Bunni DEX Halts Smart Contracts After $8.4M Exploit Drains Funds Across Chains

Another day, another DeFi exploit—Bunni DEX just got rocked for $8.4 million.

Smart contracts frozen. Funds drained. Chains compromised.

The aftermath: Bunni pulls emergency brakes, suspends all contract interactions. No new deposits, no withdrawals—just radio silence while the team scrambles.

Cross-chain vulnerabilities strike again. Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism—all hit. The exploit didn’t discriminate; it just drained whatever liquidity it could find.

White-hats? MIA. Black-hats? Counting their crypto. Meanwhile, retail investors are left holding the bag—classic DeFi theater.

Bunni’s promise: 'We’re investigating.' Translation: 'We hope you like waiting and praying.'

So—was it a flash loan attack? A reentrancy bug? An admin key leak? Nobody knows yet. But one thing’s clear: in crypto, your assets are only as safe as the smartest guy in the room… or the dumbest.

Stay cautious. DYOR. And maybe—just maybe—keep some funds off-chain. Because sometimes, the safest smart contract is no contract at all.
