DeFi Exploits 2026 - $137M+ Already Lost Since January, hackers have drained over $137M across 15 protocols - and only $9M has been recovered. The attack vectors tell a familiar story: compromised private keys, smart contract bugs, oracle manipulation, and reentrancy. The same vulnerabilities that have plagued DeFi for years are still finding victims. Top 10 protocols by funds lost are: • Step Finance - $27.3M • Truebit - $26.2M • Resolv - $25M • SwapNet - $13.4M • YieldBlox DAO - $10.97M • Saga - $7M • Makina - $5M • IoTeX - $4.4M • Aperture - $3.7M • Venus – $3.7M What stands out is how preventable most of these were. Compromised private keys are an operational security failure, not a protocol flaw. Oracle manipulation and reentrancy attacks have known defences. Yet they keep working. As new protocols launch without proper audits, the attack surface only expands. $137M in under 3 months is a pace that, if sustained, would make 2026 one of the worst years on record for DeFi security. 🔗x.com/cipherresearchx/status/2035702242498785511 Top 7 Ecosystem:Alpha | X | Telegram

Resolv Labs exploited – Attacker minted $80M in USR stablecoin Resolv has experienced an exploit – the attacker used roughly $100-200k in USDC to mint 80M $USR stablecoin, about 50M in one transaction and another 30M shortly after. That is a 400x to 500x over-mint. The newly minted tokens were dumped across DEXs, including Curve, KyberSwap, and Velodrome. The total extracted value landed somewhere around $25M, limited mainly by available DEX liquidity and slippage. The attacker’s wallet is being tracked by PeckShield, Cyvers, D2 Finance, and community researchers. A significant portion of the extracted value has already been converted to ETH. • Resolv has paused all protocol functions • Protocol’s TVL went down $144M$ to $118M • $RESOLV token price dumped by 10-15% Great research from Defiprime🔗defiprime.com/resolv-usr-exploit Top 7 Ecosystem:Alpha | X | Telegram
