 wrapped staked ETH (wstETH), which they exchanged for ETH. The project announced that they were investigating the theft and had paused markets. Cork had been audited in whole or in part by four different security firms. The project's funders include Andreessen Horowitz, OrangeDAO, and Steakhouse Financial, and Cork is a part of Andreessen Horowitz's Crypto Startup Accelerator.

Farcaster and Lens Protocol creators both announced this week that their protocols are being “acquired/transitioning”. Both projects failed to ever find meaningful adoption outside the DeFi, crypto, degen communities and ultimately morphed into casinos.

ATmosphere reigns supreme.

Farcaster selling out to Neynar, who did API services on Farcaster.

Neynar seem like decent guys who will have a good understanding of what "open" means. The first test will whether they open-source the client.
Farcaster post by @dwr: Neynar is acquiring Farcaster. Over the next few weeks, we’ll transfer ownership of the protocol contracts and code repositories, the Farcaster app, and Clanker to Neynar. They will run and maintain everything going forward. Some members of the Merkle team, Varun, and I will step back from day-to-day work on Farcaster and move on to something new. Rish, Manan, and the rest of the Neynar team have been building on Farcaster from the start. Neynar was one of the first Farcaster clients, and its infrastructure now powers much of the developer ecosystem. We think they are the right people to take over leadership of Farcaster and they’ll share their new builder-focused vision soon. This wasn’t an easy decision. Farcaster and the people building on it mean a lot to us. We’re proud of what our team built, and what the community built alongside us. But after five years, it’s clear Farcaster needs a new approach and leadership to reach its full potential. We’re excited to see what Farcaster becomes under Neynar, and we’re looking forward to this next chapter.

UwU Lend re-enables protocol after hack, immediately gets hacked again

https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=uwu-lend-hack-2
UwU Lend re-enables protocol after hack, immediately gets hacked again After suffering a $20 million loss in a June 10 hack, the UwU Lend defi lending protocol has now seen another $3.7 million in suspicious outflows only days later. Although UwU Lend paused the protocol after the attack, they re-enabled it on June 12, claiming to have identified and resolved the vulnerability. This apparently wasn't the case, given the same attacker quickly repeated their exploit. UwU Lend was created by Michael Patryn, aka Omar Dhanani, aka "0xSifu", who has been behind several cryptocurrency projects that have suffered major exploits. This is not exactly helping concerns among some observers that perhaps Sifu is the common denominator in these suspicious losses.

$6 million taken from Delta Prime defi protocol

September 16, 2024
https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=delta-prime-exploit
$6 million taken from Delta Prime defi protocol The DeltaPrime defi protocol suffered a $6 million loss after a private key was leaked. Access to the private key allowed the attacker to mint 1.1×1069 DPUSDC, which are tokens that allow holders to redeem the USDC stablecoin at a 1:1 ratio. They repeated the mint with several other deposit receipt tokens for bitcoin, ether, and other cryptocurrencies. Altogether, they redeemed a small fraction of these enormous quantities of deposit receipts, amounting to around $6 million in assets. DeltaPrime acknowledged the attack on Twitter, and announced that "the risk is contained". They also stated that they were "looking into other ways to reduce user losses to a minimum", including by pulling from the protocol's insurance pool.

Trumps “crypto project technically isn’t even a token or coin.

It’s a pre sale voucher on a defi lending protocol- that looks like crypto- but really isn’t. There’s no off ramp, unless you’re an insider.

It literally doesn’t get any worse than this. 🤣

https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=uwu-lend-hack
UwU Lend suffers almost $20 million hack The defi lending protocol UwU Lend was hacked for around $20 million. After various blockchain security firms observed suspicious outflows of funds, the protocol acknowledged there had been a "situation" on their Twitter account, and wrote that they had paused the protocol while they were investigating. UwU Lend was founded by Michael Patryn, aka Omar Dhanani, aka "0xSifu" — a co-founder of the ill-fated QuadrigaCX exchange and ex-con. He also pseudonymously ran the defi cryptocurrency project Wonderland until his identity was revealed after the protocol suffered a meltdown.

Volo Protocol exploited for $3.5 million, most recovered The Sui-based Volo Protocol defi yield platform was exploited for around $3.5 million after an attacker targeted three vaults holding wBTC, XAUm (a tokenized gold asset), and the USDC stablecoin. Volo says they have frozen or recovered all but around $60,000. They have also said they are "prepared to absorb this loss", rather than passing losses along to their users.

The Trumps control about 40% of World Liberty Financial, per the small print on its website.

If the payouts were in proportion to the ownership shares (which was not necessarily the case), the Trumps would have pocketed ~$20 million.

Moonwell lending protocol suffers $1.78 million loss after second oracle misconfiguration in four months

February 15, 2026
https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=moonwell-exploit
Moonwell lending protocol suffers $1.78 million loss after second oracle misconfiguration in four months After an oracle misconfiguration, the Moonwell defi lending protocol accumulated $1.78 million in bad debt. When the protocol showed that cbETH was priced at just over a dollar, rather than its actual market price of around $2,200, bots and humans alike rushed to take advantage of the mispricing. The error cascaded into liquidations across the platform. This is the second time Moonwell has suffered a loss thanks to an oracle misconfiguration. In November 2025, the platform was left with almost $3.7 million in bad debt after a different asset was mispriced. Although the vulnerable pull requests were at least partially developed by an AI tool, the security auditor who initially attributed the vulnerability to Claude Opus 4.6 later softened his criticism, noting that even senior developers could have made the same mistake. He did, however, criticize the project for a lack of sufficiently rigorous testing that should have caught the issue.
