DEX

DEXs are peer-to-peer marketplaces where users trade cryptocurrencies directly from their wallets via Automated Market Makers (AMM) or on-chain order books. By removing central authorities, DEXs like Uniswap and Raydium prioritize privacy and user sovereignty. The 2026 DEX landscape is dominated by intent-based trading, MEV protection, and cross-chain liquidity aggregation.

Bunni DEX Halts Smart Contracts After Exploit Drains $8.4M Across Chains

The post Bunni DEX Halts Smart Contracts After Exploit Drains $8.4M Across Chains appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bunni, a decentralized exchange built on Uniswap v4’, paused all smart contract functions after a security breach drained an estimated $8.4 million in crypto. Blockchain security firm CertiK said the exploit targeted BunniHub, Bunni’s main contract system, and resulted in $2.3 million in losses on Ethereum. An earlier attack on Uniswap Labs’ layer-2 network Unichain pushed total losses to around $8.4 million. The firm traced the stolen funds to two Ethereum wallets. Bunni’s developers have suspended all contract operations across supported networks while they investigate the incident, according to a social media post. “As a precaution, we have paused all smart contract functions on all networks. Our team is actively investigating and will provide updates soon. Thank you for your patience,” Bunni’s post reads. The exchange runs on Uniswap v4’s “hooks” feature, which Uniswap Labs CEO Hayden Adams described as “plugins to customize how pools, swaps, fees, and LP positions interact.” Source: https://www.coindesk.com/web3/2025/09/02/bunni-dex-halts-smart-contracts-after-exploit-drains-usd8-4m-across-chains

Is SOL’s Price-Network Divergence a Red Flag?

Is SOL’s Price-Network Divergence a Red Flag?

The post Is SOL’s Price-Network Divergence a Red Flag? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. While Solana’s daily active addresses dropped more than 80%, the price of SOL still surged over 100%. This raises the question of whether SOL’s price rally is driven by trading sentiment rather than fundamentals. The article highlights analysts’ warnings about this divergence and the reasons behind it. Solana’s Network Activity Drops Sharply Over the Past Four Months Maksim, founder of Santiment, pointed out that despite the rising SOL price, network activity—including active addresses and network growth—has slowed. Since May, daily active addresses have fallen from 6 million to just 1 million, and network growth has also declined from 4.9 million to 1 million. The accompanying chart shows a classic bearish divergence: price climbs while on-chain metrics move in the opposite direction. Solana Active Address & Network Growth. Source: Santiment Maksim noted that historically, this pattern often signals a trend reversal and could serve as a warning for investors. “Early data shows familiar patterns. Right now, we’re seeing a classic bearish divergence: price pushing up while network activity lags. Historically, this often signals a trend shift,” Maksim said. Santiment’s report added that based on historical data, such patterns usually lead to a sharp reversal, with about a 90% probability. BeInCrypto also reported that Solana DEX traders have dropped by 90% over the past year, reflecting weaker demand for tokens within the Solana ecosystem. Market Sentiment Toward SOL Remains Positive Despite falling network activity, SOL’s price has climbed from below $100 in April to above $200, according to BeInCrypto. Solana Price Performance. Source: BeInCrypto Traders ignore negative on-chain signals and continue buying SOL, expecting further price gains. Several top asset managers—including Fidelity, VanEck, and Franklin Templeton—recently amended their Solana ETF filings with the SEC. Analysts estimate the probability of approval now exceeds 90%. Market forecasts suggest a Solana ETF could attract up…

Bunni DEX Suffers $2.3M Hack, Exposes Key DeFi Security Vulnerabilities

Bunni DEX Suffers $2.3M Hack, Exposes Key DeFi Security Vulnerabilities

Decentralized exchange Bunni has suffered a $2.3M exploit on the Ethereum blockchain, per blockchain security scanner Blocksec Phalcon. The exploit occurred on Tuesday and appears to have been caused by unauthorized access. The attackers reportedly targeted Bunni’s Ethereum-based smart contracts, though the exact technique is yet to be disclosed. Per Etherscan, the perpetrators drained funds from the platform to the address 0xE04e… 64f2b, which held Aave Ethereum USDC and Aave Ethereum USDT tokens. Bunni Protocol Pauses all Smart Contract Functions Soon after the initial flagging of the exploit, Bunni protocol posted on X that its team is investigating the breach. “The Bunni app has been affected by a security exploit. As a precaution, we have paused all smart contract functions on all networks,” said Bunni. “Our team is actively investigating and will provide updates soon.” Bunni DEX allows users to trade crypto directly with each other, without the need for a central intermediary. The platform relies heavily on smart contracts in order to facilitate transactions. Michael Bentley, Co-founder and CEO of Euler Labs, urged users to “remove funds from Bunni ASAP.” He added that Bunni rebalances funds in/out of Euler, assuring Euler is not affected or at risk. Exploit Exposes Smart Contract Security Risks Smart contracts, which work on blockchain networks, can be used for trading, managing financial transactions and more. Since they are digital, smart contract security becomes crucial. Risks can come from various factors like code bugs, blockchain vulnerabilities, and programming language flaws, notes blockchain security auditor CertiK. In 2023, smart contract vulnerabilities accounted for over $686 million in losses, said CertiK. Experts from Apex, a DEX for derivatives trading, told Cryptonews that these vulnerabilities can be controlled by interacting “only with contracts audited by reputable firms.” Further, limiting token approval permissions can prevent wallet-draining exploits, they added
