Solana engineers quietly deployed a fix this week for a vulnerability that could have allowed attackers to mint—and steal—certain tokens on the network.
The exploit, which was patched without fanfare, highlights the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between blockchain developers and bad actors looking for cracks in the system.
No funds were lost, but the incident serves as a reminder that even top-tier protocols aren’t immune to exploits—much to the chagrin of ’this time it’s different’ crypto maximalists.
