February 2022 - Wormhole Bridge Hack: $325 million in assets stolen from the Solana-Ethereum Wormhole bridge.
August 2022 - Slope Wallet Hack: $4.5–8 million in assets stolen due to a vulnerability in the Slope Finance wallet.
October 2022 - Mango Markets Exploit: $114 million lost through market manipulation and smart contract exploit.
2023 - solana/web3.js npm Package Attack: Supply chain attack targeting Solana’s web3.js library.
The February 2022 Wormhole hack ($325M) shook confidence in Solana’s ecosystem. Users called

$Sui is just starting, with strong potential.
