DeFi protocols need to improve their security if they wanna sell themselves as the future of finance.

Hey. Crypto journalists. Put the fucking name of the coin that actually hacked in the title instead of throwing another more popular coin’s name in the dirt.
Balancer. That’s the coin that was hacked. It is on the Ethereum network, but Balancer’s entire locked value is $750million, and while the exploit did take $100million worth of Ethereum, that’s still significantly less than the -$10billion attached to Eth’s drop in the last 24 hours.
