⚠️ $17B lost to crypto hacks in the last decade — and the trend is worsening.
DeFiLlama data shows 518 exploits since 2016. That’s roughly one major breach every week for 10 years.
The main culprit isn’t smart contract code.
It’s private key compromise — phishing, brute-force attacks, and weak security practices — accounting for $3.6B+ in losses.
Key stats:
* 2025: worst year on record with $4.04B stolen
* 2026: Kelp DAO rsETH bridge exploit (~$290M), largest so far this year
Bottom line: in DeFi, security risk outweighs market risk.
Use hardware wallets. Protect your seed phrase. Avoid unverified links.
