2025 Blockchain Security Report

Since 2020, over $250M are lost on average every month to on-chain hacks. This is projected to reach $30B yearly as adoption accelerates.

Without better security, this problem only grows as institutions move on-chain.

The blockchain security problem

Hackers steal over $2B every year from users and blockchain protocols due to preventable security flaws.

$17.5B+
Value lost since 2020
Attackers have stolen over $17.5B from blockchain protocols since 2020, making it one of cybersecurity's most targeted sectors.
$255M
Drained every month
Protocols lose ~$255M monthly to exploits, illustrating the persistent, widespread threat attackers pose.
$3.5B
Stolen through compromised keys
Insufficient key management practices is one of the largest attack vectors,  impacting users or treasuries with poor processes.
$12M+
Average cost per exploit
Every breach drains millions from DeFi protocols. Losses that could be mitigated through stronger preventative measures.
