📣 New on the Nolus blog: When the Weakest Link Isn't the Code
In under four years, six protocols lost nearly $2.8B. None of it to a smart contract exploit.
• Ronin: $625M
• Harmony: $100M
• WazirX: $235M
• Radiant: $50M
• Bybit: $1.5B
• Drift: $285M
Every breach traced back to the same thing: compromised control. The attack pattern shifted from phishing messages to six-month embedded operations. Our new piece breaks down why governance changes the math.
