Solana’s Unlimited Minting Bug: Another Wake-Up Call
Solana recently patched a major vulnerability that could’ve let hackers mint unlimited SOL—an exploit with potentially devastating consequences.
This isn’t Solana’s first security misstep:
2022 Wallet Breach: Over 8,000 wallets were drained due to compromised third-party wallet integrations.
Repeated Outages: Solana has suffered multiple network outages, including one that halted the chain for over 17 hours due to transaction flooding.
2022 Wormhole Hack: A critical cross-chain bridge exploit led to $320 million in stolen assets, one of the largest in DeFi history.
Security must catch up with speed—because one flaw can undo years of progress.
