    ⚠️Top 10 Security Incidents (January–June 2026) 1:KelpDAO, April 18, loss of approximately $292 million. The attacker exploited a verification flaw in the LayerZero-related cross-chain bridge validation flow, released a large amount of unbacked rsETH, and rapidly supplied it to protocols including Aave, Compound, Euler, and Fluid for borrowing and cashing out, ultimately evolving into a cross-protocol bad debt contagion event. 2:Drift Protocol, April 1, loss of approximately $285 million. The attacker obtained protocol administrative control by leveraging durable nonce, social engineering, and weaknesses in multisig governance, then introduced forged collateral assets and manipulated protocol parameters to drain a large amount of real assets from the protocol. 3:Step Finance, January 31, loss of approximately $40 million. The compromise of high-privilege devices and the treasury private key system resulted in significant asset losses. On February 24, the project announced it would cease operations. 4:Humanity Protocol, June 9, loss of approximately $31 million to $36 million. The root cause was improper management of private keys and multisig keys. After compromising critical devices, the attacker took over bridge administrative privileges and carried out fund transfers and abnormal minting across multiple chains. 5:Truebit, January 8, loss of approximately $26.6 million. The attacker exploited an integer overflow/pricing logic flaw in a legacy contract to mint a large amount of TRU at low cost and dump the tokens on the market, causing the token price to collapse rapidly. 6:Resolv Labs, March 22, loss of approximately $25 million. After obtaining high-privilege signing capabilities, the attacker exploited the lack of supply caps and ratio validation in the minting logic to mint approximately 80 million unbacked USR and cash them out. 7:SwapNet, January 25, loss of approximately $13.4 million. Its closed-source contract contained arbitrary-call / approval abuse risks. The attacker leveraged users' existing approved allowances to trigger malicious transferFrom calls and drained users' assets at scale. 8:Verus-Ethereum Bridge, May 18, loss of approximately $11.58 million. The cross-chain bridge failed to strictly verify whether the source-chain input amount matched the destination-chain release amount during the validation process. The attacker exploited this flaw to forge valid payloads and withdraw assets. 9:YieldBlox, February 22, loss of approximately $10.97 million. The attacker manipulated the price of USTRY in a low-liquidity market, causing the oracle to overestimate the collateral value, and then executed excessive borrowing from the Stellar lending pool. 10:THORChain, May 15, loss of approximately $10.7 million. A newly joined node operator exploited weaknesses in the GG20 threshold signature scheme, compromised a single vault, and withdrew assets across multiple chains, exposing the systemic risks of cross-chain signing infrastructure.

    As the mitigation process continues, we want to provide clarity on an important point. We strongly advise against trading or acquiring USR at this time. Onchain data indicates that illicitly minted USR has mixed with pre-hack USR across many wallets and continues to change hands on secondary markets. USR created illicitly by the exploiter was never backed by collateral and carries no redemption rights. Any transactions at this time carry a risk of involving illicit tokens and add complexity to the recovery process. We are in the early stages of evaluating recovery options for affected holders and cannot make guarantees, but any relief that may ultimately be available could be limited by continued trading activity. We are working closely with affected protocols to develop a resolution plan and will share details when ready.

    Update on illicitly minted USR supply reduction Of the total 80M USR illicitly minted during the exploit on March 22, 2026, approx. 46M (~57%) has been permanently removed from circulation through a combination of burns and blacklisting. As a result, no illicitly minted assets remain on exploiter-associated addresses that could be further transferred or converted. Multiple steps have been taken to reduce the amount of 80M illicitly minted USR: → ~9M USR was burned across two transactions on March 22 • https://etherscan.io/tx/0xecf1f05750038b13a60a3468f716cb130199f55d34917b96d4177748b1486bd7 • https://etherscan.io/tx/0x0d30bee89dd50d59cb3ff75ffbec69bb9e173b6053864cfe71345453601f9aba → Another ~36M USR held by exploiter-associated wallets in a form of wstUSR was blacklisted. This was accomplished via a wstUSR contract upgrade, which required a 72-hour timelock initiation due to contract-level constraints. • https://etherscan.io/tx/0xa1ef88d388b29cbc3e05e89004c992c50184dd8b7c0a748a37c76e7273217313 → Remaining exploiter-held USR has been burned. • https://etherscan.io/tx/0x99c985c75e4453b0cb09b868d08510e5580f94d4c90bd3ff3d30177159dc83b1

    The Resolv USR Incident: A Cautionary Tale – And Why Disciplined Derisking Is Everything On March 22, 2026, Resolv’s USR stablecoin suffered a major incident. A single compromised offchain privileged key allowed an attacker to mint approximately 80 million unbacked USR tokens using only around $200,000 in collateral. The attacker rapidly dumped the tokens on DEXs, extracting roughly $23–25 million in real crypto and driving the price down to as low as $0.02 in some pools. The underlying collateral pool remained intact. Resolv’s statement: https://x.com/ResolvLabs/status/2035830314799599616?s=20 Unlike many past incidents, this wasn’t driven by a classic smart contract vulnerability like reentrancy or oracle manipulation. Rather, it stemmed from more fundamental design choices, particularly a single key controlling critical minting rights and autonomous systems without proper safeguards. The initial mint triggered contagion into several Morpho USDC vaults holding USR collateral. The damage was significantly amplified by Morpho’s Public Allocator, an autonomous entity that continued allocating fresh capital into failing markets instead of stepping back. Omer Goldberg’s thread offers one of the best postmortems on how the allocator behavior worsened the outcome: https://x.com/omeragoldberg/status/2035817791786221990 In response to the incident, Resolv acted quickly to pause operations and begin its investigation. In their statement, it was noted that the collateral remained safe and the issue was isolated to the issuance. Several protocols avoided exposure entirely. Aave, for instance, had zero direct impact thanks to strong risk parameters, including Hemi partner @OdysseyFi. https://x.com/DegenerateNews/status/2035634287307866230 Shoutout to Odyssey CEO @jeffthedunker and @manojpatidarr in Engineering for their excellent upfront development, thorough due diligence on yield sources, proactive monitoring, and smart, fast reaction. They kept any negative impact minimal to zero. True autonomy doesn’t mean blindly turning over critical operations to failure-prone processes. It means designing infrastructure and intelligence to work in lockstep so efficiency never becomes an insecure shortcut. Why This Matters for How We Build at Hemi Events like this reinforce why we take such a deliberate and disciplined approach to every aspect of our engineering process at Hemi. We don’t design systems where a single EOA can mint unlimited tokens, and we never will. That kind of single point of failure is exactly the risk we actively design against from day one. This is exactly why we design hard: rigorous audits, extended Testnet testing, private testing rounds after that, and then a careful, staged ramp-up of capital and liquidity. We start small, closely monitor performance, prove stability at every layer under real conditions, and only then gradually add more. Every one of these steps represents intentional, real-world derisking. Turning theoretical edge cases into proven resilience long before meaningful capital is at stake. We saw this same disciplined mindset in action with the Odyssey team. Ultimately, no one wants incidents like this to happen, but how you design ahead of time and how you react when pressure hits can make a world of difference.

    This notice is issued on behalf of Resolv Digital Assets Ltd. in relation to the Resolv protocol. Earlier today, a malicious actor gained unauthorized access to Resolv infrastructure through compromised private key, resulting in the minting of approximately $80M of uncollateralized USR. A full post-mortem is currently in progress and will be shared once completed. The incident was identified quickly, and the relevant smart contracts were promptly paused. Approximately 9M USR held by the attacker has since been burned in order to reduce the potential impact. The protocol currently holds approximately $141M in assets, with the only realized impact identified to date being approximately $0.5M in redemptions processed prior to the pause. Current USR supply consists of 102M pre-incident USR and approximately 71M newly and illicitly minted tokens. As an initial step in the recovery process, we are preparing to enable redemptions for all pre-incident USR, beginning with allowlisted users. The current target start date is 23 March 2026. Affected users should coordinate directly with RDAL through official channels. This incident resulted from unauthorized third-party actions, including a targeted infrastructure compromise and cyberattack. Resolv’s underlying collateral was not directly compromised. We are actively:  • tracing and seeking to contain illicitly minted USR and other affected assets  • coordinating with partners and counterparties  • working with law enforcement and onchain analytics firms to identify those responsible We will pursue all available avenues to recover assets and hold those responsible accountable. We strongly advise against trading USR or related Resolv tokens at this time while recovery measures are being implemented. Actions of users during post-exploit period may affect the recovery. Further updates regarding illicit USR, and RLP will be communicated in the near term.

    🧵1/ ⚠️ Exploit Analysis: $80M Loss in Resolv Labs Attack Earlier today,@ResolvLabs was exploited due to a failure in its centralized parameter validation mechanism. With just ~$200K in capital, the attacker minted 50M and 30M USR using $100K USDC each, leading to a total loss of around $80M. Following the incident, the stablecoin $USR briefly depegged to $0.051.

    Breaking: According to @ai_9684xtpa, ResolvLabs’ stablecoin USR appears to have suffered a suspected exploit after an address minted 50 million USR with only about 100k USDC, sending USR down 74.2% to $0.257 before rebounding to around $0.78. The attacker has been converting the funds and has so far purchased about $4.55 million worth of ETH. Blockchain security firm PeckShield said roughly $80 million worth of USR has been minted so far.https://x.com/ai_9684xtpa/status/2035554967076164043
