A Solana-based AMM, Aquifer, was hacked on August 31, 2026, with approximately $2.5 million in assets stolen. The project has since issued a "white hat" offer via on-chain data, urging the attacker to return 80% of the funds to recovery addresses by September 3. The attacker may retain up to 20% as a bounty. If the terms are met, the team will not pursue legal action. The incident has drawn attention to altcoins to watch in the DeFi space.
