The attacker supplied the compromised rsETH to Aave and borrowed against it, resulting in bad debt and serving…

Solana token trading has completely changed its profile in two years. On average, token holders only retain new assets for 62 seconds. Solana token trading is shifting from community-based activity to a bot-driven frenzy. In 2024, Solana meme tokens could last for weeks, building communities and going through multiple price cycles.
