Security at a Glance 👀

Radiant: $58M

On October 16th, Radiant Capital suffered a security breach on Arbitrum and BSC, resulting in losses exceeding $50M. While the complete technical details of the exploit remain undisclosed, the protocol team confirmed the compromise of several developer wallets as the attack vector.

Unknown: $1.4M

On October 24th, an unknown Compound-fork protocol was exploited on Base, resulting in a loss of approximately $1.4m. While the affected contracts were unverified at the time of the incident, our analysis indicates that this attack was probably due to vulnerable price dependency on Uniswap spot price.

EGA: $554K

On October 5th, an unverified contract was exploited on BSC, causing a loss of $554k. The root cause was the lack of slippage protection in the function that buys EGA tokens from Pancake pairs, susceptible to price manipulation attacks.

P719: $315K

On October 11th, P719 token was exploited on BSC, resulting in a loss of $315k. While the compromised contract was unverified, we suspect the root cause was a flawed token burn mechanism within the P719 trading functionality.

Weekly Web3 Security Incident Roundup | Feb 9 – Feb 15, 2026

During the week of February 9 to February 15, 2026, three blockchain security incidents were reported with total losses of ~$657K. All incidents occurred on the BNB Smart Chain and involved flawed business logic in DeFi token contracts. The primary causes included an unchecked balance withdrawal from an intermediary contract that allowed donation-based inflation of a liquidity addition targeted by a sandwich attack, a post-swap deflationary clawback that returned sold tokens to the caller while draining pool reserves to create a repeatable price-manipulation primitive, and a token transfer override that burned tokens directly from a Uniswap V2 pair's balance and force-synced reserves within the same transaction to artificially inflate the token price.

#10 Panoptic Incident: XOR Linearity Breaks the Position Fingerprint Scheme

On August 29, 2025, Panoptic disclosed a Cantina bounty finding and confirmed that, with support from Cantina and Seal911, it executed a rescue operation on August 25 to secure roughly $400K in funds. The issue stemmed from a flaw in Panoptic’s position fingerprint calculation algorithm, which could have enabled incorrect position identification and downstream fund risk.
