$3.4 billion in ETH lost forever
Coinbase warns that 913,000 ETH (0.76% of the total) have already been lost due to user errors, bugs, and poorly designed contracts.
⚠️ Notable cases:
- Parity Multisig: 306k ETH
- Quadriga: 60k ETH
- Akutars NFT: 11.5k ETH
ETH sent to addresses without access.
🔥 With the 5.3M ETH burned by EIP-1559, the total loss exceeds 6.2M ETH (≈5% of the supply).
📉 Lost ETH has increased by 44% since 2023. And lost private keys or forgotten wallets are not counted.
🔐 Be careful when interacting with the network! In Ethereum, mistakes can be irreversible.
