We Analyzed 550+ Web3 Hacks From the Past 15 YearsWe analyzed a sample of over 550 hacks that occurred in the blockchain space over the past 15 years. Our initial hypothesis was that the proportion of hacks related to smart contracts has gone down in recent years. We assumed that as developer tooling improved, smart contract libraries became more widespread, audits became more common, and knowledge of known vulnerabilities increased, smart contract-related exploits would become less frequent....
