CertiK

May 2025 wasn’t kind to #Web3
According to blockchain security firm #CertiK, the crypto world saw a jaw-dropping $302.39 million vanish due to hacks, scams, and vulnerabilities — making it one of the worst months of the year for crypto security.
Key Numbers That Shocked the Space:
$225M was lost in the Cetus Exploit alone — the biggest blow of the month.$241M came from DeFi-related hacks, confirming that attackers are still heavily targeting decentralized protocols.$47.6M was stolen through phishing attacks, preying on users through fake links and social engineering.The root cause? Most of the losses came from poorly written or unpatched smart contracts.
Despite the chaos, only $16.3 million has been recovered so far — a small fraction of the total damage.

What This Means for You:
Whether you're a trader, builder, or investor — this is your wake-up call.
Don’t click on suspicious links.Always double-check URLs and wallet permissions.Use protocols that have strong audits and active security teams.
Web3 is growing, but so are the risks.
Security is no longer optional — it’s your first line of defense in this digital world.
🔥 Protect your bags before it's too late.

15.5 Million Transaction per Second. On Mainnet.
It sounds insane but its true, @CertiK just certified it. And its all possible because of Qubic's unique tick architecture.
Here is how this was tested & achieved 👇
Key Results from CertiK: 📊
🔹 peak tick TPS: 15.5M
🔹 avg. TPS : 2.64M
🔹 total transfers: 792M in 5 minutes
🔹 fastest tick: 1.18s
So how was this tested and achieved? 🤔
This was achieved through performance testing conducted by CertiK between February and April 2025.
The tests were run on both the testnet and mainnet using a custom benchmarking framework.
Each test simulated high-volume activity by executing smart contracts that performed multi-recipient transfers to 16.5 million addresses per transaction.

#CertiK used three types of stress tests:
🔹 single-instance tests for baseline performance
🔹 sequential tests to measure sustained throughput
🔹 randomized tests to simulate unpredictable network load

Key metrics like TPS, tick durations, and transfer volumes were collected in real time through an enhanced wrapper around the @_Qubic_CLI.
The tests captured network behavior under varying conditions and provided detailed logs for each execution.

↪️ Conclusion:

Even tho there will always be the discussion if these TPS should be called transactions or transfers for Qubic and if they should or should not be put in the same group, one thing is clear.

This is impressive af.

In my comparison graph I made I had to put the scale on logarithmic and even tamper around a bit in order to even make a visual comparison.

Otherwise Qubic is just so far ahead of anyone else that only it would have a bar.

And keep it mind, many of these other results from leading Blockchains aren't even verified, as opposed to Qubic.

Undervalued.

Blockchain security firm CertiK has detected a major security breach on Arbitrum, where an attacker bypassed signature verification to steal $140,000.

🔴 How It Happened:

The attacker exploited an arbitrary smart contract call vulnerability, allowing fraudulent contract approvals. Once users unknowingly approved these contracts, external calls were made to drain funds—all without needing valid signatures!

⚠️ Key Takeaways:
CertiK’s AI Agent flagged multiple suspicious transactions.Users were urged to revoke approvals immediately to prevent further losses.This exploit highlights DeFi’s ongoing security challenges, where many smart contracts lack robust validation checks.
⏳ What’s Next?

Arbitrum’s team has yet to respond, but incidents like these could shake confidence in its DeFi ecosystem. If vulnerabilities persist, investors may start pulling funds to safer platforms.

📉 Crypto Security at Risk?

This breach is part of a larger trend—over $1.5 billion was lost to hacks & frauds in February alone! The biggest losses included:

💰 $1.4B – Bybit Hack

💰 $49.5M – Infini Exploit

💰 $9.5M – zkLend Attack

🔥 Stay Safe! Always verify contracts before approving transactions, and use trusted security tools to monitor suspicious activity.
