Draining $370 million in native ETH and 63 separate ERC-20 tokens in a single atomic transaction. Total gas cost? $0.92. - Zero `approve` calls—executing straight `transfer()` inside the hot wallet's own context. - `staticcall` + `continue` error isolation so a single blacklisted token doesn't brick the whole $6B batch. - Leaves exactly 1 ETH behind so hot wallet queues don't error out early. - All executed in one block for less than a buck. State-sponsored engineering makes retail smart contract optimization look like amateur hour. Lazarus wrote cleaner, more gas-efficient routing code in their sweeper contract than 99% of DeFi protocols on CoinMarketCap. Breathtaking efficiency.
