💀 A Major Hack is a "Death Sentence" for 80% of Crypto Projects
According to Immunefi, nearly 80% of crypto protocols shut down following a major attack. But the most striking part isn't the lost funds—it's the reason why they fail.
Why do projects collapse?
Immunefi CEO Mitchell Amador argues it’s not just about the money. The real killers are managerial chaos and the total loss of trust.
🚩 Common mistakes during a breach:
The Stupor: Teams often freeze, wasting the first (and most critical) hours arguing instead of executing an emergency plan.The Silence: Fear of reputational damage leads to a communication blackout, which only fuels community panic.The Human Layer: Hackers have shifted focus from smart contract bugs to "human errors"—phishing, compromised keys, and AI-driven social engineering.
The Brutal Stats:
In 2025, stolen funds reached $3.4 billion—a peak since 2022. Just three major incidents, including the $1.46B Bybit exploit, accounted for 69% of all losses.
Is there a silver lining?
Experts predict 2026 will be the strongest year for smart contract security due to advanced audits and real-time firewalls. However, tech alone won't save a project that lacks a crisis response plan.
🛡 Investor Takeaway: When DYORing, look beyond the APY. Check if the project has a transparent security roadmap and insurance. Code can be patched, but broken trust is rarely recovered.
Do you think a protocol can ever truly recover after a nine-figure hack? Let’s discuss below! 👇

Death Sentence for Web3: Why 80% of Projects Disappear After Hacking?
At the beginning of 2026, the crypto industry faced harsh statistics: nearly 80% of crypto projects that experienced a serious hack never recover their positions. This was stated by Mitchell Amador, the CEO of Immunefi. But it's not just the loss of money that is to blame.
The main reason is 'response paralysis'
The main reason is 'response paralysis'
"Web3 Security Crisis: Most Hacked Crypto Projects Never Recover"
Singapore, January 18 – The stark reality of Web3 security was brought into sharp focus today by Mitchell Amador, CEO of Web3 security platform Immunefi. Amador revealed a sobering statistic: a staggering 80% of crypto projects that suffer significant hacking incidents never fully recover. His remarks underscore a critical lack of preparedness and awareness within the decentralized finance (DeFi) and broader Web3 ecosystem.
Amador pointed out that many protocols are dangerously unaware of their security vulnerabilities, leading to a profound unreadiness for major security breaches. He stressed that the immediate aftermath of a hack—the first few hours—is often the most damaging period. Without a robust, pre-defined incident response plan, project teams frequently falter, wasting precious time debating actions, and critically underestimating the escalating impact of the breach. This crucial window is where further financial hemorrhage could be prevented.
A significant hurdle to effective recovery, according to Amador, is the reluctance of project teams to promptly pause smart contracts due to fears of reputational damage. This hesitation, coupled with ineffective communication strategies, often exacerbates user panic rather than containing it. The Immunefi CEO concluded that the primary cause for the high failure rate among hacked projects isn't just the initial financial loss, but rather the complete breakdown of operational integrity and user trust during the chaotic incident response process.
This highlights an urgent need for Web3 projects to prioritize comprehensive security audits, establish clear incident response protocols, and foster transparent communication channels with their communities to build resilience against ever-evolving cyber threats.

80% of crypto projects that were hacked... they never return!
This is not random talk... this is an official statement from Mitchell Amador, the CEO of Immunefi (the largest bug bounty platform in Web3).
He said that close to 80% of projects that experience a major hack never return to their full stature.
Why?
Not just because of the initial financial loss...
The real reason: loss of trust + operational paralysis during the attack.
Silence or delay in response increases panic, investors flee, liquidity disappears, and the token collapses permanently.
In 2025, losses from attacks exceeded $3.4 billion, and the recovery rate is very weak.
The harsh lesson:
- Choose projects with strong security and a clean history.
- If an exploit occurs, a quick and transparent response can save the project (but in 4 out of 5 cases... it's over).

It's been a long time since I participated in a new listing on CoinList, and it's been a long time since I've seen a new listing with 100% TGE unlock. I'm preparing to participate in a wave at dawn.
Price: $0.01337
Crowdfunding amount: 374 million tokens (3.74% of the total), 100% TGE unlock
Crowdfunding amount: 5 million USD
FDV: 133.7 million USD
Then I took a brief look at the project.
Immunefi itself is a Web3 security platform, currently protecting over $190 billion of user funds, including leading Western projects such as Synthetix, Chainlink, SushiSwap, MakerDAO, and Wormhole, all of which use Immunefi.
I think the future focus of the project mainly has two parts:
1. Because Immunefi itself has obtained SOC II Type II certification, more compliant projects or institutions in the future will tend to choose Immunefi.
2. In addition, Immunefi has launched security agents for DeFi, stablecoins, RWA (real-world assets), and institutional assets, namely Immunefi AI. If security defense automation can be achieved through the agent approach in the security field, it is still very promising.
