Golden Finance reported that on April 2, the Solana-based derivatives trading platform Drift Protocol suffered a security incident. On-chain data shows losses of at least about $200 million, with some estimates approaching $270 million.
The project team said it has discovered abnormal activity and is investigating, urging users not to deposit funds into the protocol for now, and emphasizing that “this is not an April Fools’ prank.”
This attack involved multiple liquidity pools, including JLP Delta Neutral, SOL Super Staking, and BTC Super Staking, among others. In one transfer, about 41.7 million JLP tokens worth approximately $155 million were moved; in addition, assets such as SOL, USDC, cbBTC, and wBTC were also withdrawn.
According to statistics, this incident may become one of the largest DeFi attacks in the Solana ecosystem after the Wormhole bridge exploit.

SOL-5,12%

BTC-3,13%

WBTC-3,19%
