🚨 DeFi Attacks Expose $885M Security Gap
📉 A recent preprint study found that DeFi protocols lost around $885M in attacks during the first half of 2026 that occurred outside identified audit scopes.
🔍 Researchers reviewed 135 reported incidents, with 68 protocols having undergone public audits before the attacks.
⚠️ The findings highlight an important issue: being audited does not automatically mean a DeFi protocol is fully protected. Vulnerabilities can exist in areas that audits did not cover.
🛡️ Stronger audit coverage, continuous monitoring, testing, and better security practices could be critical as DeFi grows.
👀 Is the DeFi industry relying too heavily on audits instead of continuous security?
