Abstract generation in progress

According to Cipher statistics, from the beginning of 2026 to date (only the first three months), the total stolen funds in the DeFi sector have reached $137.7 million. The top three projects with the highest losses are Step Finance in the Solana ecosystem (loss of $27.3 million due to private key leaks), Truebit on Ethereum (loss of $26.2 million due to smart contract vulnerabilities), and Resolv (loss of over $25 million due to minting bugs). Data shows that the main methods of hacker attacks still focus on private key compromises, smart contract flaws, and oracle manipulations. Although Makina recently recovered $3.1 million, bringing the total recovered amount to about $12.1 million, the current quarter’s recovery rate remains below 10%.
