Last week on Solana was a stress-test week. A major exploit shook the ecosystem while institutions, RWAs, and infra kept moving forward. Pressure on one side. Acceleration on the other. Here’s everything you missed in 90 seconds 👇 ⚠️ Major Exploit: Drift Hack • @DriftProtocol suffered a $250M–$280M exploit • Teams are working with exchanges, bridges, and authorities → Attempting to trace and freeze funds • Impact spread across the ecosystem: → @xplaceapp reported $392K affected TVL → @DeFiCarrot warns $CRT holders could face 50% loss Biggest event of the week.
