$86M lost in Q1 2026. +213% YoY.
Most of it didn't come from novel exploits. It came from the same gaps repeating across teams.
We mapped them.

Our Smart Contract Auditor is hosting a workshop at @incrypted Conference this weekend.
Topic: why code that looks correct can still be vulnerable: 5 real audit traps, each with an example and a concrete review technique.
If you work in smart contract security or build anything
Hosted by Olesia Bilenka — Smart Contract Auditor at Hacken
4 years auditing. 150+ audits across Solidity (EVM) and FunC (TON).
📅 June 19 | 16:00 CET 🎥 Live + replay

Who should attend:
– Smart contract auditors moving into ZK
– ZK app devs (mixers, rollups, identity, private DeFi)
– Security engineers reviewing privacy-preserving systems
– Anyone who's ever shipped a verifyProof() and called it secure
What we'll cover:
→ Minimal ZK app mental model
→ Live break of a deterministic commitment
→ The 5 application-layer risk classes
→ A practical audit checklist
No SNARK math. No cryptography lecture. Application layer only.
You don't need to break the cryptography to break a ZK application.
A valid proof of the wrong statement is still a bug.
On June 19 (16:00 CET), a Hacken auditor breaks a ZK privacy property — live, in code.
Free. Up to 60 min. Auditor-grade.

Specialized audit capabilities, Daml-focused security research, and practical experience securing blockchain infrastructure for institutional use cases – that is what Hacken brings to the Canton ecosystem.

For institutional blockchain infrastructure, generic smart contract review is not enough.
Canton-based applications involve advanced multi-party permissions, privacy-preserving workflows, Daml smart contracts, integration logic, and regulated financial systems each with its
Hacken is now an ecosystem auditing provider for @CantonNetwork, a privacy-enabled blockchain built for institutional finance.
We will support financial institutions, tokenized asset issuers, payment providers, and ecosystem builders with specialized security reviews.
$71M lost in May. April was $630M.
The drop looks good. But the nature of attacks is shifting — cross-chain infrastructure failures and AI-powered targeting, not smart contract bugs.
