Looking at a large number of protocol failures over this stretch, we see the same security culprits showing up again and again. The pattern is hard to ignore:
Compromised admin keys keep giving attackers direct access. Flawed upgrade mechanisms create backdoors. Smart contracts ship with bugs that nobody caught during audits. Then there's reentrancy exploits and broken access controls—classics that keep working because developers either rush or miss the edge cases.
Different projects, same vulnerabilities. It's like watching the industry repeat the same mistakes while knowing exactly what went wrong last time.

Keys being compromised, upgrade mechanism vulnerabilities, contract audit failures... Really, this round of explosions has left me numb, repeating like a template.
Where is the promised lesson learned? Turning around and making the same mistakes again—this is just outrageous.
Reentrance issues are still happening in 2024, are developers really rushing to meet deadlines?
Every time I see access control problems, I want to ask—audit reports are right there, how come they still can't learn?
After this round, I finally understand—some teams are even less reliable than users.
